Some single-handle faucets come without a base plate.
- Install the faucet in the center hole by squeezing the supply tubes together and inserting them through the hole. Screw on the retaining nut from underneath the sink and tighten with the basin wrench.
- Connect the faucet supply tubes to the angle stops, which are the shut-off valves with flexible supply hoses under the sink. Tighten the hose connections to the faucet and the angle stops, using the adjustable wrench.
- Unscrew the retaining bar or wing nuts from a pair of sink hole covers. Place one cover on each hole, then tighten the bar or nut from underneath the sink to hold the cover in place.
- Install a soap dispenser in one of the holes as an alternative to covering it. Unscrew the reservoir and fill it with liquid soap. Set the plunger in the hole and screw on the reservoir from underneath the sink.
