The faucet is very common and an essential part in our current family, because all the water we need comes out of the faucet. There are many types of faucets. When choosing, you should choose a faucet made of a material that will not pollute the water. Some are cold water taps and some are hot water faucets that have to withstand high temperatures, so you should be careful when choosing. Different places should be selected according to the actual situation. Let me introduce some different faucets and their corresponding installation methods to you.
Installation of single hole kitchen faucet
Due to the high frequency of use of the kitchen faucet, and it is easy to loosen when moving around, all requirements for stability are taken for granted, so the lock nut must be tightened. At present, there are a number of faucets in the building materials market that are screw tubes fixed by enlarged nuts, which have a super good stabilizing effect. The obvious effect will become the trend of a generation. The hot and cold water faucet can use its own adjusting valve core to make the water pressure of the hot and cold water reach the ideal state, so as to adjust and stabilize.
Installation of shower and bathtub faucets (wall-mounted)
After purchasing a shower, bathtub, or wall-mounted faucet, you can choose a suitable height to bury the water pipe. The distance between the hot and cold water pipes must reach 15 cm. Don’t forget to flush the water pipe before installation, so as not to cause damage to the faucet due to excessive water quality.
Concealed shower and bathtub faucets: After purchasing a concealed faucet, the spool of the faucet should generally be embedded in the wall. Be sure to pay attention to the thickness of the bathroom wall before embedding. If the wall is too thin, the spool cannot be pre-embedded. Do not remove the plastic protective cover of the spool when pre-embedding, so as not to damage the spool by cement and other chores during pre-embedding. In addition, when embedding the spool, you should also pay attention to the up and down, left and right directions of the spool, so as to prevent the spool from being buried wrongly. There is a deviation in the size of the wall-mounted faucet when the water inlet pipe is pre-embedded, and the adjustable crutches can be used to adjust the position.
Thermostatic faucet installation
Before installing the thermostatic faucet, please check whether the water pipe is hot on the left and cold on the right. Remember not to connect the hot and cold water pipes incorrectly, so as not to prevent the faucet from working properly. Neither gas nor solar water heaters can use thermostatic faucets because the water pressure is too low. Please don’t forget to install the hot and cold water filter when installing the thermostatic faucet.
Precautions for installation of hot and cold water faucets
(1) Do not install the hot and cold water supply pipes incorrectly. Generally, the hot water pipes are on the left side and the cold water pipes are on the right side;
(2) The distance between the hot water supply and the faucet can be shortened as much as possible, so that the hot water can be delivered to the faucet in the shortest time;
(3) Follow the prompts in the faucet manual, and do not miss or damage gaskets and other small accessories;
(4) If the water pressure difference between the hot and cold water is too much, you can use a utility knife to adjust the valve of the bracket.
The above is the relevant information compiled by the editor, for your reference only. Different faucets must be different in the installation process, so in fact, it is best to ask a professional master to install it when you cannot complete it yourself. This is the safest method after all, and it can also guarantee the quality of the installation. It will also be very long, and there will be no worries about using it.
