The faucet is an indispensable hardware equipment in modern home life. We come into contact with the faucet every day, so everyone should not be unfamiliar with the faucet. But what to do if the faucet is broken? How to deal with it? I don’t know if you have encountered a similar situation. Generally speaking, the faucet is broken in the water pipe, so below, let’s learn how to deal with the broken faucet!
1. Method 1: If the faucet is broken inside, then we must first close the main valve of the faucet to prevent tap water from spraying into the room. Then we can try to clamp the broken part inside with needle-nose pliers and twist it upside down to make it fall off, and then replace it with a new faucet. If the broken inside is relatively short, we need to replace the inner wire elbow in the water pipe and reinstall the angle valve or faucet.
2. Method 2: We can use a saw blade to cut out multiple gaps in the pipe in the wall, and then use something with a sharper head to pick out the broken faucet. We can also use a hacksaw to pull out a hole, and then use a flat-head screwdriver to reversely tap it to rotate it out. Or use a hacksaw to saw two opposite gaps in the pipe inside the wall, and then use a steel sheet with the same width and hardness to clamp the two gaps, screw the screw like a screwdriver, and then use pliers to remove the broken wire. take out.
3. Method 3: There is also a relatively simple method, we can go to the hardware store to buy a broken thread extractor, if not, you can buy one online. Then insert the broken thread extractor into the broken part of the threaded buckle, and rotate it counterclockwise, so that it will be easier to remove the broken screw. If it is relatively clogged, you can use a rust loosener in conjunction with it, so that the rotation will be smoother.
4. Method 4: We can also re-do tapping and make grinding tools, but this method is more troublesome, it takes more time and energy, and it costs more. In addition, if the pvc water pipe is used, the pure copper interface is used, or the aluminum alloy faucet is broken, we can use hydrochloric acid to corrode it.
The above are some simple suggestions on the problem of “what to do if the faucet is broken”. Here we mainly introduce some countermeasures for the broken faucet inside. If it is other situations, you’d better find a professional maintenance master. Hope this article is helpful to everyone!
