Basin faucets, as the name suggests, are faucets used around the basin. Basin faucets can be seen everywhere in every household, but few people know about some of its related problems. How to install the basin faucet, how to maintain the basin faucet and other issues have made many users quite troubled. Today, I will let the editor introduce the relevant knowledge about the basin faucet. Please read it carefully.
1. The installation process of the basin faucet
1) Take out the faucet and check whether all the accessories are complete. Before installation, be sure to remove the dirt around the installation hole and in the water supply pipe to ensure that there is no impurity in the water inlet pipe. To protect the surface of the faucet from being scratched, it is recommended to wear gloves for installation.
2) Take out the rubber gasket, which is used to relieve the pressure of the metal surface of the faucet in contact with the ceramic basin, and protect the ceramic basin, then insert a water inlet pipe and tighten it.
3) Thread the threaded joint into the first water inlet hose, and then pass the water inlet end of the second water inlet hose through the threaded joint.
4) Screw the second water inlet hose into the water inlet port, pay attention to the correct direction and balance the force, and then tighten the threaded joint.
5) Insert the two water inlet hoses into the white rubber pad. Put on the jam nut to secure the faucet.
6) Then tighten the sleeve. Lock the two water inlet pipes and angle valve joints separately, and do not use pipe wrench to twist them hard to prevent deformation or even twisting. Pay attention to the connection of hot and cold water. Connect the other end of the water inlet pipe to the water outlet angle valve.
2. Maintenance method of basin faucet
1) When the air temperature is lower than zero, if you find that the handle of the faucet feels abnormal, you must scald the sanitary products with heat source water until the handle feels normal before using it, otherwise it will affect the service life of the faucet valve core.
2) Because the water is rich in trace amounts of carbonates, and it is easy to form scale after evaporation on the metal surface, which will corrode the surface of the faucet, which will affect the cleaning and service life of the faucet. Therefore, always use a soft cotton cloth or sponge with neutral soapy water to wipe the faucet surface, and then dry the surface with a soft cloth. Do not use wire balls or scouring pads with hard particles.
3) The phenomenon of dripping water will appear after the faucet is closed, which is caused by the shed water in the inner cavity after the faucet is closed, which is a normal phenomenon. If there is still water dripping for more than ten minutes for a long time, it is a water leak, indicating that the product has quality problems.
4) Do not use too much force to switch the faucet, just turn it gently. Even if it is a traditional faucet, it doesn’t take a lot of force to screw it down. In particular, do not support or use the handle as an armrest.
5) In the process of using the faucet, it is necessary to protect and clean the scale on the surface of the faucet and the water sand in the spout frequently, so as to protect the chrome plating layer on the surface of the faucet as bright as new. Do not wipe the faucet with rough towels and cloths to avoid scratching the chrome plating, and do not touch the faucet with acidic and alkaline items to prevent damage to its brightness.
After listening to the editor’s detailed introduction to the installation and maintenance of faucets, I believe everyone has understood and mastered the tricks of the method. Only by maintaining the basin faucet in the correct way can it prolong its service life and make the best use of it. However, the editor still wants to remind everyone here that when purchasing a basin faucet, you should choose the one that suits your basin, and don’t listen to the wrong guidance of some shopping guides, resulting in wasted money.
