First, how to do if the shower faucet leaks

1. Close the water inlet valve. Small screws on the top or back of the faucet remove the handle, fixing the handle under the faucet body. Some screws are hidden in the bottom of the metal buttons, or plastic film plastic buttons, and these buttons or plastic clips feed into or screw into the handles. Just open the button and you will see the mounting top handle screw. If necessary, use some penetrating oil to loosen screws such as WD-40 specifications.

2. Remove the handle and check the faucet assembly. Remove the liner nut with a large carp pliers or wrench, being careful not to scratch the metal. You turn on the spool of the faucet or put it down in the same direction of rotation as the spool.

3. Remove the fixing washer screws. If necessary, use oil to loosen screws. Check the screw and spool for new replacement damage.

4, the use of new gaskets instead of screws. New washers that almost exactly match the new washers will generally keep the faucet from falling. You must note that the old gasket has a bevel or plane and replace it with the same new gasket. Only cold water and hot water flowing through the gasket design will block the rapidly expanding water outlet, and the hot water flow rate will slow down. Some washers can work in hot and cold water, but you want to make sure it is exactly the same as the original washers.

5, the new washer is fixed on the spool, and the various components of the faucet are reinstalled. Turn the spool clockwise. Spool position. After the spool is in place, reinstall the packing nut. Be careful not to let the wrench leave scratches on the metal.

6. Reinstall the handle push button or tray. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.

4, the temperature is not easy to adjust and the water temperature often changes

Possible causes: The pressure difference between hot and cold water is too large, or the water heater raises the water temperature for too long.

Solution: Turn down the hot and cold triangle valve to balance the pressure and ensure that the water temperature of the water heater can keep up with the water speed.

It can be seen that the water leakage in the shower faucet needs to be investigated for the cause, and then eliminated for the cause, such as fixing the new washer on the spool, and reinstalling the various components of the faucet.
