Let’s take a look at the whole process of replacing the faucet in the bathroom basin.
1. Close the water inlet valve
Before replacing the basin faucet, Xiaobian will first close the water inlet valve. The intake valve is located under the counter top of the kitchen. However, according to Xiaobian understand, if the valve closed loosely or can not be closed with water operation, but in the installation of the new tap to use raw material with thread direction around 7-8 laps in advance prepared (around less easy water seepage), water pipe to prepare a large bucket to prevent waste; In addition, if you can’t close the valve, be sure to open the new faucet and other faucet shunt decompression ready.
Two, remove the basin faucet
The first step is to separate the water inlet pipe and hose with a wrench. The water inlet pipe in the bathroom is an open pipe, which can be shaken by hand. It is afraid to break off carelessly when it is dismantled. So when disassembling, Xiaobian especially careful, left hand hold the water pipe, right hand twist the wrench, easily separated the two.

Second, remove the faucet fastener so that the faucet can be removed from the basin. But that’s where things go wrong. The hose of the faucet has been used for a long time, so the hose has been embrittlement, and the fixed parts have been rusted, and the wrench can not be screwed off.
Separate the faucet and basin
The third step, due to the small space under the basin, it is difficult to operate. And the glass glue between the basin and the countertop has long since failed, so the basin can be easily removed from the countertop. After the basin is removed, the construction will be out of the way. Then use a saw to cut off the rusty parts that are difficult to remove, and the faucet is successfully removed.

Three, install the basin faucet
1. First, put the hose inside the faucet and connect it. Then connect the screw rod to the faucet interface, put the rubber ring on the faucet, and then extend the faucet into the basin, add the rubber pad and gasket. Finally, use a wrench to secure the screws.
Assemble and secure the faucet
2. Because the basin faucet is a hot and cold faucet, the internal water valve is three-way, and the water inlet is only one, so it can only connect a hose. The other hose has to be connected to the tap, but the other end has to be plugged. Xiaobian consulting hardware store owner, he recommended the use of silk plugging. In addition, as mentioned above, the hose of the faucet is only 50 cm, but the actual need is about 60 cm, so in the hardware store and selected a supporting 60 cm hose, wrapped around the raw material belt, connected.
