In many cases, you can install the bathroom faucet in a shorter time, rather than choosing one of the various fixtures available for the sink. Whether you install a single-hole bathroom faucet or a three-hole bathroom faucet, the basic installation process is similar. This guide will teach you how to install a bathroom faucet.

Note: If an old bathroom faucet has been installed before, be sure to remove any old caulking or sealant and any old gaskets that may exist before installation.

• Screw the mounting nut and mounting washer onto the valve assembly and apply a drop of plumber putty around the washer base.
