Tools and Materials You’ll Need

• Adjustable wrench
• Basin wrench
• Plumber’s tape
• Screwdriver
• Sink faucet
• Bucket
• Cleaning cloths

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Prepare Your Workspace

Before beginning, clear out the under-sink area to give yourself ample room to work. Ensure your kitchen taps are turned off, and double-check that there's no water running by opening the faucet to let any remaining water drain out.

2. Disconnect the Old Faucet

Using your adjustable wrench, disconnect the water supply lines from the old faucet. Use a basin wrench to reach under the sink to access hard-to-reach nuts securing the faucet. Place a bucket underneath to catch any residual water.

3. Clean the Surface

Once removed, use a cleaning cloth to wipe down the surface area where the new faucet will be installed. This ensures that the new faucet will sit flush without any obstructions.

4. Install the New Faucet

Position the new faucet into the holes on the sink. Depending on the model, you may need to add a gasket or apply plumber's tape to prevent leaks. Secure the faucet by tightening the mounting nuts from underneath using the basin wrench.

Consider Paragon Faucets' selection, such as the Deventer Premium - Luxury Design Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet or the versatile Gothenburg - Pull Down Spray Dual Handle Swivel Spout Kitchen Faucet.

5. Connect the Supply Lines

Attach the water supply lines to your new faucet. Ensure that connections are tight to prevent leaks.

6. Check for Leaks

Turn on the water supply and let it run through the new faucet. Check underneath and around the faucet for any signs of leakage. Tighten any loose connections if necessary.

7. Clean and Finish

Wipe down the faucet and surrounding area to remove any fingerprints or smudging.
