How to install a faucet and reinstall garbage disposal for countertop replacement
What happens here
Locate the pull-down sprayer hose from the faucet. Push the hose firmly into the quick-connect fitting on the underside of the faucet, ensuring it clicks securely. Install the blue retaining clip into the quick-connect fitting to prevent accidental disconnection. Attach the sprayer hose weight to the hose, usually at a point that allows the sprayer to retract fully while still providing enough slack for use. The presenter advises positioning the weight so it doesn't interfere with other plumbing components. Before proceeding, ensure a bucket is placed under the drain area to catch any potential leaks. Slowly open the hot and cold angle stop valves to allow water to flow to the faucet. Turn on the faucet and let the water run for a few seconds to flush any debris, checking for leaks around the supply line connections and the faucet base. Turn off the faucet.
Goal: The faucet's pull-down sprayer hose is connected, its weight is installed, and the newly connected water lines are tested for leaks.
