How to Install Kitchen Sink Supply Lines onto Faucet Valves
Today we’re installing a kitchen sink in a rebuilt counter. We already have the sink secured with the braces and everything. The next step that we want to do is to actually install the sink supply lines onto the faucet valves. You want to loosen this one that we have on here, because at a later time, we’re going to replace the valve itself, when we turn off the water. So take that one off, and you’re going to have to have a rag to catch the dripping water in case you don’t have time to replace the faucet valve. You get the other one threaded on. You might twist the hose a little bit, and then you tighten it down and turn it until it’s about ¾ of the way past when you can’t turn it with your fingers anymore. Unless it’s a high pressure one, then you’re going to have to continuously turn it with the wrench. And that’s how you would connect the supply lines for a kitchen remodel.
