  • Insert the new faucet through the mounting holes and secure it in place using the mounting hardware and nuts.

  • Reconnect the water supply lines to the new faucet using your adjustable wrench.

Step 4: Test the New Faucet

  • Turn on the water supply valves under the sink and check for any leaks around the new faucet.
