The job
An island sink got a new stainless pull-down faucet and, next to it, a separate tap for filtered drinking water.
Typical steps for this job
The photos show the start and the finish; these are the usual steps in between:
- The old fixtures were disconnected under the island.
- The pull-down faucet was mounted and connected to the supply lines.
- The filtered-water tap went in the second hole next to it.
- Both were tested for flow and leaks.
A filtered-water tap needs its own line from the filter under the sink, which is why it sits apart from the main faucet. Before a swap like this, the shut-off valves under the sink are tested; old valves that do not close fully are the most common surprise.
