Installing your kitchen faucet is easy to do, If you spend 2 minutes reading this article, I believe you may solve your installation within 10 minutes. Now we get to it.

If you are replacing the faucet in your existing sink, look underneath to see how many holes it has before you get the new tap. Usually, it can have from 1~4.

You can just add a cover plate, sprayer or soap dispenser on the other holes.

If you're also putting in a new sink, you can buy the sink and faucet that work together which could make things a bit easier.

Make a list of the things you'll need for the job.

Things like supply lines, tools, screwdriver, wrench, replacement spool, washer, etc.
