Prepare the Valve:

Recommended Tools: Channel Lock or Adjustable Pliers, Bucket

Before any repair can begin you will need to empty your faucet system of water: From underneath the deck, turn off the hot and cold water supply shut-off valves.

From above the deck, turn both faucet levers to the open position allowing the water to drain out. Close the lever handles to the off position and proceed.

To catch any water in the lower lines place a bucket under the supply lines to collect any residual water located in the hose.
Use channel locks or adjustable pliers to remove the house's water supply line from the brass valve body.
