The solution to the leakage of the faucet: the faucet generally adopts the pressure faucet. Taking the pressure faucet as an example, this paper briefly introduces the maintenance method of the leaking kitchen faucet, which is divided into six steps
1. Close the water inlet valve, remove the small screw on or behind the faucet handle, and remove the handle fixed on the faucet body. One of the screws is hidden under a metal button, plastic button, or plastic plate that snaps or screws into the handle. Just turn on the button and you'll see the handle screw mounted on top. If necessary, loosen the screws with a penetrating lubricant
2. Remove the handle and inspect the faucet assembly. Remove the filler nut with a large caliper or adjustable wrench. Be careful not to leave scratches on the metal. When opening the faucet and unscrewing the spool or shaft, follow the direction of rotation
3. Rotate the valve core or valve shaft in the same direction. Remove the screws securing the washers. If necessary, loosen the screws with a penetrating lubricant. Check screws and spool. If there is any damage, please replace with a new one
4. Replace the old gasket with the same new gasket so the faucet won't drip. You should also note that the old washer is still flat, has a bevel, and is replaced by the same new washer. Gaskets designed for cold water only expand violently when hot water flows, blocking the outlet and slowing the development of hot water
5. Install the new gasket onto the spool, then install the parts into the new faucet. Turn the spool clockwise. With the spool in place, install the filler nut from the newly installed spool. Be careful not to use a wrench
6. Reinstall the handle, then replace the button to turn on the new water supply and check if there is still a leak.
