Replacing Moen Kitchen Faucet With Spray

If your Moen kitchen faucet with spray is leaking, dripping, or not functioning properly, it may be time to replace it. Replacing a Moen kitchen faucet is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few hours.

Before you start, gather the following tools and materials:

New Moen kitchen faucet
Adjustable wrench
Pliers
Screwdriver
Plumber's putty
Teflon tape

Once you have gathered your tools and materials, follow these steps to replace your Moen kitchen faucet:

1. Turn off the water supply to the faucet. There should be two shut-off valves under the sink, one for the hot water and one for the cold water. Turn both valves clockwise to turn off the water.

2. Disconnect the water supply lines from the faucet. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the nuts that connect the water supply lines to the faucet. Be careful not to overtighten the nuts, as this can damage the water supply lines.

3. Remove the old faucet.
Most Moen faucets are held in place by a single nut that is located underneath the sink. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the nut and then remove the faucet.

4. Clean the sink surface where the new faucet will be installed.
Use a damp cloth to clean the sink surface where the new faucet will be installed. This will help to ensure a good seal between the faucet and the sink.

5. Apply plumber's putty to the base of the new faucet.
Roll a small amount of plumber's putty into a snake and then apply it to the base of the new faucet. This will help to seal the faucet to the sink.

6. Install the new faucet.
Insert the new faucet into the hole in the sink. Make sure that the plumber's putty is evenly distributed around the base of the faucet. Tighten the mounting nut underneath the sink until the faucet is secure.

7. Connect the water supply lines to the new faucet.
Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the nuts that connect the water supply lines to the new faucet. Be careful not to overtighten the nuts, as this can damage the water supply lines.

8. Turn on the water supply to the faucet.
Turn on both shut-off valves under the sink to turn on the water supply to the faucet. Check for leaks around the base of the faucet and the water supply lines.

9. If there are no leaks, your new Moen kitchen faucet is now installed and ready to use.
