Installing a kitchen sink drain may seem like a task that requires special knowledge, however, when you know the steps involved in such a project, it is actually a moderately easy undertaking. The following are a number of tips to installing kitchen sink drains. 1. Make sure the water is turned off before you start the project. Before you remove the old sink drain, you should place a towel on the surface underneath the ‘U’ shaped pipe along with a bucket to collect any water that spills when you remove the old pipe. Unscrew the nut that secures the sink basket to remove it. Remove the existing drain pipe that connects the drain to the under part of the sink by using a pipe wrench to loosen the nut. Turn the “u” wrong side up, (upside down,) to drain any excess water. Where the old pipe enters the central drain, unscrew it, and remove. This is normally the pipe coming through the back end of the sink.
