How to Install a Basin Faucet: Step-by-Step Guide

Installing a basin faucet is a crucial part of any bathroom renovation or construction project. Proper installation ensures not only the functionality of the faucet but also its longevity. YOROOW, a leading Chinese faucet manufacturer, is here to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to install a basin faucet correctly.

Tools and Materials You'll Need:

Before you start the installation process, make sure you have the following tools and materials ready:

• Basin faucet
• Adjustable wrench
• Plumber's tape (Teflon tape)
• Plumber's putty
• Screwdriver
• Bucket or towel (to catch any water)
• Towel or rag (for cleanup)

Step 1: Prepare the Workspace

Ensure that the area around the basin is clean and dry. Clear away any clutter and provide ample space to work comfortably.

Step 2: Turn Off the Water Supply

Locate the shut-off valves under the basin and turn them off by turning the valve handles clockwise. If there are no shut-off valves, you may need to turn off the main water supply to your home temporarily.

Step 3: Remove the Old Faucet (if applicable)

If you are replacing an old faucet, use your adjustable wrench to disconnect the water supply lines and remove the old faucet. Make sure to have a bucket or towel handy to catch any residual water.

Step 4: Prepare the Faucet

Before placing the new faucet, apply plumber's tape (Teflon tape) to the threads of the faucet stems. This tape helps create a watertight seal.

Step 5: Apply Plumber's Putty (if required)

If your faucet requires a gasket or plumber's putty for sealing, follow the manufacturer's instructions to apply it to the base of the faucet.

Step 6: Position the Faucet

Insert the faucet into the mounting holes on the basin, aligning it properly. Make sure the faucet is level and centered.

Step 7: Secure the Faucet

From under the basin, use a wrench to secure the faucet in place. Be careful not to overtighten, as it can damage the faucet or the basin.

Step 8: Connect Water Supply Lines

Reconnect the water supply lines to the faucet stems. Use your adjustable wrench to tighten them, ensuring a snug fit. Double-check for any leaks.

Step 9: Turn On the Water Supply

Slowly turn on the shut-off valves or the main water supply to allow water to flow to the faucet. Check for any leaks around the connections.

Step 10: Test the Faucet

Turn on the faucet and check for proper water flow and temperature control. Make sure there are no leaks around the base or connections.

Step 11: Clean Up

Wipe down the faucet and basin to remove any fingerprints, residue, or plumber's putty.
