Generally speaking, you only need to replace the axial gasket or triangular gasket inside the faucet with gasket-like parts. has been solved. However, the main water tap in the house must be turned off before the renovation.
Regarding the repair of water leakage at the faucet joint, the cause of the water leakage is nothing more than damage to the water-stop tape on the faucet part (fixing screw). Therefore, just use a wrench to remove the faucet and re-roll the new water-stop tape where the screw is fixed. The following are the maintenance steps: First, tighten the faucet first, and use a wrench to turn the faucet counterclockwise. Turn to remove. Second, turn the threaded hole outwards, and roll the threaded part clockwise with wind-printed tape 5-6 times.
Check whether the faucet has been adjusted and bolted clockwise with the water bolt wrench. After the final installation, turn on the main switch and try to see if there is still water leakage.
Even if the faucet is fastened tightly, the reasons for still leaking:
1. The reason for the leakage of the water outlet: it is caused by the wear of the axial gasket in the faucet. Use pliers to loosen and remove the gland, use a clamp to remove the shaft gasket, and replace it with a new shaft gasket.
2. The cause of water leakage in the gap under the faucet bolt: it is caused by the wear of the triangular gasket in the gland. You can loosen the screw to remove the bolt head, then loosen and remove the gland, then take out the triangular gasket inside the gland and replace it with a new one.

Generally speaking, the correct use of the faucet means not to rotate the faucet too tightly, so that the rubber pad of the faucet can maintain a life span of 7 or 8 years. However, the hot water part of the faucet tends to reduce its life due to thermal expansion and contraction. Therefore, it is usually recommended that the hot and cold rubber pads should be replaced regularly at the same time.
