Welcome to this 2 part video series which will teach you how to install a basic kitchen deck faucet. This is the first video in this series.
I guess by now you realize that I do a good deal of my videos on my workbench to demonstrate the steps one must take before deciding to take on a plumbing repair or replacement.
With the exception of the of the grit, grime, roaches, spiders and yes the occasional frozen locknut, the steps are all the same and I feel I can present that to you much better on the bench top.
Don’t get me wrong, I will be taking you on the jobsite for certain jobs and or repairs but for this video we’re back on the bench top.
This video is all about installing a basic kitchen deck faucet and the process to remove the old one.
Although the faucet in the video does come equipped for a hose and spray attachment, I’m not featuring it other than to point out screwing in the hose before you mount the faucet to the sink.
I’ll go into detail about hose and spray attachments in a future video but in the meantime, you can check out my video on “How to replace a kitchen hose spray diverter”.
Back to faucet land, and as usual, you must shut off the water supply before disconnecting the basin supply tubes. Miss this step and be prepared for your second shower of the day!
Once the basin supplies are off, follow up with the locknuts and then you can proceed to remove the old faucet. I’ll tell you what, check out part 1 of this two-part video and I’ll catch up with you in part 2.
