Installing a Bathroom Faucet | Introduction

A couple of tools you are going to need for this project are:

· Pipe Wrench

· Pillow(something soft to rest your back on)

· Vice Grips

· Big Screw Driver

· Water Bucket

There are actually two parts to installing a faucet which some people don’t realize until it is staring them in the face. Installing the actual faucet and we also have to install the new drain and flange shown here.

It doesn’t matter which part you tackle first, but personally I like to get the dirty work out of the way so I can enjoy the fun part later. So that is what we are going to do here. The professional way to remove this by using a Pipe Wrench to turn the bottom part of the drain, but most DIY’ers don’t need a pipe wrench on a daily basis. The Pipe Wrench can be easily substituted for a vice grip, which always comes in very handy for many projects. The Flange and drain are screwed together to create a firm grip around the actual porcelain sink. Grabbing a hold of the drain can be a little frustrating if you don’t know what your doing. Luckily you have me here to help.
