Repair of ceramic head parts for 5 minutes
Hello Kulibins and diy. With you again Mikhailovich. Today will repair ceramic head parts, which suddenly started to leak and the tap water is constantly dripping.
Head parts medium price range is from about 3 to 6 months, after which it begins to break through and in need of repair. But nobody usually does not repair and go to the store to buy new for complete replacement. I am also a supporter of the economy and do not see the point in spending money on a new valve, when it is possible to repair the old one. This will be cheaper and faster than going to the market and purchase of new crane.
I confess, I used too, they just threw and changed with new ones. But then I found out that the problem lies in the little nonsense, and since then, more than three years, the new cranes are not buying.
And so, let's start. For repairs we need consumables, and in this case, copper washers, which can be found in any automotive store.
By the way, the store is one such washer may cost up to 10 rubles. But if you order a package of goals in any online store, it will cost you about 500 rubles. This package will be enough for a lifetime repair crane axle boxes and as a result you have to save large amounts of distance.
And so, we need goals with specific dimensions.
Their labeling M10h14, i.e. the inner diameter of washers 10 mm, an outer diameter of 14 mm and a thickness of 1 mm washers. Washers are not necessarily of copper, can be ordered from the same PTFE, they will be cheaper, but will last much less.
I will not tell you how to remove the head parts with a mixer because it is generally first class.
Consider faucet device axlebox.
As you can see the device as much as possible simple. Housing stock, pair of ceramic disks, fixing bracket and silicone O-ring.
Now we proceed to the dismantling of the crane-Books. The first thing we remove the red silicone rubber.
Then, take out the ceramic plate of the valve body.
Be sure to remember how they stood in relation to each other and to the body. I have met such uniques that are trying to repair the crane just could not gather it back, due to the fact that did not think how to put these back plates)) Yes, it happens.
Next we need to remove the snap ring from the stem.
Now take out the stem from the body, just squeezing his finger.
If finger squeeze does not work, then there is a bunch of accumulated sediment. Need a little whack on the back of the rod screwdriver or hammer, but without fanaticism, not to tear the sealing gum inside.
Incidentally, the stock has two elastic bands that do not allow water to flow through the stem.
If they are damaged or worn, the valve will not drip from the gander, as of a lamb on a mixer. Such gum can also be bought just in case.
Now we see Belenky ring of Teflon, so it is the hero of the occasion, as this material quickly wears out over time.
Because of its wear, fit the ceramic disks to each other is weakening and they start flowing waters.
The essence of the repair to replace the abraded ring of PTFE at a new ring of copper. But there is a caveat. Brass ring on the outer diameter slightly larger than the fluoroplastic, if you put it on a rod, the rod does not fit into the housing due to special projections inside the housing.
Take the brass ring and insert it into the body first.
In order to carry out a full service crane axle box and ensure its smooth operation for at least 1-2 years, it is possible to purchase a special lubricant for the seals washing machines. It is sold in syringes and washed with water, which prolongs the service life of the sealing rubber bands on the rod.
Apply grease under the gum and a little above.
Everything. Putting back the journal box crane. Insert the stem and fix it ring.
Then we put the ceramic discs and close the silicone rubber. Everything. Set the mixer tap journal box and enjoy. If everything is done according to the instructions, then a tap you will be not less than three years. At least I have three years after the cost of such repairs. Only I have them from time to time make out a little brush on the plaque.
This ends. Peace and all good! Zhmakat Like and subscribe.
