Installation of a widespread faucet is not much difficult if you are following all the steps and instructions. It may take some time because it involves the installation of three different parts separately. Have a look below and learn how to install the widespread faucet.

  • Grab the centerpiece which is called the spout of the faucet. Turn the spout upside down very carefully and then wrap a rope of plumber’s putty to its bottom area. After that, adjust the centerpiece on the center hole of your sink and then position it into its place.
  • Tight the nut which is located at the base of the spout from below. Hold the centerpiece straight from above and ask your assistance to keep it in the right position. After that, use your wrench so you can tighten the nut from below until your centerpiece is tight and not moving from its position when pressed.
  • Wrap plumber’s putty around the base part of every faucet handle valve. Now adjust the valves into the position of each side of the valve.
  • Tight the nuts that are holding those valves from below. Finish tightening them until you find them fully positioned to their place.
  • Now thread its T-connector onto the base area of the spout. Tight it with hands until they are fit and make sure one arm of the “T” is positioned in front of every valve.
  • After that, wrap the tape around the threads on the underside area of the faucet valves. Now screw on your faucet lines and make sure they run to each side of the T-connector. Fix them with tape and wrap them around the sides of the “T” as well as attach the faucet lines.
  • Wrap plumber’s tape on each end of the water valves. After that, run the water lines to every side of the valves. Do not forget to attach the water lines to the faucet’s valves.
  • Fit its handle escutcheons over the top areas of the valves from above hand tight them carefully, make sure you are using a screwdriver to tighten the handle into its place.
  • Put its handles over the top area of the valves as well as tighten the screws that are positioning them into their places. Set the decorative caps that are hiding the screws into their position on the top area of the faucet.
  • Turn on the water supply and check if it’s working.
