|
Tools needed: 2mm Allen key, Needle Nose Pliers, and Adjustable Crescent Wrench. Shut water supply to the faucet off: Important: Turn off the water supply at the faucet before starting. You can either turn off the main supply to the house or close the shut-off valves if the faucet is equipped with them. Then open the faucet again to empty it of residual water. Failure to do so could result in flooding or injury. |
