Do You Know How To Install Soap Dispenser Pump?

When you need to install a soap dispenser, either to replace a sprayer or to add some convenience and extra functionality, you don’t necessarily need to hire a professional person.  Installing a soap or lotion dispenser pump is one of do-it-yourself projects which with right tools, and a little handiness, can be completed easily and in pretty short time. From the start to the finish, you can probably finish the job in 30 minutes. Plus, this is a very inexpensive project, and the items that you need for the job are most likely found in your local hardware store, home improvement chain or even in your neighborhood supermarket. This article will review the steps necessary to install soap dispenser pumps.

If you sink already has a soap dispenser, you’ll need to remove it by going under the sink and removing the bottom part. You’ll need to scrape the ring resting on the hole that held the soap dispenser in position. Make sure to get rid of the entire sticky adhesive by cleaning the underside area well using a lightly abrasive household cleaner.

On the other hand, if you sink doesn’t have a soap dispenser, there may be a flat cap covering an empty hole next to the spigot. You can simply use a butter knife or screwdriver to pop this cap out of the hole.

The new pump should have a ring or flange which acts to hold it in place. Again, going under the sink, attach the new pump to the area where the now empty hole is and use the plumber’s putty to secure the ring mold to the pump. Make sure to wipe away the excess putty from the surrounding area once you have the ring in place.

Fill the container up with your choice of soap to about three-quarters of the way. Then thread the soap dispenser to the pump hose that should now be hanging under the sink. You should simply be able to screw the dispenser bottle and pump together. Once this is done, you should have a working soap dispenser attached to your sink.
