Step 4 · Install the New Faucet, Drain, and P-trap

This is the step most people slow down on. Take it one move at a time — there’s no rush, and you can rewind the clip as many times as you need.

Following the manufacturer’s instructions, install the new faucet. This typically involves applying plumber's putty to the faucet base, inserting it into the sink holes, and tightening the mounting nuts from below. Connect the water supply lines, install the new drain assembly (ensuring proper gasket placement), and finally install the P-trap, tightening slip nuts by hand.
