Steps:
1. Shut off water by hand or with a specialty wrench. Be careful not to over torque.
2. Use a pan or rag to catch any dripping water under the sink. Turn on the faucet to relieve any water pressure left in the lines.
3. Disconnect the supply lines from the faucet. Use a multi-purpose plumbing tool if you cannot reach by hand.
4. Remove the old faucet.
5. Place Plumber’s Putty around the bottom of the faucet to make a water tight connection. It should fill in any imperfection of the sink.
6. Place the faucet through the mounting holes in the sink and tighten the nuts.
7. Remove the excess putty.
8. Install the lift rod.
