How to install a faucet and reinstall garbage disposal for countertop replacement
What happens here
Working from underneath the sink, install the faucet's mounting bracket and tightening nut onto the threaded shaft extending from the faucet base. Use the specialized wrench provided with the faucet (or a basin wrench) to firmly tighten the nut, securing the faucet to the countertop. Ensure the faucet remains straight during tightening. Next, connect the pre-attached hot and cold supply lines from the faucet to the corresponding hot and cold angle stop valves on the wall. The presenter initially connects them incorrectly (hot to cold, cold to hot) but later corrects this mistake. Ensure each connection is hand-tightened first, then given a final snug tightening with a small adjustable wrench. Emphasize not to overtighten, as this can damage the connections. The presenter points out that Delta faucets often have color-coded connectors (red for hot, blue for cold) for easy identification.
Goal: Working under the sink, the faucet is securely fastened to the countertop and the hot and cold water supply lines are connected to the angle stops.
