Easy Steps to Take Apart Your Faucet Bend Pipe

The faucet at home can develop issues such as reduced water flow, leaks, and dirty water over time. Some minor problems can be resolved by replacing the valve core, while more significant issues may require replacing parts of the faucet, such as the faucet bend or switch. Today, I will discuss how to disassemble the faucet bend and how to handle a leaking faucet at home.

1. How to Disassemble the Faucet Bend

1. When replacing the faucet, first turn off the water supply valve. Then, use a large bucket to catch any water to prevent waste. If the valve cannot be turned off, open other faucets in the house along with the new faucet to relieve pressure and redirect water.

2. Disassemble the faucet, then use a wrench to separate the flexible hose from the water pipe. Remove the fixing components to separate the faucet from the sink, allowing you to lift it off.

3. When disassembling the faucet, you may need to use a saw to cut the connection if it’s too tight. Since the space under the sink is quite cramped, it might be challenging to work while squatting down, so removing the sink can make the process easier for the workers.

4. Use a saw to cut through the rusted portions that are difficult to remove, and the faucet can then be successfully taken off.

2. How to Solve a Leaking Faucet

1. Worn Washer: Find a cloth or towel to cover the faucet, then use pliers to unscrew the handle and remove any small screws to access the valve core. Use a wrench to take out the valve core, and replace it with a new washer.

2. Loose Nut: If water leaks from the connection at the faucet, it is likely due to a loose cover nut causing water to seep at the faucet's switch. Simply replacing the cover nut with a new one can resolve this issue.

3. Valve Core Leak: If the valve core is leaking, use pliers to unscrew the nut, remove the valve core, and replace it with a new one.

In summary: The above is a collection of methods for disassembling the faucet bend and some common tips for fixing faucet leaks. I hope this information will be helpful for everyone in their daily lives.
