Carefully place the new faucet into the mounting holes on the sink, pressing it down firmly onto the plumber's putty. From underneath, thread the plastic mounting nuts onto the faucet shanks and hand-tighten them. Use the basin wrench to give them a final tightening, securing the faucet firmly to the sink. Do not over-tighten.
