How To Replace A Bathroom Faucet?

A bathroom faucet is usually installed with a pipe that snakes out from the wall. It is helpful to have someone help you when you are installing a new one. There are many different types of faucets, so it’s important to know the type that you have before buying one.

Instructions:

-Turn off the water supply and drain any remaining water from the system by removing its hoses.There are three main faucet types available today: single hole, 4” triple hole, and 8” triple hole. In the single-hole faucet, the center control typically not only serves as the spout but the mixing valve as well. In the triple-holes faucets, the center device is usually just the spout with the mixing valves 4” or 8” from the center on each side respectively.
-Unscrew and remove the old faucet by turning it counterclockwise. Make sure to wear protective gloves or use a rag because there will be some leftover water in there.
Start by shutting off the wall valves and turning on the faucet to drain down residual pressure. With a bucket handy, use an adjustable wrench to loosen and remove the flexible extension from the faucet. Drain the remaining water into the bucket. remove the flexible line from the shutoff valve.
-Install your new faucet by screwing it into place clockwise until it is tight enough not to move but not too tight as this can cause problems.
If you are using a single-hole faucet, you will skip the next steps. Assemble the hot and cold mixing valves. In this case, a large nut and washer tightens the valve from below while a large washer and C-clip holds the valve at the top. Apply plumber’s putty to the sculpted bottom side of the top washer. Install the C-clip, and tighten the nut from below. Just as a reminder, the hot and cold valves are left and right respectively.
Finally,reinstall the drain rod to the extension, and tighten the clamp bolt. Double check all your fittings, and slowly turn ON the shut off valves one at a time. Look for leaks, and if all is well, test and flush the new faucet for two minutes.
