Step 1 · Prepare Work Area and Safety Precautions

Begin by completely clearing out the cabinet or open space beneath the sink to ensure you have unobstructed access to the plumbing. It's recommended to turn off the hot and cold water supply valves (angle stops) by turning their handles clockwise until they stop. This is a precautionary measure in case a pipe is accidentally jostled. Lay a drop cloth or an old towel on the floor of the cabinet to protect the surface and make cleanup easier. Unpack your ADA Under-Sink Shield Kit, laying out all the pieces. Carefully read the manufacturer's instructions, as they may contain specific details for your model. Finally, put on your safety glasses.
