What to prepare before you start? 🧰
Tools: adjustable wrench, 13–15mm spanner, screwdriver (Phillips), WD-40 spray for rusted nuts.
Materials: Teflon thread seal tape for pipe connections, old towels to absorb residual water, a small bowl to place under pipes.
Check before buying: Verify the new faucet fits your sink hole (Israeli standard 35mm diameter). Most Hamat faucets at ramo.co.il fit standard single-hole sinks. If your sink has multiple holes, a deck plate cover is available separately.
⚠️ Important before you start
Always close the shut-off valves (the small valves under the sink) — both hot and cold — before removing the old faucet. Open the old faucet to release residual pressure. If the shut-off valves are missing or won't close — shut off the main water supply to the apartment.
Step by step — How to install a pull-down kitchen faucet 👷
Close the shut-off valves — Open the cabinet under the sink and locate both shut-off valves (cold and hot). Turn them clockwise until fully closed. Open the old faucet to release remaining pressure.
Disconnect the flexible hoses — Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the nuts connecting the flexible supply hoses to the old faucet. Place a towel underneath — residual water will drip out. Take a photo of the connections before disconnecting.
Remove the old faucet — Loosen the large mounting nut holding the faucet to the sink (from below). Pull the old faucet up and out. Clean away old Teflon tape and sealant from the sink hole.
Insert the new Hamat faucet — Feed the flexible hoses and pull-down hose down through the sink hole. Place the rubber gasket (included in the kit) then the mounting plate and nut from underneath. Hand-tighten then wrench-tighten until the faucet is stable and does not rotate.
Connect the supply hoses — Wrap 2–3 turns of Teflon tape on the connection threads before attaching. Connect blue hose to right shut-off valve (cold) and red hose to left valve (hot). Hand-tighten then gently wrench-tighten — do not overtighten.
Check for leaks — Open the shut-off valves slowly. Check all connections for drips using tissue paper. Tighten any leaking connection slightly if needed.
Test the pull-down mechanism — Pull the sprayer head out and check that the internal hose runs freely. Confirm the magnetic retraction system works properly. Test both Stream and Spray modes.
💡 Pro tip
Before disconnecting the old hoses, take a photo of the connection layout (hot/cold) with your phone. This prevents confusion when reconnecting. If your Hamat faucet has 3 hoses (faucet + water filter connection), the third hose connects to a separate filter tap on the counter, not to the shut-off valves.
