How to Install a Aqua Source Kitchen Faucet

Aqua Source kitchen faucets are a popular brand of faucet. They are the house brand for Lowe's home improvement stores. It can be difficult to find replacement parts for Aqua Source faucets, so replacement of the entire faucet may be the only option. Installing any of the Aqua Source kitchen faucets is accomplished in the same way as installing most other kitchen faucets.

Things You'll Need

• Basin wrench
• Adjustable wrench
• Dish soap
• Scouring pad

Instructions

1. Remove all the items from under the kitchen sink to give yourself plenty of work space. Turn the shut-off valves under the sink all the way to the right to shut off the flow of water to the faucet.

2. Unfasten the water supply hoses from the faucet stems using an adjustable wrench. Unfasten the faucet nuts under the sink basin using a basin wrench. The basin wrench is specially designed to fit up underneath the sink basin and makes the job much easier.

3. Pull the old faucet off the sink top and clean the area where it was located with a scouring pad and dish soap.

4. Place the new Aqua Source faucet so the faucet stems stick through the holes in the sink top. From underneath the sink, fasten the faucet stem nuts using the basin wrench. Screw the water supply hoses to the faucet stems, ensuring that the hot water hose is attached to the hot water stem and the cold hose to the cold stem.

5. Turn on the water supply and test the faucet.
