How do you remove a kitchen faucet

Remove a kitchen faucet by placing a basin underneath the water lines to catch any spills, turning off the water valves and disconnecting the lines from the valve and faucet. Use a basin wrench to remove the retaining nuts from the faucet, and wiggle it free from the sink.

 

1. Place a basin under the supply valves
   Place a shallow basin between the angle valves and the floor before disconnecting the line.
2.  
3. Turn off the water valves
   There are two supply valves under the sink, hot and cold. Turn both counterclockwise to the off 
   position before proceeding.
4.  
5. Remove the water supply lines
   Disconnect both the hot and cold supply lines from the angle valves. Use an adjustable wrench to grasp the retaining nuts and pliers to hold the valve in place. If you can do so easily, remove the supply lines from the faucet. If you find it difficult to remove these lines, wait until you remove the faucet to remove them.

7. Use the basin wrench to remove the retaining nuts
   The basin wrench has a long handle set at the correct angle to allow easy removal of the retaining nuts. Place the wrench over the nut, and turn the wrench to loosen it.

9. Remove the faucet
   Wiggle the faucet to free it from the sink. Lift the faucet out of the way, guiding the supply lines through the holes if they remain attached. Clean any plumber's putty from the top of the sink before installing a new faucet.

How do you install a kitchen faucet

Install a kitchen faucet by turning off the water supply, removing any obstacles in the way, removing the old faucet, attaching the faucet to the sink and installing new supply lines. Replace the obstacles, and turn on the water supply valves. The process usually takes about an hour.

1. Turn off the water supply
   Turn both the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink to the off position. If the valves are missing or nonoperational, turn off the water supply to the entire home.
2.  
3. Remove obstacles
   If the garbage disposal or traps are in the way, take time to remove them. Having a clear path makes it much quicker and easier to install the sink.
4.  
5. Remove the old faucet
   Disconnect the supply lines from the valves. If there are no valves or the valves are bad, remove and replace them at this time, and restore water to the rest of the home.
6.  
7. Attach the new faucet to the sink
   Attach flexible faucet supply lines to the new faucet. Place a bead of plumber's caulk around the edge of the new faucet base. Thread the supply lines through the holes on the sink. Start the faucet nuts over the threaded portion of the faucet that extends through the holes. Tighten the nuts with a basin wrench.
