Plumber's Tape (used for showerhead and faucet aerator installation)
Small Towel
Old Toothbrush
1. Begin by unscrewing the old faucet aerator from the faucet by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Now, using an old toothbrush and small towel, thoroughly clean and dry the threaded area of the faucet.
3. Your aerator is universal and designed to work with both internal and external threads. If your faucet has internal threads, place the two washers that are included with your aerator, inside the aerator. Start with the thinner washer, followed by a thicker washer. If your faucet has external threads, use just the thinner washer.
4. Now, screw your new aerator by turning clockwise and hand tighten until snug. If you notice leaks after turning on the water, add plumber’s tape to the threads of the aerator.
