The decoration of the bathroom, if you don’t pay attention to the decoration of any small accessories, it will also cause a series of follow-up problems, such as water leakage and water storage. The installation of the faucet can be said to be difficult or easy, the key is to pay attention to the precautions when it is installed. The following provides you with a series of precautions when installing the faucet, hoping to help.
Precautions before installing the faucet
(1) Read the faucet installation manual carefully, and keep it for future use after installation.
(2) Be sure to flush the water supply pipeline thoroughly first to remove impurities in the pipeline.
(3) Before installation, check whether the water supply pipeline is damaged. Replace if necessary.
(4) In order to ensure the normal operation of the switcher, the minimum water supply pressure of the switcher should reach 0.5bar (0.05MPa).
(5) The maximum working pressure of the shower is 5 bar (0.5MPa). If the water pressure exceeds 5 bar (0.5MPa), a pressure reducing valve must be installed. The maximum operating temperature and ambient temperature are 60°C. Please pay special attention to stay away from the Yuba, otherwise it may damage the shower head and even cause harm to the user.
Precautions when installing the faucet
(1) Do not install the cold and hot water supply pipes backwards. Under normal circumstances, the left side facing the faucet is the hot water supply pipe, and the right side is the cold water supply pipe. Unless otherwise specified.
(2) After the installation is completed, remove the easy-to-block accessories such as the bubbler and the shower, let the water flow out, completely remove the impurities, and then put them back.
(3) When disassembling the water inlet hose, do not wrap the sealing tape, do not use a wrench, just tighten it by hand, otherwise the hose will be damaged.
(4) For wall-mounted faucets, determine the exposed length of the elbow according to the needs, otherwise the elbow will expose too much of the wall, which will affect the appearance.
(5) Install the faucet as much as possible before installing the basin, bidet, sink, and bathtub.
(6) For thermostatic faucets, the recommended static pressure of hot and cold water supply is 3 bar (0.3MPa), and the minimum water supply pressure is 0.5 bar (0.05MPa). The pressure difference between hot and cold water supply is not greater than 2 bar (0.2MPa). If the water supply pressure is greater than 5 bar (0.5MPa), please install a pressure reducing valve.
(7) For thermostatic faucets, the hot water supply temperature range is 50°C-80°C, and the recommended hot water supply temperature is 65°C.
(8) For the wall-mounted faucet, if it is necessary to perform heating welding, the valve core and other plastic and rubber parts must be removed first.
(9) For the in-wall faucet, please remove the protective cover at the right time (see instructions).
(10) For the wall-mounted faucet, in order to ensure the normal operation of the aspirator, the inner diameter of all connecting pipes and pipe fittings between the faucet body and the bathtub outlet should not be less than 12mm.
(11) Before installing the wall-mounted faucet, select the pipeline thread according to the valve body, water outlet and shower thread specifications indicated in the manual.
(12) In-wall faucets Determine the depth of the faucet buried in the wall according to the instructions.
(13) Before the wall-mounted faucet is buried in the wall, pressurize to test whether there is leakage at the connection part, and repair it as needed. Be careful to empty all the air in the pipeline and faucet during the pressure test.
