Step 7 · Turn Water On and Test for Leaks

With the faucet fully reassembled, you can now test your work. Slowly turn both the hot and cold water shutoff valves counter-clockwise to restore the water supply. Check for any immediate leaks under the sink around the supply lines and valves. Then, turn the faucet handle on and move it around to test both hot and cold water flow. Carefully inspect for leaks around the base of the spout and from under the handle. If everything is dry, the repair is complete.
