Faucets are ubiquitous in households and are essential in our daily lives. The maintenance of different types of faucets varies. Below is a summary of the maintenance methods for different types of faucets.
Regular maintenance
In the process of using the faucet, it is necessary to regularly maintain and clean the scale on the surface of the faucet, as well as the water sand inside the water outlet, to maintain the brightness of the chrome plating layer on the surface of the faucet as new (special cleaning solution for Gaoyi and special cleaning cloth). Do not use rough towels and cloth to wipe the faucet to prevent scratching the chrome layer, and do not touch the faucet with acidic or alkaline substances to prevent damage to its brightness.
Basin faucet
When placing a hand basin faucet on the purchase order, it is important to pay attention to the diameter of the water outlet. Nowadays, most products on the market, except for TOTO's washbasin, are classified as national standard products. Most of the faucets in Gaoyi's basin are designed for hard pipes, so you should pay attention to reserving the height of the upper water outlet. It is most suitable to work 35 minutes from the basin downwards. When installing, it is necessary to select a specialized angle valve for the altimeter, and the angle valve must be fixed to the cold and hot water pipes for the wall outlet. When you notice a gap between the angle valve and the faucet water pipe, go to your current purchasing store to purchase a dedicated extension pipe for the Gaoyi faucet to connect.
Remember, never use other water pipes to connect, as if the water pressure is high, it can easily fall and leak, causing loss. If the inlet pipe is too long and exceeds the outlet pipe, you can cut off some according to your needs. If the viewpoint is not suitable, you can moderately bend to the direction you need according to your needs. Remember: Don't talk too hard and twist to 90 degrees or more. When installing the basin to drain water, please do not forget to purchase the small interface of the faucet (faucet short circuit).
Thermostatic faucet
Before installing a constant temperature faucet, please check if the water pipe is hot on the left and cold on the right. Remember not to connect the hot and cold water pipes incorrectly to prevent the faucet from not working properly. Gas and solar water heaters cannot use thermostatic faucets due to low water pressure. Please do not forget the device's cold and hot water filter screen when installing the thermostatic faucet.
shower head
After installing the shower and bathtub faucet, don't forget the filter inside the shower pipe when installing a shower. When installing a showerhead, the water pressure must not be too high, usually 1-3 kilograms is optimal, and cannot exceed 5 kilograms. If the water pressure is too high, the water flow limiter inside the faucet valve core can also be opened to lower the water pressure, which can also achieve water-saving effect.
Shower and bathtub faucet (wall mounted)
After purchasing shower, bathtub, and wall mounted faucets, you can choose the appropriate height for burying the water pipe. The distance between the hot and cold water pipes must reach 15 working minutes. Before installing the device, you must not forget to flush the water pipe to prevent excessive water quality and damage to the faucet. If the elbow between the faucet and the wall joint is too long, you can cut off a bit of the 4-inch end. Remember: the 6-inch end that connects to the faucet should not be cut randomly.
Concealed shower and bathtub faucet
After purchasing concealed faucets, it is usually necessary to embed the valve core of the faucet in the wall. Before embedding, it is necessary to pay attention to the thickness of the bathroom wall. If the wall is too thin, the valve core will not be embedded. The plastic maintenance cover of the valve core should not be easily removed during pre embedding to prevent damage to the valve core caused by cement and other miscellaneous matters. In addition, when embedding the valve core, it is important to pay attention to the up, down, left, and right directions of the valve core to prevent it from being buried incorrectly.
