Next, Ron connected the water supply lines, first to the faucet by again using the basin wrench, and then to the new shutoff valves. Then he placed the valve handles and trim on top of the valve body and screwed them in place.

| Ron dropped the pump housing for the liquid soap dispenser in place and secured it from the bottom with a retaining nut. The pump itself is designed to sit on top so it can be lifted out for refilling.

| With all the water supply lines connected, Ron only had to replace the drain.
Reinstalling this P trap was the last thing he needed to do before he could test for leaks.
If the drain fittings had been old or worn, he would have taken the opportunity to replace them, but these were in good shape so he just reattached them and then reconnected the dishwasher hose.

| Once all of the connections were made, Ron simply had to turn on the water to see if there were any leaks. He didn't see or hear anything, but just in case, Ron placed some paper towels on the bottom of the cabinet and waited a few minutes. If there are any dripping did occur, it would show up on the paper towels.
