Now the faucet inside the sanitary ware is a variety of points. It is often said that what the dragon head will not be, to find a master, this is not cost-effective. In fact, we can do a lot of installation work ourselves. The following Xiaobian will introduce how to install hot and cold taps.
First, how to install hot and cold taps
1. Installation of single-hole basin faucet
When buying a single handle basin faucet should pay attention to the diameter of the water mouth, now most of the market belongs to the hard tube water, so you should pay attention to the height of the water mouth reserved, from the basin down 35 points is the most appropriate. When installing, it is necessary to select a special Angle valve, and the Angle valve must be fixed with the hot and cold water pipe of the wall. When you find that there is a distance between the corner valve and the tap water pipe, buy a special extension pipe to connect. Remember, do not use other pipes to connect, because if the water pressure is high, it is easy to fall off, water leakage, cause you losses. If the inlet pipe is too long to exceed the outlet pipe, you can cut off part according to your needs, if the Angle is not appropriate, you can moderately bend to the position you need. Remember: Do not bend hard to 90 degrees or greater. When installing the basin to water, please don’t forget to buy the small interface of the faucet (faucet short).
2. Installation of constant temperature faucet
Before installing the thermostatic faucet, check which side of the water pipe is cold water and which side is hot water, especially the wrong connection of the hot and cold water pipes, so as not to affect the future work of the faucet. Gas and solar water heaters can not use thermostat tap, mainly because the water pressure is too low. Hot and cold water filters should also be installed.
3. Installation of single hole kitchen faucet
Due to the high frequency of use of kitchen faucet, in addition to move to move easily loose, all requirements of stability is taken for granted, so the lock nut must be tightened. At present, the building materials market has a number of leading screw to increase the nut fixed, super good stable effect. The obvious effect will become a generation trend.
4. Hidden shower and bathtub faucets
After buying a hidden faucet, the spool of the faucet is generally buried in the wall. The thickness of the toilet wall should be considered before embedding. If the wall is too thin, the spool will not be embedded. The plastic protective cover of the spool should not be removed easily when embedded to avoid damage to the spool by cement and other chores. In addition, when embedding the valve core, attention should also be paid to the upper and lower, left and right direction of the valve core, so as not to bury the wrong valve core.
Two, hot and cold faucet installation precautions
1. Do not install hot and cold water supply pipes incorrectly. Generally, hot water pipes are on the left side and cold water pipes are on the right side.
2. It can minimize the distance between the hot water supply and the faucet, so that the hot water can be transported to the faucet in the shortest time.
3. According to the instructions of the faucet to do, gaskets and other small accessories do not leak or damage.
4. If the water pressure difference between hot and cold water is too much, you can adjust the valve of the support with a tool knife.
