How do I change a faucet? How to replace a faucet

All kinds of impurities in the pipeline should be completely removed during installation. Spool damage, jamming, clogging and leakage are prevented. At the same time, the surface should be cleaned so that no residue of building materials remains.

There is no need to use excessive force when opening and closing any kind of faucet product, just gently twist or toggle. Even a traditional faucet doesn't have to be wringed to death. In particular, do not use the handle as a handrail to support or use.

Products with a screen cover for the water outlet should be disassembled and rinsed after a period of use to remove impurities. Products equipped with hoses should be careful to keep the hose in a natural stretch at all times to avoid breaking. When buying a single-handle basin faucet, you should pay attention to the diameter of the water outlet, most of the water on the market belongs to the hard pipe inlet, so you should pay attention to the height of the reserved water inlet, 35 minutes down from the basin is the most suitable.

When installing, a special angle valve must be selected, and the angle valve must be fixed with the cold and hot water pipe of the wall outlet. When you notice a distance between the angle valve and the faucet water pipe, go and buy a special extension pipe to connect. Remember, be sure not to use other water pipes to connect, because if the water pressure is high, it can easily fall off and leak, causing you losses.

If the inlet pipe is too long and exceeds the outlet pipe, you can cut off the part according to your needs, and if the angle is not suitable, you can bend it moderately to the position you need as needed. Remember: don't bend hard to 90 degrees or more.

When installing the basin to drain the water, do not forget to buy a small connector (short to the faucet). Don't forget to rinse the water pipes buried in the wall before you install them.

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.

It first appeared in the 16th century, cast in bronze, and its main function was to control the water switch and the size of the water flow of the water pipe. The early faucets were spiral-lifted, and most of the faucets on the market were ceramic spools, and the spiral-lift type was basically eliminated.

According to the structure, it can be divided into several faucets such as single-link, double-link and triple-type. In addition, there are single and double handles. Single-connection can be connected to cold water pipe or hot water pipe; The duplex can be connected to two pipes at the same time, and is mostly used for bathroom basins and faucets for kitchen washing basins with hot water**; In addition to connecting two pipes of hot and cold water, the triple type can also be connected to the shower head, which is mainly used for the faucet of the bathtub.

A single-handle faucet can adjust the temperature of hot and cold water with a single handle, while a double-handle faucet needs to adjust the temperature of the water by adjusting the cold water pipe and hot water pipe separately. Turn off the water valve in your home, otherwise it will be difficult to replace the faucet. Turn on the faucet to release the water and pressure in the pipe (some pipes may have a lot of water, so as not to spray us with water when they are removed).

Then take a new faucet, and if there is a relatively large decorative plastic sheet, put it in from the back of the faucet first.

The vast majority of water and electricity supplies are in a clockwise direction when fastened. Fix the faucet with a wrench, and then push the decorative plastic sheet against the wall to cover the hole in the wall at the connector. After opening the main water valve, if you find that there is a leak in the connection between the faucet and the wall or basin, you can remove it again, wrap a few more circles of raw material tape, or see if the raw material belt is not tightly wound, if it is not well wound, you can tear off all the raw material tape and re-wrap it, and then tighten and fix the faucet to the wall.
