Installing a new faucet
I briefly thought about titling this post “How a broken spray nozzle turned into a $100+ repair,” but went for something a little less verbose instead. Hence, “installing a new faucet” - the latest how-to series on Fix It Up.
It all started when I was doing dishes one evening. I was reaching for the spray nozzle when the handle popped off. So my wife and I made the executive decision to scrap the faucet and just install a new one. We had our reasons, but the main one was that it felt really cheap - it was constructed with some fake chrome plasticky substance (probably a “space-age” polymer or something - I don’t know).
At any rate, we scoped out a few deals on Pricegrabber and eventually settled on a Peerless faucet.
The posts in this series will deal with the following:
- Removal of the old faucet
- Preparing the surface area for the installation
- Installing the faucet
- Securing the water lines
- Finishing touches
Enjoy!
