Through long-term use, the stainless steel faucet at home often presents a situation where the water flow does not stop even when the switch is tightened. We always seek repair technicians to repair it. Firstly, it cannot be solved immediately and requires waiting for repair personnel to come to our homes, which affects daily use. Secondly, sometimes the problem is not very serious, and the cost of on-site repair is not cost-effective. At this time, as long as we have suitable things, we can fully start repairing it ourselves, Let's take a look at common solutions to water leakage in stainless steel faucets.
Before repairing the leakage of the faucet, we first need to find the main valve of the water pipe in the house and close it to prevent water from spraying out during the repair process, resulting in waste and unnecessary damage.
To repair the faucet, we need to prepare a screwdriver, wrench, clip, and pliers for dismantling the faucet, as well as waterproof tape and axial gasket for reinstalling the faucet.
There are three common causes of stainless steel faucet malfunctions, and we need to adopt different repair methods based on different conditions.
One situation is that there is always water flowing out of the outlet of the faucet. This is because the gasket under the pressure cap is prone to severe wear and tear due to long-term use, resulting in poor sealing. It needs to be replaced. At this moment, you can use a wrench or pliers to loosen the pressure cap of the faucet, clamp out the damaged gasket with something, replace it with a new gasket, and then install the pressure cap.

There are two situations where there is water hanging at the receiving end of the faucet. At this moment, it is necessary to check whether the faucet has been tightened everywhere. If there are loose nuts, they can be tightened with a wrench or wrapped with waterproof tape. When using waterproof tape, it is important to repeatedly wrap it around the thread direction at the interface, so that the tape is tightly attached to the threaded hole, in order to prevent continuous water leakage after installing the faucet.

       

There are three situations where water leaks at the lower joint of the faucet plug, which are mostly caused by the triangular gasket used for sealing inside the faucet cap. Replacement is required. When repairing, a screwdriver and wrench are used to remove the faucet plug, and then the internal cap is removed to see a triangular sealing gasket. After replacing it, the faucet can be installed.
After learning the above repair knowledge, you may be interested in how to choose a high-quality faucet. Buying a good faucet can effectively reduce our future repair frequency.
When choosing, you can weigh it with your hand and feel the weight of the faucet. When making a good faucet, the raw materials are excellent and sufficient, and the weight is not too light. Secondly, pay more attention to the appearance of the faucet. The workmanship is fine, and the metal coating on the surface is smooth. Multiple angles of investigation can see that the reflection shadow lines are smooth. In addition to the weight and surface, the connection of the handle of a good faucet is finely crafted, rotates freely, and can feel a certain resistance, Instead of slipping.
Learning these purchasing tips and carefully selecting faucets can help us prevent frequent water leakage issues during future use due to quality issues.
