In fact, installing the kitchen faucet is not complicated. As long as you have the necessary tools and follow the steps, you can easily handle it yourself and save on the installation cost. Of course, if you don't want to do it yourself, you can simply contact a professional installer to come and install it at your place, which is convenient and saves a lot of effort.

What do you need to prepare before starting?

• Tools and materials must be prepared

  The main items needed are an adjustable wrench, a screwdriver, adhesive tape, waterproof glue. If a level is available, it will help us position the faucet more accurately.

• Inspection of accessories is essential

  Before installation, Open the packaging of the new faucet and check if all the accessories such as the woven water supply hose, rubber gasket, fixing nut, and decorative cover (wall cover) are present and undamaged. Avoid discovering missing parts halfway through the installation.

• Preparatory Key Operations

  The water source must be turned off first，This step is the most crucial. Close the Hot and Cold Shutoff Valves below the sink, open the drainage pipe of the old faucet to release the remaining water, and pre-rinse the water supply pipeline to remove sediment and impurities, so as to prevent the subsequent faucet valve cores from getting clogged.

How to install it step by step in detail ？

1. ‌Remove the old faucet‌

   Use a wrench to loosen the nut that connects the old faucet to the hose, then remove the nut that is fixed to the sink. Gently remove the old faucet, and at the same time, scrape off the glue residue around the installation holes on the countertop.

2. ‌Fix the new faucet‌

   Insert the inlet pipe of the new faucet through the installation hole on the countertop, and place a rubber gasket underneath. Tighten it with the fixing nut. Be careful not to twist the faucet too hard, and you can use a level to check if it is level.

3. ‌Connect the inlet pipe‌

   Connect the hose of the faucet to the cold and hot water pipes on the wall. Follow the principle of "left for hot, right for cold". Wrap a few turns of duct tape around the connection to prevent leakage. Tighten it with a wrench, but don't exert too much force.

4. Water test‌

   After installation, don't rush to use it. Open the angle valve to let the water flow for a while to wash away the impurities in the pipes. Then carefully check if there is any leakage at the connection, and if the switch handle moves smoothly.

What should I do if I encounter problems after installation?

• ‌Interface leakage‌

This is mostly caused by the glue band not being properly wrapped or the nuts not being tightened. Turn off the water, remove the interface, wrap thicker glue band and tighten it again to try.

• ‌Plunger shaking‌

This indicates that the fixing nuts at the bottom are loose. Go to the bottom of the sink and tighten the nuts again. If the hole is too large, you can add a stainless steel flange plate to support it.

• ‌Flow reduced‌

It might be that there are impurities blocking the water outlet in the water pipe. Remove the bubble remover of the plunger and clean it, or check if the hose is bent.

Follow these steps, and you can install the new faucet in just 20 minutes. This will save you nearly 100 yuan in labor costs for professional installation. The sense of achievement when seeing your old kitchen suddenly transformed is much more enjoyable than hiring a worker to come to your house.
