The L shaped kitchen faucet is the place where the tap water is received in the home, and the switch and the amount of water can be controlled as needed. But in the process of using it, we often encounter the wrong position of the L shaped kitchen faucet after using it. This will affect the appearance, and may even cause water leakage or poor water flow. So what should we do at this time?
The first thing to do is to see if the crooked L shaped kitchen faucet can be used normally. It would be best if it can be properly connected to water and used. We can also try to turn it clockwise with a wrench. If it cannot be turned, do not force it, it will damage the L shaped kitchen faucet. Or go back a little counterclockwise, but you need to observe whether there will be water leakage. If there is no water leakage, it is fine.
If none of the above methods work, just remove it and reinstall it. But the premise is that you must first turn off the water valve, and then open the L shaped kitchen faucet, do not rush to open the L shaped kitchen faucet. Then we have to prepare the raw tape and wrap it around the thread counterclockwise, as many turns as possible, about 20 turns are the best. After the raw tape is rolled up, re-install the L shaped kitchen faucet and turn it to the right direction.
This situation occurs when each thread does not match exactly, combined with improper operation. If you turn the handle of the L shaped kitchen faucet and there is no water leakage, the handle does not need to be turned too hard. If there is still water seepage, please wrap more raw tape. If the raw material tape can not solve the problem, the twine can be used. If not, wrap a few more turns of the normal wire before wrapping the stock tape.
What to pay attention to when choosing a L shaped kitchen faucet
1. Look at the surface first
The L shaped kitchen faucet body is made of brass and bronze. After polishing and forming, surface treatment such as chrome plating is carried out. Ordinary L shaped kitchen faucets have strict requirements on the main body and surface treatment process. After the neutral salt spray test, they should not rust within the corresponding time. Therefore, in the process of choosing a L shaped kitchen faucet, pay attention to its surface and observe whether there are obvious pores, erosion, spots, etc. There are many kinds of coatings on the surface of general L shaped kitchen faucets, such as: galvanized, titanium, spray paint, etc. Generally speaking, the thickness of the coating is better. The surface of the coating can be observed with the naked eye to see if it is shiny. The imported L shaped kitchen faucet has a thick coating, which is not easy to fall off and oxidize.
2. Gently turn the handle
See if it is light and flexible, and if there is obvious blockage and heaviness. Whether there is an obvious gap in the switch, it is generally considered that a non-slip L shaped kitchen faucet is better. For inferior L shaped kitchen faucets, the gap is large and the sense of blockage is large.
How to remove rust from L shaped kitchen faucet
1. Take a fresh-keeping bag, put a small half bag of white vinegar, then put it on the L shaped kitchen faucet, fix it with a rubber band, wait for a few minutes, you will find that the rust stains are dissolved by the acetic acid, rinse it with water, and the L shaped kitchen faucet will be as bright as new.
2. For those who have ketchup at home, just take out the ketchup and apply it to the rusty spots. It only takes 8 seconds to gently wipe with a rag, and the rust stains are swept away!
3. The acidity of lemon juice can also completely dissolve scale and rust stains. Uneaten lemon slices can be used to wipe down L shaped kitchen faucets and metal fixtures in the bathroom in just 5 minutes.
