2. Remove the siphon tube, but be careful not to spill any water still in it. Better to put a bucket underneath.
3. Close the angle valve.
4. Disconnect the supply hose.
5. Disconnect the bottom of the sink faucet. Mostly these are nuts, rings and plates. However, this is different for each fitting.
6. Remove the connector.

1. Start with the angle valve. If they already have seals, you can screw them directly into the wall connector. Otherwise, you must seal the new valve yourself first. To do this, roughen the surface of the wire with a hacksaw, attach rosettes, and wrap the wire in hemp. Coat them with sealant.
2. Now take the water supply hoses that are often supplied and connect them to the angle valve and sink fittings. Hot water is usually on the left and cold water is on the right.
3. The fittings must be fastened from below. As mentioned, every kitchen faucet works differently, so be sure to refer to the instructions that come with it.
4. Reopen the siphon.
5. Check that all parts are fully tightened and sealed.
6. You are done! You can turn on the water and enjoy your new sink faucet.
