What you need for the installation
- Tres pull-out kitchen faucet (model used in the video: 23043801)
- Wrench
- Teflon tape
- Bucket or container for water residue
- Cloth or absorbent paper
Step-by-step installation
- Turn off the shut-off valves: Under the sink, close the cold and hot water valves. Open the old faucet to release pressure.
- Remove the old faucet: Use a wrench to disconnect the hoses and disassemble the mounting system underneath. Clean the area thoroughly before proceeding.
- Install the new Tres faucet: Insert the new Tres pull-out faucet into the sink hole. Secure it from below with the appropriate washer and nut.
- Connect the hoses: Screw the faucet hoses into the water supply. You can use Teflon tape for a better seal.
- Install the pull-out system: Attach the pull-out hose and place the counterweight in the correct position to allow smooth hose movement.
- Final test: Turn on the shut-off valves and check for leaks. Ensure everything works properly and test the hose extension and retraction.
Helpful installation tips
- Make sure the counterweight is not obstructed by other objects under the sink.
- If water pressure is low, check the faucet aerator before making other adjustments.
- Take this opportunity to check or replace shut-off valves if needed.
