DIY Guide: How to Detach the Small End of a Faucet Hose

The faucet on the washbasin requires regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure smooth household operations. If the faucet malfunctions, it should be replaced promptly. So, how do you replace the washbasin faucet, and how can you purchase a high-quality faucet? Let’s take a look together.

How to Replace the Washbasin Faucet

1. Locate the shut-off valve under the washbasin and turn it off.

2. Remove the screws from the water pipe to separate the faucet from the water pipe.

3. Unscrew the rubber screws underneath the faucet and remove the faucet.

4. Install the new faucet and secure it with the rubber screws.

5. Turn on the shut-off valve under the washbasin to check if it works properly.

How to Purchase a High-Quality Faucet

1. When you go to buy a faucet, carefully observe its surface. The faucet is produced through multiple processing stages to achieve a shiny finish. You can lightly touch the surface; if it has no burrs, no air holes, and a good gloss, it is likely of good quality.

2. Pick up the faucet and gently turn the handle to see if it rotates smoothly without significant resistance. The faucet switch should not have large gaps and should not slip easily; otherwise, it will severely affect normal usage in the future.

3. Lightly tap the outer surface of the faucet and listen to the sound it makes, while also checking the faucet interface to see if it is made of copper material. If the sound is crisp, it is likely made of stainless steel, which generally indicates lower quality. Additionally, check whether all components of the faucet are tightly connected.

This concludes our discussion on how to replace the washbasin faucet and how to purchase a high-quality faucet. I hope everyone has understood. If there are any issues with the washbasin faucet, it should be replaced in a timely manner to ensure proper use in the future.
