Step 11 · Check for Leaks

Place a bucket and some dry paper towels under the sink. Slowly turn on the hot and cold water shutoff valves all the way. Carefully inspect every connection point for drips: the supply lines at the valves and faucet, and all drain pipe slip nuts. Turn on the faucet and let water run into both bowls, checking the drain connections and P-trap. Fill the sinks partway and then release the water to put a large volume through the drains, which is a good test for leaks. Plug in and run the garbage disposal with cold water running. If all connections are dry, the installation is complete.
