Step 1 · Prepare Workspace and Shut Off Water

Begin by completely clearing out the cabinet under the kitchen sink to create ample working space. Place a bucket directly underneath the faucet's water connections to catch any dripping water. Lay down several old towels to absorb any spills. Locate the two water shutoff valves, one for hot water (typically on the left) and one for cold (on the right). Turn the handles clockwise until they are fully closed. Once closed, turn on the old faucet handles to relieve any pressure in the lines and confirm that the water flow has stopped completely.
