What are the steps to repair a tap?

Any brand of faucet can not guarantee that there will be no failure in use, but the brand of a good faucet is relatively better quality, but what if the faucet in use fails? Xiao Bian will introduce in details in the following introduction. Steps to repair the faucet.



Step 1: Repair the faucet: Close the inlet valve

Remove the small screw above or behind the faucet handle to remove the handle that is attached to the faucet body. Some screws are hidden under metal buttons, plastic buttons, or plastic tabs that snap into or screw into the handles. Just open the button and you will see the handle screw on the top. If necessary, use a penetrating oil such as WD-40 to loosen the screws.

Step 2: Repair the faucet and remove the handle to see the parts of the faucet

Remove the packing nut using a large-scale pliers or adjustable wrench, taking care not to leave scratches on the metal. Rotate the spool or shaft in the same direction that you turned it when you turned on the tap to unscrew them.

Step 3 of Repairing Faucet: Remove the Fixing Washer Screw

If necessary, use penetrating oil to loosen the screws. Check the screws and valve plugs and replace them if damaged.

Step 4: Replace the Old Washer

New washers that almost perfectly match the old ones will generally make the tap no longer dripping. You also notice whether the old washer is beveled or flat and replaced with the same new washer. Gaskets designed for cold water only expand rapidly when there is hot water passing through it, blocking the outlet and slowing the flow of hot water. Some washers work in both hot and cold water, but you have to make sure that the gasket you bought for replacement is exactly the same as the original one.

Step 5: Fix the new gasket to the valve plug

Rotate the valve clockwise. After the valve plug is in place, reinstall the packing nut. Be careful not to let the wrench scratch the metal.

Step 6: Repair the faucet and reinstall the handle and put the button or disc back

Re-open the water supply and check for leaks.
