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.

explanation as i was doing it that the hot is usually on the left and the cold is on the right and i still did it wrong so it's okay you know what i'm only human just like everybody else [Music] i've never claimed to be the greatest plumber in the world i make mistakes i learn every day you know i'm just hard working and i'm just trying to fix things trying to help people out and so with that comes challenges but we're hooked back up it really is a a minute fix and we're back to testing okay so we're gonna use a watering can and i'm gonna have the homeowner turn the the water on and we're gonna flush the faucet out okay go ahead okay you can shut it off okay that's great perfect thank you so now we will install the retaining clip that hooks up the sprayer hose to the faucet and we'll also put on the weight that actually keeps that down so how you do that is you slip that on
