Short answer: Faucet installation connects a new fixture to existing supply lines and the sink, and confirms there are no leaks once water pressure is restored.
Installing a new faucet is usually simpler than replacing one that's leaking, since there's no existing wear or corrosion to work around. The main considerations are matching the faucet's configuration to the sink's hole pattern and confirming the supply lines are in good condition.
This is a common project during a kitchen or bathroom remodel, or simply as a style upgrade.
