Treatment methods for different leaking parts of kitchen faucets- Zhejiang Unoo Sanitary Tech Co., Ltd.

The kitchen is an important part of our home life, and the faucet is indispensable in the kitchen. However, the kitchen faucet has been used for a long time, and the related components will inevitably age, which may lead to water leakage.

To deal with such problems, replacing the faucet is a way, but it is not a better choice, at least not in line with the principle of environmental protection. As a user, for the leakage of the kitchen faucet, different treatment methods should be adopted according to the different parts of the leakage. Let's take a look below.

Kitchen faucets are generally composed of the following parts: handle, valve core, packing, packing nut, gasket, valve parts, etc. A problem with one of these components can cause the faucet to leak.

1. Water leakage at the water outlet

The leaking of the kitchen faucet and the leakage of the water outlet is caused by the wear of the shaft gasket in the faucet.

Solution: Use pliers to loosen and remove the gland bolt, take out the shaft washer with a clip, and replace it with a new one.

2. Water leakage from the gap in the lower part of the faucet

Water leakage from the gap at the bottom of the faucet is caused by the wear of the triangular gasket in the gland.

Solution: loosen the screw to remove the bolt head, loosen the gland and remove it, then take out the triangular gasket inside the gland and replace it with a new one.

3. Water leakage at the joint of the pipe

Leakage at the joint of the nozzle is generally caused by a loose cap nut.

Solution: You can re-tighten the cap nut or replace it with a new U-shaped gasket.

In fact, sometimes the leakage of the kitchen faucet is not necessarily related to the faucet itself. Improper installation of the water supply hose and the faucet body will also cause water leakage from the faucet. Therefore, when checking the water leakage of the faucet, don't forget to look at the water supply hose. The water supply hose is aging , the problem caused by the explosion is more serious.
