In daily life, sometimes it is found that the water from the faucet still drips after tightening, and it drips continuously from the faucet outlet or joint, not only causing a lot of waste, but also causing certain troubles due to its noise. In fact, the structure of the faucet is very simple, and the repair of water leakage can be done by oneself. Generally speaking, the problem of water leakage can be solved by replacing the sealing gasket such as the axial gasket or triangular sealing gasket inside the faucet. However, before proceeding with the renovation, the main switch of the faucet at home needs to be turned off.

Regarding the repair of water leakage at the faucet joint, the reason for the leakage is nothing more than the damage to the sealing tape of the faucet (fixing screw). Therefore, as long as the faucet is removed with a plate clamp, a new waterproof tape can be rolled from the head at the place where the screw is fixed. The following is the repair process: Firstly, tighten the faucet and use a plate clamp to rotate the faucet counterclockwise to remove it. 2、 Turn the threaded hole outward and wrap it 5-6 times clockwise with wind printed tape on the threaded part.

Check if the faucet has been properly adjusted and threaded in clockwise with a water bolt pliers. After installation, turn on the main switch and try to confirm if there is still water leakage.

Even if the faucet is tightened, the reason for water leakage is:

1. Reason for water leakage at the water outlet: It is caused by the wear of the shaft gasket inside the faucet. Use pliers to loosen and remove the gland bolt, remove the shaft gasket with a clamp, and replace it with a new shaft gasket.

2. Reason for water leakage in the lower gap of the faucet bolt: It is caused by the wear of the triangular sealing gasket inside the gland. You can loosen the screw and remove the bolt head, then loosen the gland and remove it. Then, take out the triangular seal on the inner side of the gland and replace it with a new one.

3. Leakage at the joint of the connecting pipe: Basically, the cap nut is loose. At this point, you can tighten the cap nut from the beginning or replace it with a new U-shaped sealing gasket.

If there is a decrease in water flow in the faucet, it may be a leakage situation because the sealing disk of the single gun faucet is stuck with sand and gravel. This phenomenon is still resolved by seeking a repairman to disassemble the faucet and clean it, but if the rubber pad is damaged, it must be replaced. Generally speaking, the correct use of a faucet refers to not rotating the faucet too tightly. The soy sauce faucet rubber pad can maintain a lifespan of 7 to 8 years. However, for the hot water faucet, it is often recommended to replace the rubber pads at both ends of the faucet at the same time, as they can easily reduce its lifespan due to thermal expansion and contraction.
