Handmade Sink Factory introduces Repair steps for Stainless Steel Faucets :

1. Shut off the valve of the water mains in the home. Before repairing a leaky faucet, we must first find the main valve of the water pipe in the home and close it to avoid waste and unnecessary damage caused by water spraying out during the repair process.

2. Prepare repair tools. To repair the faucet, we need to prepare screwdrivers, wrenches, clips, and pliers for the disassembly of the faucet and prepare waterproof tapes and shaft gaskets for the reinstallation of the faucet.

3. Find the cause of the leak. There are three common reasons for the failure of stainless steel faucets, and we need to take different repair methods according to different situations.

(1) There is always water flowing out of the water outlet of the faucet. This happens because the gasket under the gland has been used for a long time, which is prone to serious wear, resulting in poor sealing. It must be replaced. At this time, you can use a wrench or Use pliers to unscrew the gland of the faucet, clip out the damaged gasket with a tool, replace it with a new gasket, and then install the gland.

(2) There is water hanging at the nozzle of the faucet. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the nozzles of the faucet are tightened. If there is a loose nut, tighten it with a wrench or wrap it with waterproof tape. Pay attention to the use of waterproof tape. Follow the rotation direction of the thread at the interface and wrap it multiple times to make the tape tightly fit the threaded hole, so as to prevent the water from continuing to drip after the faucet is installed.

(3) Water leakage at the lower joint of the faucet bolt is mostly caused by the triangular pad used for sealing inside the faucet gland, which needs to be replaced. When repairing, use a screwdriver and a wrench to remove the bolt head of the faucet, and then remove the internal pressure. Take out the cover, you can see a triangular gasket, replace it and then install the faucet.
