What does faucet installation need to pay attention to
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). Please don’t forget to flush the pipe buried in the wall before you install it.
2, shower, bathtub faucet (hanging on the wall) installation
When you buy the shower, bathtub, wall faucet, you can choose the appropriate height of the buried pipe. The space between hot and cold water pipes must be 15 centimeters. Before installation, you must not forget to flush the water pipe, lest the water quality is too strong, causing damage to the faucet.
3. Hidden shower and bathtub faucet
After buying a hidden faucet, the spool of the faucet is generally buried in the wall. Before embedding, we must pay attention to the thickness of the toilet wall. 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. When the size of the wall faucet is embedded in the water inlet pipe, it can be adjusted by using the adjustable abductor.
4. Installation of constant temperature faucet
Before installing the thermostatic faucet, please check whether the water pipe is hot on the left and cold on the right. Remember not to connect the hot and cold water pipes incorrectly, so as to avoid the normal operation of the faucet. Gas and solar water heaters cannot use thermostatic taps because the water pressure is too low. Please do not forget to install hot and cold water filter.
5. Installation of single hole kitchen faucet
It is required to be stable, because the kitchen faucet is used more frequently and is easily loosened when it is moved around, so the lock nut must be tightened. At present, there are some taps on the market for the screw to increase the nut fixed, this stability effect is very good, if you can solve the problem of water lifting, will be a popular trend in the future.
Faucet installation procedure
Before installing the faucet, prepare tools and accessories, such as wrenches, pliers, a new faucet, hose, rubber washers, etc. When ready, you can start the installation.
The first step is to turn off the main water sluice in your home. If you do not turn off the tap, you will be drowned. So turn off the water in your home. Then take out an adjustable wrench or pliers and turn the old or broken faucet in a counterclockwise direction. You will find that only your hose is left.

The third step is to use the raw material belt on the thread of the faucet in a clockwise direction to wrap several turns can effectively prevent the faucet from leaking.
