Which Side Is On? A Guide to Understanding Your Faucet

Which side of the faucet is off and which side is on? What are the correct maintenance methods for faucets? As a non-professional, you may not be very familiar with this. But don’t worry, let me give you a brief introduction.

Which side of the faucet is off and which side is on?

Except for special requirements, turning the faucet counterclockwise (to the right) is off, while turning it clockwise (to the left) is on. Most faucets follow this rule. If users lack experience, it is recommended to ask the salesperson when purchasing or to carefully read the product manual before use.

Correct maintenance methods for faucets:

1. Have professionals install it.

First, before installing the faucet, you must find an experienced and qualified technician to conduct the installation. Of course, remember to clean any debris from the pipes before installation. During installation, try not to let the faucet come into contact with hard objects, and avoid leaving cement, glue, or other residues on the surface of the faucet, as this can damage its plating.

2. Avoid turning the faucet off with force.

Many people have the habit of tightening the faucet excessively after use. This practice is actually incorrect. Even if you have an older faucet, there is no need to twist it tightly; doing so will not prevent leaks and can damage the seals, leading to issues with the faucet's ability to close properly. The correct approach is to simply turn it gently to close.

3. Good habits keep the faucet looking new.

You should develop the habit of rinsing the faucet with water and wiping it down with a towel after use. If the surface is covered in dirt, it not only affects the lifespan of the faucet but also its aesthetics.

In conclusion, having read the above introduction, you should now have a better understanding of which side of the faucet is off and which side is on. If you would like to know more related information, please continue to follow our website, as we will present more exciting content in the future.
