Kitchen faucet is a common household appliance used to deliver safe drinking water from a potable water source.
The water passes from the potable water source through the pipes under high pressure and at high temperature.
To maintain hygiene, people can attach a separate attachment to the spout of the kitchen faucets that accommodates a sprayer nozzle or stream of filtered clean drinking water for hand washing/dishwashing purposes after food preparation.

The first thing you will need to do is turn off the water to your sink. Locate the shut off valves under your sink and turn them clockwise to close. Once the water is off, open your faucet to release any remaining water in the lines.
Next, use a wrench to loosen the nuts connecting the supply lines to the faucet. Be careful not to damage the supply lines as you remove them. With the supply lines removed, you should now be able to see the faucet's mounting nuts. Use your wrench to remove these as well.
At this point, you should be able to remove the old faucet and install the new one. Start by attaching the new faucet to the sink and then reattach the supply lines. Once everything is tightened in place, turn on the water and check for leaks.
If you need any help along the way, do not hesitate to give Wrench It Up plumbing and mechanical a call. We are always happy to help!
