How To Remove Bathroom Faucet From Sink

Replacing a bathroom faucet is a relatively simple plumbing repair that can be completed in a few hours. Before you begin, you will need to gather the following tools and materials:

Adjustable wrench
Allen wrench
Phillips screwdriver
Flathead screwdriver
Bucket
Rags
New faucet

Once you have gathered your tools and materials, you can begin the process of removing the old faucet.

1. Turn off the water supply.

The first step is to turn off the water supply to the faucet. This is typically done by turning the handles of the shut-off valves located under the sink. If there are no shut-off valves, you will need to turn off the main water supply to your home.

2. Disconnect the water supply lines.

Once the water supply is turned off, you can disconnect the water supply lines from the faucet. To do this, use an adjustable wrench to loosen the nuts that connect the lines to the faucet. Be careful not to overtighten the nuts, as this can damage the lines.

3. Remove the mounting nuts.

The next step is to remove the mounting nuts that hold the faucet in place. These nuts are typically located on the underside of the sink. Use a wrench to loosen the nuts and then remove them by hand.

4. Lift the faucet out of the sink.

Once the mounting nuts are removed, you can lift the faucet out of the sink. Be careful not to damage the sink or the faucet when doing this.

5. Clean the sink surface.

Once the faucet is removed, you can clean the sink surface. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris. You may also want to use a mild cleaner to remove any soap scum or hard water deposits.

6. Install the new faucet.

Now you can install the new faucet. To do this, reverse the steps you took to remove the old faucet.

First, insert the new faucet into the sink hole. Then, secure the faucet in place with the mounting nuts. Tighten the nuts until they are snug, but do not overtighten them.

Next, connect the water supply lines to the faucet. To do this, use an adjustable wrench to tighten the nuts that connect the lines to the faucet. Again, be careful not to overtighten the nuts.

7. Turn on the water supply.

Once the new faucet is installed, turn on the water supply and check for leaks. If there are any leaks, tighten the nuts on the water supply lines until the leaks stop.

8. Test the faucet.

Once the leaks have been stopped, test the faucet to make sure it is working properly. Turn the handles on and off to make sure the water flows smoothly and there are no drips.
