Materials: basin wrench
crescent wrench
plumber’s putty
screwdriver Steps: 1. Drop supply lines into opening. The rubber washer goes between the faucet and counter to give a watertight seal. 2. Put the metal washer on underneath, and tighten the locknut with a basin wrench. Connect the cold and hot water supplies to the shut-offs. Before testing the water, remove the screen on the faucet. If there is any sediment in the line, it would clog the screen. 3. Roll a ball of plumber's putty into about a 1/4-inch rope and place it on the underside of the drain basket. Set the basket in the opening and the gasket and washer underneath, and tighten the pieces together. Resources: undermount sink, faucet
