The old tap is leaking underneath when I turn it on. I have a new one I want to use. How hard is it to do the job? Are there some illustrations somewhere online that will help? Thanks in advance!
it isn't too hard counting on your skills. you'll want a basin wrench. you need to disconnect the availability strains (both warm and chilly) and eliminate both nuts protecting the old tap in position. next you want to position in the hot tap it fairly is in many cases a 2 guy pastime, one to carry the tap immediately and the different to tighten the nuts. I advise you replace your furnish strains with versatile strains. very last yet no longer least you'll favor to hook up the stopper rod that open and closes the stopper contained in the sink. nicely it fairly is the way it truly is achieved. I figure you are able to now opt for in case you want to handle the pastime. good success!
Not hard 1. turn off both water valves under the sink turn both taps on full to drain the pressure off the line 2.get pliers like channel locks, or adjustable wrench remove water lines not at the valve but at the faucet bottom under the cabinet. 3 unscrew counterclockwise both lines a little water may come out its normal if it appears to be continuous tighten the valves more. 4 Under the water lines are the hold down nuts remove both and pull unit out from topside then repeat the procedure in reverse, use Teflon tape on the threads to help aid sealing and prevent water from rusting them together, make sure everything is tight and turn the valves on You may want to remove the aerator under the nozzle just in case the lines are old and rusty let run for a minute or two then screw the aerator back on . if all rusty you may have to break the nuts on the bottom side that holds it on its not a big deal considering it toast anyway. make sure you bring a flash light and wear glasses because stuff will fall into your eyes 3-4 wraps clockwise with the Teflon tape on each thread you can pre wrap the faucet prior to install. Hope it helps Lr
it's not real hard. The hardest part is squeezing under the sink to tighten the fittings. Look it up on U-tube. There is sure to be at least one video. Otherwise google the instructions and you'll get more videos and written advice.
