Home Improvement > Kitchen > How to Replace a Kitchen Faucet

Learn how to replace a kitchen faucet and install shut-off valves beneath the kitchen sink.

Add new shut-off valve assemblies to each of the severed copper pipes at the wall. Slip the valve over the end of the pipe and tighten the compression fittings using two wrenches. This method prevents the valve from spinning and twisting the soft copper pipe as the fitting is tightened. Compression fittings make a tight seal on the pipes and eliminate the need for using flux and solder or joint compound of any type to seal the joint.
