Plumbing Installation

No matter how many years you've lived in your home, there comes a time when you need to install a plumbing fixture. It could be something as simple as replacing your old faucets with fashionable vintage ones, or installing a new toilet that comes with modern water saving features. Whatever the plumbing installation, you are always best advised to entrust the task to a professional plumber. There are a few plumbing installation tasks that you can undertake yourself, like installing a new faucet. First, shut off the main water supply line, and disconnect the hot and cold water lines to the faucet. Remove your old bottom mounted faucet, from the top, and put the new faucet in its place. Place the washers and valves in the right order, and finish with the mounting nuts. Tighten with a wrench, and seal the base of the faucet with silicon caulking. To replace a top mounted faucet, you will have to get under the sink to unscrew the nuts that are located under. While installing a top mounted faucet, lay down silicon caulking before you place the new faucet into the opening.

Installing a faucet is one of the most simple plumbing installation jobs. You need simple tools like locking pliers, a slip joint, an adjustable wrench and some plumber's putty. Bottom mounted faucets are easy to remove and replace, but top mounted faucets are screwed in place by nuts that are positioned under the sink. Once you manage to remove the old faucet, place the new faucet in place (in case of a bottom mounted faucet), and then place the washers and nuts. Finally, tighten with a wrench, and use plumber's putty to seal the base of the faucet.
