Tools and Materials You Will Need:

Adjustable wrench
Basin wrench
Phillips head screwdriver
Flat head screwdriver
Plumber's putty (optional)
New bathroom faucet

Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply

Before you begin, it is important to turn off the water supply to your bathroom. There will be two shut-off valves under the sink, one for the hot water and one for the cold water. Turn both valves clockwise to turn off the water.

Step 2: Remove the Old Faucet

Once the water supply is turned off, you can remove the old faucet. Start by loosening the nuts that hold the faucet in place. You can use an adjustable wrench or a basin wrench to do this. Once the nuts are loose, you can pull the faucet up and out of the sink.

Step 3: Clean the Mounting Surface

Before you install the new faucet, it is important to clean the mounting surface. Use a damp cloth and some mild cleaner to remove any dirt or debris. If you are using plumber's putty, apply a thin bead around the base of the faucet. This will help to seal the faucet and prevent leaks.

Step 4: Install the New Faucet

Now you can install the new faucet. Place the faucet in the sink and align the mounting holes. Thread the nuts onto the faucet's mounting bolts and tighten them by hand. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the nuts fully.

Step 5: Connect the Water Supply Lines

Next, you need to connect the water supply lines to the faucet. There will be two water supply lines, one for the hot water and one for the cold water. Connect the hot water line to the faucet's hot water inlet and the cold water line to the faucet's cold water inlet. Tighten the nuts on the water supply lines using a wrench.

Step 6: Turn on the Water Supply

Once the water supply lines are connected, you can turn on the water supply. Open both shut-off valves under the sink and turn on the faucet. Check for any leaks. If there are any leaks, tighten the nuts on the water supply lines or the mounting nuts on the faucet.

Step 7: Enjoy Your New Faucet

You have now successfully installed your new bathroom faucet. Enjoy the new look and feel of your bathroom and the convenience of a new, high-quality faucet.
