Step 6: Attach the faucet Set faucet on sink and center it. Push down on it to seal putty in place. Attach holding nuts underneath the sink. Make sure as you are tightening the nuts that the faucet doesn’t move and go out of alignment. Tighten nuts securely and remove excess putty from base of faucet. Install sprayer holder, tighten nut, and remove excess putty. Step 5: Connect the base Depending on the faucet you have, there may be a plastic gasket for the base of it that needs putty applied to it. Apply putty to the base of the gasket that will be placed between the sink and the new faucet. A small amount of putty is all that’s needed. Do the same with the sprayer holder. Some faucets may come with a self-sealing gasket which will remove the need for putty.
Step 7: Reattach supply lines to new faucet
Reattach supply lines to faucet. It’s always a good idea to replace supply lines when getting a new faucet—old supply lines can allow leakage.
Step 7: Turn the water back on
Remove aerator from spout of faucet. Turn the water back on and run water through the spout to rinse and objects out. Reinstall aerator and you’re ready to use your new faucet!
