Step 11 · Turn Water On and Test

With the faucet fully reassembled and the handle in the 'off' position, slowly turn the hot and cold water shut-off valves under the sink counter-clockwise to restore the water supply. Open them fully. Now, check for leaks around the base of the faucet handle and from the spout. Turn the faucet handle on, moving it from hot to cold to test its function and flush out any air in the lines. If there are no drips from the spout when it's off and no leaks around the handle, the repair is complete.
