How to Safely Dismantle Your Kitchen Faucet: A DIY Approach

In our daily lives, we often install several spare faucets in our kitchens or bathrooms. So, how do we remove an old or rusty kitchen faucet? Today, I'll discuss this issue, hoping to provide some assistance. Interested friends can follow along to learn more.

1. How to Remove a Kitchen Faucet

First, take a look under the faucet to find the water supply pipe. Use a wrench to disconnect the water supply pipe. Remember to turn off the water valve first, and also disconnect the pipe that connects to the sink.

Next, gently rotate the faucet that needs to be replaced and pull it out. Then, place the new faucet in the hole on the sink.

After that, connect the pipe to the sink. Make sure it is aligned properly, and then wrap plumber's tape around the water supply pipe to prevent leaks.

Finally, connect the water supply pipe to the faucet, and you're all set.

2. Common Types of Faucets Available on the Market

Currently, there are several common types of faucets on the market, including plastic faucets, brass faucets, and aluminum alloy faucets. Generally, people often use aluminum alloy faucets because they are made of stainless steel and have a longer lifespan. Aluminum alloy faucets can be further categorized into binary alloy, ternary alloy, and multi-alloy faucets.

In addition, there are ceramic faucets and jade faucets. Ceramic faucets are made of ceramic and are considered very high-end, often used in homes with better conditions.

There are also jade faucets, which are made from materials like ivory jade, white marble, Afghanistan green jade, and corn yellow jade. This is a unique type of faucet innovated in China, and it comes at a very high price, which is typically not affordable for the average person.
