How to Move Sink Plumbing From the Side Center

Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply

- Locate the shut-off valves for the hot and cold water lines to the sink. These valves are usually located beneath the sink or in a nearby utility closet.

- Turn the valves clockwise until they are completely closed.

Step 2: Drain the Sink

- Place a bucket under the sink to catch any water

- Open the faucet to let the sink drain completely.

Step 3: Disconnect the Water Lines

- Use a wrench to loosen and disconnect the hot and cold water lines from the faucet connections.

- Be prepared for some water to leak out when the lines are disconnected.

Step 4: Remove the Drain Pipe

- Disconnect the drain pipe from the sink. This may involve loosening the slip nut that holds the drain pipe in place.

- You can use a plumber's putty or Teflon tape to create a seal around the drain pipe if it is leaking and to prevent future leaks.

Step 5: Reconnect the Water Lines

- Move the faucet with its still attached water lines to its desired location.

-Reconnect the hot and cold water lines to the faucet connections. Tighten the connections with a wrench.

Step 6: Reconnect the Drain Pipe

- Reinstall the drain pipe and reconnect it to the sink. Tighten the slip nut to secure the drain pipe in place.

Step 7: Restore Water Supply

- Open the shut-off valves to restore the water supply.

- Check all connections for leaks and tighten them as needed.

Step 8: Test the Faucet

- Turn on the faucet and check for any leaks. If there are any leaks, tighten the connections until they stop.

Step 9: Clean Up

- Clean up any mess created during the project and dispose of any old parts or materials.
