The sink always been the kitchen's
primary workstation, making the choice of bowl
(configuration and material) and faucet a highly
individual preference. When planning and upgrade, go for
tough materials and big scale (deeper, broader bowls,
higher-spouted faucets), both of which add up to
convenience. The debate over kitchen sink materials
centers on three key characteristics: durability,
noise-dampening capacity, and ease of maintenance.
Faucets come manufactured in a number of spout and
handle styles and in an assortment of finishes, too:
chrome, brass, nickel, stainless steel, and copper.

Replace Faucets. How to install
faucets. |
|
Your faucets may not match your
decor, and having new bathroom fixtures installed can be
expensive. You can save a great deal of money by
installing a new fixture yourself.
What do you need to install new
faucets?
 Basin cock wrench
Phillips - and flat-head screwdrivers
Slip-joint pliers
Adjustable pliers
Adjustable wrench
Teflon paste (or Teflon tape)
Bathroom
caulk and caulk gun
New supply tubes
-
Turn off the water supply at the valves under the
sink or at the main water supply valve.
-
Loosen the supply tubes at the hot and cold
valves.
-
Use the basin wrench to loosen and remove the
compression nut at the faucet stem.
-
Remove the nut holding the faucet to the sink, and
remove the faucet.
* If your new faucets include a new pop-up for the
drain, you may want to replace this as well. If you
replace the pop-up assembly, be sure to place a bucket
under the drain to prevent spills. Also, it's a good
idea to replace any older chrome-plated brass hardware
because of its tendency to deteriorate over time.
Remove the existing pop-up drain
-
Remove the nut above the P-trap and loosen the nut
attached to the P-trap.
-
Remove the pop-up lever from the drain.
-
Loosen the lock nut holding the drain to the sink.
-
Unscrew the drain and the drain flange.
Install the new bathroom faucet and drain pop-up
-
Place Teflon paste or tape on the faucet stems.
-
If your bathroom faucet includes a rubber gasket, install
it on the base of the faucet before inserting the
faucet stems in the appropriate holes in the sink. If
your faucet doesn't include a gasket, run a line of
caulk under the faucet before installing it.
-
Secure the nuts holding the faucet to the sink.
Tighten the nuts by hand and then give them another
quarter-turn with the basin wrench.
-
Connect the supply tubes to the faucet stems.
-
Apply Teflon paste to the shutoff valve threads,
and tighten the coupling nuts to the faucet supply
stems. Be sure not to overtighten.
-
Apply caulk to the underside of the drain flange,
and press it into the drain hole.
-
Place the lock nut on the drain housing, then
place the metal washer and the gasket onto the
housing.
-
Screw the drain housing tightly to the flange. If
the flange begins to rotate, hold it steady by
inserting the plastic handle of your pliers.
-
Drop the pop-up drain into place, keeping the hole
for the control pin toward the rear of the sink.
-
Place the bail lever in the side hole of the drain
assembly so that the control pin fits through the
appropriate hole in the pop-up drain.
-
Set the drain rod into the hole in the faucet, and
attach the connecting link to the faucet rod by
tightening the attached screw. Make sure the pop-up is
up and the drain rod is down; then attach the bail
lever to the connection link using the V-clip. The
pop-up should go down when the lever is pulled up.
-
Attach the new drain extension to the P-trap.
-
Clean the supply tubes by removing the aerator
from the faucet and turning on the water. While the
water is running, check for leaks. Shut the water off
after you are certain there are no leaks, and replace
the aerator.

What Kind of Faucets? |
|
Single-hole
and single-lever faucets integrate the spout
and mixing handle or handles into one fitting. Compact
and easy-to-use, they require only one faucet hole
drilling. Some faucets will include an optional six-inch
cover plate for existing four-inch drill installations.
|
|
Centerset
faucets for standard four-inch drill
installations handles mounted onto a six-inch plate.
These are recommended for smaller, pre-existing,
pre-drilled basins. |
|
Widespread
faucets offer the greatest design flexibility.
A mini-widespread faucet has three separate pieces in a
smaller, standard four-inch drilling. A widespread
faucet has a standard spread or drilling of at least
eight inches. |
|
Wall-mounted
faucets for above-the-counter and freestanding
basins require a longer spout for extended reach. |
|
In
the bath, the faucet is typically set in either 4” or 8”
width configurations. In the 4” set you can have a
centerset or mini widespread setup; if it’s 8” or more,
it is known as a widespread set. When you choose your
new faucet, you can change styles, but will have to stay
with the same size, or replace the sink if you want to
switch. |

look you want to achieve in your bath or kitchen, but
