Step 1 · Preparation and Water Shutoff

Begin by clearing everything out from under the sink cabinet to give yourself ample working space. Place a bucket and some old rags or towels under the P-trap and water supply lines to catch any residual water that will spill during disconnection. Turn off the hot and cold water supply by turning the handles on the shutoff valves clockwise until they are fully closed. Once the valves are closed, turn on the old faucet to relieve any pressure in the lines and confirm that the water is completely off.
