Step 1 · Prepare Work Area and Pipes

Begin by clearing all items from underneath the sink to ensure you have an unobstructed and safe workspace. If the hot water has been used recently, wait for the hot water supply line and P-trap to cool to room temperature to prevent burns. Using a cleaning cloth and a mild degreaser or all-purpose cleaner, thoroughly wipe down the P-trap, both hot and cold angle stops (shut-off valves), and the water supply lines. A clean, dry surface is essential for a secure fit of the shield components.
