Installing new bathroom taps or faucets can upgrade the look and functionality of your space. Although installing new faucets in the bathroom may be daunting, it becomes a DIY home improvement that you can easily handle with the right tools and following the right procedure. For instance, here's a simple guide that will help you install bathroom faucets most effectively:
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Prepare in advance when installing by making sure you have the following tools and materials beforehand:
● Adjustable wrench
● Basin wrench
● Plumber's tape
● A bucket or towel for catching excess water
● Silicone sealant
● Preparing everything will save you time and make the task much easier.
Step 2: Shut Off the Water Supply
Before you begin, turn off the water supply so there will be no spurts or leaks. To do this, switch those valves to the right. Then, open the existing tap to drain residual water from the pipes.
Step 3: Removing the Old Tap/Faucet
Loosen the nuts holding the old tap by utilizing an adjustable or basin wrench. Remove all the mounting parts and the old tap from its position, and clean the mounting area where the new tap is to be placed. This eliminates any possibility of a worse seal and fit for the new fixture.
Step 4: Installing the New Bathroom Faucet
Attach the new faucet to the sink or countertop. Most modern faucets come with a rubber gasket or O-ring to seal the tap from any water leaking underneath. If your faucet seller hasn't supplied you with this product, you must apply a thin layer of silicone sealant around the base.
Step 5: Connect Water Supply Lines
Wrap the plumber's tape around the threads of the faucet's inlet connections to ensure a watertight seal. Connect the water supply lines to the faucet and hand-tighten the nuts with a wrench for an additional quarter turn.
Step 6: Check for Leaks
Turn on the water slowly to verify the connections. Open the tap while checking for leaks at the base and under the sink. Any dripping you find calls for the connections to be tightened until the dripping stops.
Step 7: Finishing Touches
After the installation is complete and leak-free, wipe off excess sealant from around the base of the faucet. Turn on the faucet to test for good functionality and constant water pressure.
