A faucet is a switch that controls the activity of tap water, and some faucets can even control and adjust the hot and cold water. Usually, faucets exist in kitchen spaces, bathroom spaces, and other occasions to meet people's basic living needs. The installation of faucets will be distinguished according to their different forms and functions. So how to install the hot and cold faucets? Is there a difference in installation between a regular faucet and a hot and cold faucet?



How to install hot and cold faucets? What is the difference between the installation method and a regular faucet?



1、 Installation method of ordinary faucet
Let's learn about the installation method of a regular basin faucet. When installing, we first need to take out the fixed base of the faucet and rotate the nut off the threaded pipe. After threading the stainless steel faucet accessories such as wrench, nut, threaded pipe, and silicone pad, we need to thread the equipped hose through the objects that need to be installed, such as sinks, basins, etc. At this point, it should be noted that the silicone pad pre threaded on the hose should be installed on both sides of the sink, basin, and other objects, and finally tightened to ensure that the base faucet is fixed more firmly. Then screw the small end of the hose connection into the water inlet of the faucet by hand until it cannot be turned, without the need for other tools. Afterwards, screw the nut tube onto the lower side of the faucet, and the silicone pad on the upper side of objects such as sinks and washbasins can be removed and placed under the faucet. Finally, fix the faucet with a nut and tighten the nut to complete the installation of the faucet.



2、 Installation method of cold and hot faucets
Cold and hot faucets are usually installed in places such as the kitchen sink or the washbasin in the bathroom, and the optimal water temperature is controlled by adjusting the inflow and outflow of cold and hot water. When installing a hot and cold water faucet, it is necessary to tidy up all its accessories and ensure that the use of imitation single matching is accurate. Taking the installation method of a horseshoe style hot and cold water faucet as an example, let's first introduce the detailed installation steps. The first step is to connect the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe to the corresponding water inlet of the cold and hot water faucet respectively. Then, after the connection is completed, thread the fixing column of the cold and hot water faucet into the two water inlet pipes to ensure the accuracy of the corresponding cold and hot water. After all these operations are completed, the assembled hot and cold faucets need to be installed on objects such as sinks and washbasins, and an inlet pipe needs to be placed at one opening of the washbasin. Finally, fix the horseshoe plate of the faucet and tighten the screw nut.



3、 Other precautions for installing faucets
Faucets are distinguished based on their installation location and function, including the installation of shower and bathtub faucets (wall mounted), concealed shower and bathtub faucets, thermostatic faucets, and single hole kitchen faucets. And these different types of faucets will have different controls, big or small, during installation, and need to be treated differently. In addition, the accessories of the faucet need to be ensured to be complete enough to prevent phenomena such as missing or leaking during installation.



Through the above cleaning and rectification of the installation methods of faucets, it can be seen that different types of faucets have different functions and forms, and therefore their installation methods also have significant differences. Hopefully, through the introduction, you can learn the accurate installation method of cold and hot faucets.
