American Standard Kitchen Faucet Parts Assembly

There are a few things you will need for the assembly. Get a flat head and a Philips head screwdriver. Then you also need an adjustable wrench as well as a pipe wrench. A bucket, some old towels, a flashlight, a tape measure some plumber’s putty or caulking are also optionally needed, but not essential.

• Turn the water supply off to start. You want to check the seal and make sure it is seating right in the spout base recess.
• All the hoses and shank shall go through the mounting ring and mounting surface. No need to use any putty for this step by the way.
• Next, you need to feed the hoses through washers and locknuts. You want those to go through the rubber washer and brass washer. Also, the threaded locknut onto the sink underside shank. Or basically the mounting surface.
• The locknut should be tight enough. And use the screwdrivers for the screws located close to the locknut. Make sure there’s even pressure so that there’s no negative impact on the Moen kitchen faucet.
• Then you need to connect the flexible supply hose to the wall supplies. This has to be done serially. First, connect the blue nylon braided supply hose with the hot side of the wall supply. And then for the cold side, you need to connect the red nylon braided supply hose.
• Tighten the connections using an adjustable wrench. Make sure there’s no chance of overtightening.
• And lastly, you need to push the spray hose end. So that it goes into the hose connector. It should snap in place, keep sliding down the locking collar for that. The hand spray should be seating in the spout. Then fix the weight and use a screwdriver to secure it in place.
• Now all you need to do is turn the water supply on and enjoy your new Moen kitchen faucet.
