How to Install a Kitchen Faucet

[@christiannordby8900]

After watching 5 different videos, this is the best I could find to show the details of a faucet installation, especially the colored lines underneath!! thank you !!

That's great to hear and thank you!

Thanks for showing the O-ring gasket and base. I have watched some others and they didn't show it but instructions had it. It let me know my first faucet didn't come with all of the parts and the box was factory sealed. Just got back from a 100 mile round trip to exchange it for round 2 attempt. Thank you for sharing.

Sorry about your luck, hope this time it works out!

Thanks so much, I pretty much installed by myself. My Hubby has no patience :) I couldn't do this without you! You need to do more videos.

Thanks Sandy!! I will do my best to get more out there!

Welcome!

I can not thank you enough for doing this video. I am an intermediate-beginner plumber at best and would have never been able to install the faucet by just following the instructions that it comes with. My only complaint would be (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is you show installing the "plate" upside down. I caught the mistake soon enough so it wasn't really a big deal. But thank you so much again

Thanks! And yes the top plate for on the counter can sometimes look upside down, depending on the manufacturer. But the tell tale is how the small rubber gasket fits in. 👍

Hi thanks for the great video! Do you know if you need to apply sealant to the base of the faucet?

[@HandcraftedbyChrisPalmer]

Thanks, and it is recommended to apply clear silicone to prevent water spillage from going thru the hole. The faucet comes with a rubber base that does make this seal happen, but a little silicone can just increase the seal. 👍
