How Do You Remove a Faucet Spout?
To remove a faucet spout, you’ll need to first turn off the water supply for that sink. You can do this by turning off the shutoff valves under the sink.
Once the water is turned off, use adjustable pliers to loosen and remove any screws or nuts that are securing the spout in place.
If your faucet does not have any visible attachments, you may need to look underneath the sink for access points before attempting to remove it.
Once you’ve loosened any visible connections, grab hold of the faucet spout and pull straight out from the wall with steady pressure until it has been fully removed. Depending on how long it has been installed, there may be some resistance as you pull it away from the wall, so it’s important to be patient and gentle.
If you have difficulty removing the spout, use a sink wrench or a special faucet puller tool for added leverage.
Once the old spout has been removed, you can properly install your new one by simply reversing these steps.
You will want to ensure that all of the connections are firmly tightened before turning on the water supply again, as leaking faucets can cause extensive water damage over time.
With this information in mind, you should now be equipped with all of the knowledge necessary to remove and replace your own bathroom or kitchen faucet spouts!
