Prepare installation tools and check whether the supporting parts are complete before installation. Common faucet parts include: hoses, rubber washers, showers, water drains, kidnappers, decorative caps, etc.
1. Installation of single-hole basin faucet
When purchasing a single-handle basin faucet, you should pay attention to the diameter of the outlet. Most of the water in the market is hard pipe, so you should pay attention to the height of the upper nozzle. It is most suitable to work 35 minutes from the basin. When installing, a special angle valve must be selected, and the angle valve must be fixed with the hot and cold water pipes from the wall. When you find that there is a distance between the angle valve and the water pipe on the faucet, buy a special extension pipe to connect it. Remember, you must not use other water pipes to connect, because if the water pressure is high, it is easy to fall off, leak water, and cause losses to you. If the inlet pipe is too long to exceed the outlet pipe, you can cut off the part according to your needs. If the angle is not suitable, you can bend it to the position you need. Remember: Do not bend hard to 90 degrees or more than 90 degrees. When installing the basin to drain water, please don’t forget to buy the small interface of the faucet (the faucet is shorted). Please don’t forget to flush the water pipe buried in the wall in advance before you install it.
2. Installation of shower and bathtub faucets (wall-mounted)
After you have purchased a shower, bathtub, or wall-mounted faucet, you can choose a suitable height to bury the water pipe. The distance between the hot and cold water pipes must reach 15 cm. Don’t forget to flush the water pipe before installation, so as not to cause damage to the faucet due to excessive water quality.
Concealed shower and bathtub faucets: After purchasing a concealed faucet, the spool of the faucet should generally be embedded in the wall. Be sure to pay attention to the thickness of the bathroom wall before embedding. If the wall is too thin, the spool cannot be pre-embedded. Do not remove the plastic protective cover of the spool when pre-embedding, so as not to damage the spool by cement and other chores during pre-embedding. In addition, when embedding the spool, you should also pay attention to the up and down, left and right directions of the spool, so as to prevent the spool from being buried wrongly. There is a deviation in the size of the wall-mounted faucet when the water inlet pipe is pre-embedded, and the adjustable crutches can be used to adjust the position.
3. Installation of thermostatic faucet
Before installing the thermostatic faucet, please check whether the water pipe is hot on the left and cold on the right. Remember not to connect the hot and cold water pipes incorrectly, so as not to prevent the faucet from working properly. Neither gas nor solar water heaters can use thermostatic faucets because the water pressure is too low. Please don’t forget to install the hot and cold water filter when installing the thermostatic faucet.
4. Installation of single hole kitchen faucet
It is required to be stable, because the kitchen faucet is used frequently, and it is easy to loosen when it is moved around, so the lock nut must be tightened. At present, there are some faucets on the market that are fixed by enlarged nuts for the coils. This kind of stabilization effect is very good. If it can solve the problem of draining and pulling, it will become a popular trend in the future.
