A faucet, a small faucet that is ubiquitous in life, often many people do not pay special attention to it, but its hidden dangers are also very large. Once a quality problem occurs, how much loss will it cause? Huaying: Lead is invisibly endangering our health. At the moment, we must not think about the harm brought by small faucets, and start to pay attention to the faucet. So how do you repair the faucet when it leaks? Prepare things: screwdriver, soaked and lubricated Oil, carp pliers or adjustable wrench and the pad to be replaced.

Faucet repair process:
1. Close the water inlet valve. Remove the small screws on or behind the faucet handle to remove the handle attached to the faucet body. Some screws are hidden under metal buttons, plastic buttons, or plastic tabs that snap or screw into the handle. You just flip the button open and you'll see the handle screw on top. If necessary, use some saturating oil like WD-40 to loosen the screws.

2. Remove the handle and check the parts of the faucet. Use large carp pliers or an adjustable wrench to remove the packing nut, being careful not to scratch the metal. Rotate the spool or shaft in the same direction you turn the faucet to unscrew them.

3. Remove the screws securing the washer. If necessary, use saturating oil to loosen the screws. Check screws and spool and replace with new ones if damaged. Gaskets designed only for cold water will expand violently when hot water flows and block the water outlet, making the hot water flow slower. Some gaskets will work in both hot and cold water, but you want to be sure that the gasket you buy for replacement is the same as the original.

4. Replace the old gasket with a completely identical new gasket. A new gasket that matches the old gasket almost exactly will usually keep the faucet from dripping. You will also notice if the old washer has a bevel or is flat, and replace it with the same new washer.

5. Fix the new gasket to the valve core, and then reassemble the parts in the faucet. Turn the spool clockwise. With the spool in place, reinstall the packing nut. Be careful not to scratch the metal with the wrench.

6. Reinstall the handle and put the button or disc back in. Turn on the water supply from the beginning to see if there is still a leak.
