2. Install the Faucet Base:
   • Insert the faucet's main body through the mounting hole in the sink or countertop.
   • From underneath the sink, place the rubber gasket, then the metal washer, and finally thread the mounting nut onto the faucet shank.
   • Tighten the mounting nut securely with a basin wrench, ensuring the faucet is aligned correctly.

3. Connect Water Supply Lines:
   • Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to your home's hot and cold water valves. The hoses are typically color-coded (red for hot, blue for cold) or marked.
   • Ensure all connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench to tighten them an additional quarter turn. Do not overtighten.

5. Test for Leaks:
