It can not only control the size of the water flow, but also effectively save water resources. The faucet is used every day, and it may leak after a long time , Call a maintenance worker to repair, but the problem cannot be solved in time. If the water leakage is not very serious, we can do it ourselves and remove the faucet for inspection. You may ask, how to remove the faucet? Let me give you a brief introduction!
Introduction of faucet disassembly method
1. Preliminary tool preparation: 1 medium screwdriver with a flat mouth, 1 adjustable wrench with a relatively large opening, 1 household flashlight, and 1 new washer for the faucet.
2. Disassembly steps of the faucet
1. Close the water inlet valve and main switch of the faucet. Remove the small screw on the top or back of the faucet handle. Generally, there is a red and blue dot under the faucet handle. If you open it by hand, you will find a small hole.
2. Because the hole is relatively small, use a flashlight to observe whether the fixing screw inside is in the shape of a cross or a slot, and then choose the corresponding screwdriver to loosen it. There are some brands of faucet screws with inner square holes, which are more troublesome to disassemble. If there are no tools, other alternative tools should be borrowed, but be careful not to damage the screw port.
3. After loosening the screw, you can remove the handle and check other parts of the faucet. At this time, you will see a copper packing nut. Use a wrench to remove the packing nut. Be careful not to leave scratches on the metal. Then turn it clockwise to remove the spool of the faucet.
4. Remove the screw that fixes the washer, check the screw and the valve core, and replace it with a new one if damaged; observe whether the copper plane under the valve core is flat and whether there are fine sand particles, and if there are sand particles, remove them.
5. Generally speaking, the integrity of the faucet is very good, and it will not be easily damaged. If no obvious problem can be found after opening the faucet, it is enough to replace a gasket. After all the parts are installed, the handle is also installed in place, the water supply is turned on, and the water is checked for leaks.
