Treatment steps for water leakage from the suction faucet
Steps for handling water leakage from faucets
Step 1: Close the inlet valve. Remove the small screws on or behind the faucet handle to remove the handle fixed to the faucet body. Some screws are hidden under metal buttons, plastic buttons, or plastic sheets that snap or screw into the handle. Just flip the button open and you will see the handle screw installed at the top. If necessary, use some penetrating lubricating oil similar to WD-40 standard to loosen the screws.
Step 2: Remove the handle and inspect the components of the faucet. Use a large carp pliers or adjustable wrench to remove the packing nut, taking care not to leave scratches on the metal. Rotate the valve core or shaft in the same direction as when you opened the faucet to unscrew them.
Step 3: Remove the screws that secure the washers. If necessary, use penetrating lubricating oil to loosen the screws. Check the screws and valve core, and replace them with new ones if there is any damage.
Step 4: Replace the old washer with an identical new one. The new gasket that matches the old gasket can generally prevent the faucet from dripping. You should also note that the old gasket has a sloping surface and is still flat, and it should be replaced with the same new gasket. Washers designed for cold water only will expand violently and block the outlet when hot water flows through them, causing the flow of hot water to slow down. Some gaskets can work in both hot and cold water, but you need to make sure that the gasket you purchased for replacement is exactly the same as the original one.
Step 5: Fix the new gasket onto the valve core, and then install the various components in the faucet from the beginning. Rotate the valve core clockwise. After the valve core is in place, install the packing nut from the top. Be careful not to leave scratches on the metal with the wrench.
Step 6: Install the handle from the beginning and replace the button or disc. Open the water supply from the beginning and check if there is any leakage.
