How to deal with loose bottom of the faucet

The bottom of the faucet is likely to be loose because the faucet has been used for a long time, and the lower part of the gasket is aging or the connection thread is corroded, so the lower interface of the faucet should be replaced again or the new faucet should be replaced directly, and the specific disassembly and replacement steps are as follows:

1. First of all, close the hot and cold water valve under the wash basin for disassembly.

2. Use a movable wrench to remove the connecting screws between the hot and cold water pipes and the faucet.

3. Remove the two screws that fix the faucet.

4. Remove the rusted drain, and when buying the drain, ensure that the threads are consistent, otherwise the installation will not be possible.

5. Put the purchased nozzle at the installation position, and put a rubber pad on the two pipes respectively to make a waterproof seal.

6. Tighten the plastic screws under the faucet and connect the hot and cold water pipes.

7. Finally, the new installation is completed.

Method 1: Close the main water valve first, then put the faucet handle with a red and blue mark of about 8 mm, buckle it down, loosen the fixing screw counterclockwise with a flathead screwdriver, take off the handle, use a live wrench to disassemble the valve core of the faucet, use a wrench to open the upper part of the gland, and take out the ceramic valve core inside.

Method 2: Close the main water valve first, you can use a screwdriver to insert under the handle of the faucet, pry left and right, pry it on the side, take it slowly, and the force is even and stable, so that you can remove the valve core.

Replacement.

Faucet is a popular name for a water valve, which is used to control the size of the water flow and has the effect of saving water. The replacement speed of faucets is very fast, from the old-fashioned cast iron process to the electroplating knob type, and then to the stainless steel single-temperature single-control faucet, stainless steel dual-temperature double-control faucet, kitchen semi-automatic faucet. Nowadays, more and more consumers will consider the material, function, shape and other aspects of faucets.

History: Istanbul.

faucets first appeared in the 16th century, four or five hundred years before Beijing.

Before the advent of faucets, the walls of the water springs were inlaid with a kind of animal-headed, usually made of stone, with a few "flowing spouts" made of metal (I don't translate it well), and the water flowing from them was always a long stream of water without any control. In order to avoid wasting water and to solve the growing shortage of water resources, faucets were developed.

The original faucets were cast in bronze, and later switched to cheaper brass.

Some faucets are simply simple and functional, while others are very decorative. A variety of faucets of different shapes, such as snakes, dragon shapes, rams.

Head-shaped, geometric shapes or floral shapes, among others, reflect the architectural decoration style of the era.

The faucets of the court and other important buildings were mostly made of silver, silver alloy or bronze gilded and intricately carved. In the 18th and 19th centuries, faucets made for courts and mansions were so ornamental that they were relegated to their practical function to decoration, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were crafts.

There is a label above the faucet, you pick it open with a pin, you can see the screw, and you can tighten it with a Phillips knife.

There are generally two reasons for the looseness of the handle (handwheel): one is that the handle (handwheel) is not tightened due to negligence during assembly, and only the fastening screws need to be tightened. The second is that the handle (handwheel) material selection is poor, which mostly occurs in the premature oxidation and corrosion of the connection between the zinc alloy handle (handwheel) and the valve core, resulting in the increase of the gap, and there is generally no remedy.

Therefore, do not use products with zinc alloy handles (handwheels) as much as possible.

1. If the handle of the faucet is loose, use a small driver to lift the small round cover on the handle, and tighten the fastening screws inside with a special Allen wrench.

2. If the faucet holder is loose, tighten the fixing screw from under the sink on the countertop.

3. If the faucet is loose, it may be a little slippery. It is recommended to use a very small rubber sheet or shaft gasket, cut into a small circle, dig a small hole in the middle, and then put it under the nut, and tighten it with a plate wrench, and you can tighten the loose faucet. When you use it in daily life, you also need to take good care of it.

Take two wrenches, one to fix and one to clamp and twist hard.

1. It may be that it has aged for a long time, so buy another one. Try it without adding a waterproof paper bag, this can prevent slipping.

2. It may be a little slippery, it is recommended that you make a small rubber sheet, cut it into a small circle, dig a small hole in the middle, and then clean it under the nut, it should be OK.

3. Disassemble the faucet body and add a gasket at the connecting hole between the faucet body and the sink basin.

4. Go to the hardware store to buy some raw material with a large valve unloader faucet (if you don't have a wrench, remember to ask the hardware store owner to borrow it before handing), wrap the raw meal belt on the thread of a circle (remember to dry it), and then turn it up and open the big valve again.

5. There is a hexagonal nut at the bottom of the faucet, you can take a relatively large activity wrench to tighten it directly, or you can change to a quick plastic holder to try, plumbing equipment stores are available, and online shopping is also available.

6. Reach in from under the basin and find a relatively large nut under the faucet, which can be tightened by hand.
