Installation of Tap Aerators

1. Remove the old aerator with a pliers or a wrench. Use cloth to protect the faucet neck from scratching.
2. Clean off the threads on the faucet neck with a cloth or a brush. You may need to use vinegar to dissolve and remove calcium deposits. The aerator may go inside or outside the faucet neck. It is threaded for both uses. Depending on whether it fits inside or outside the faucet you will use one or two washers.
3. Tighten by hand. Test and if aerator still leaks use a pliers or wrench and gently tighten.
