After removing the mixer, everything is cleaned, tidied up - order is put on the sink. After that, the installation process of the newly purchased mixer begins. This product is assembled as a complete set with hoses. The hoses are pushed into the mixer one at a time, since two will not pass at the same time. The faucet is neatly attached to the sink with: rubber gaskets, metal horseshoe plates, threaded studs and nuts.
Once the mixer is installed on the sink, the sink itself can be returned to its place and secured. It remains only to screw the hose nuts firmly to the water pipes, which is not so difficult. The shut-off valves open slowly and you can enjoy the results of your work.
