Flat faucetTick and click doesn't shut down, it always leaks. It's possible that the small rubber ring inside is broken. Would it be a big hassle to replace the faucet? If left behind, there is a possibility that the initial dripping water will turn into splashing water, and it will be too late to change again. Let's teach you how to do it yourself without turning off the faucet.

1. The gap at the junction of the faucet is leaking, which may be due to the touch area not being tightened. Try tightening the screws.

2. If the outlet of the faucet leaks, it is possible that the sealing tape is damaged. Use a pair of pliers to remove the faucet and roll a new waterproof tape in the place where the screws are fixed.

3、Flat faucet的密封圈壞了也會引起漏水,需求更換新的密封圈,用扳手把填密螺母擰下來。密封圈是一個“O”形的橡膠片,也有的是填密螺母下纏繞在閥芯上的細繩或許金屬線。假如是它壞了,取下來換一個新的,再把螺母擰緊即可,擰螺母之前在閥芯的螺紋和螺母上抹一點凡士林油更好。

4. Damaged shaft gaskets inside the faucet can also cause water leakage. Remove the pressure cover of the faucet, use a clamp to remove the worn shaft gasket, and replace it with a new one.

5. If the valve seat is broken, water will leak from the area where the faucet and countertop touch. Of course, you can choose to replace the entire faucet or just replace one valve seat. Removing the valve seat is simple, just use a wrench. If it cannot be removed, insert a suitable valve seat sleeve that can slide into the old valve seat and provide a seal. There are two types of valve seat rollers or grinders that can flatten worn valve seats. Remove the valve core before using a sander. Rotate clockwise with appropriate force a few times to clean the fallen metal shavings.
