Dripping tap or faucet. Repair for 30 minutes. Master OK

I welcome you to the channel, distinguished guests and regular readers.

The theme of today, more men - Repair dripping faucet or valve mixer. Since dripping quickly bored, he decided to urgently resolve. Immediately, I note that this is not an experiment, and work the way I have repeatedly brought to normal is not very expensive valves with ceramic head parts. More precisely, from the lower part, where there are ceramic inserts (insert). Well, of course, Chinese.

This "friend" served 1.5-2 years before the first intervention, after which passed approximately the same number, and that's - I do the second repair.

dismantle the crane

Yes, in this case, it crane instead mixer - only delivers cold water, but there are many gate mixers, during the flow of which can also act.

1. Overlapping water under the sink! Otkovyrivayu knife or screwdriver glued decorative cover on the rotary knob, by which it is screwed onto the screw. In different faucets screw sits at different depths. Sometimes to see it must be something to highlight. I've seen screw perfectly, though prirzhavel.

2. Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the screw (Photo 2a) and slowly take off the slotted head parts a little become attached handle, shaking her from side to side (Photo 2b). Though she and metal, but not a thick-walled, so do not hurry.

3. Now it is necessary to remove the head parts. Help wrench. Practicing one hand tap, the other without jerks okruchivaet (Photo 3a). The threads are very small, and therefore gets out quickly. And here it is - head parts with ceramic white inside (Photo 3b). Pottery I is not interested, it did not touch, but the red ringed seal is just that, with what will work.

4. I rented planted top red rubber ring and check its condition, especially from above. In general, it is a whole, simply for the years of service a little deformed and altered its size in thickness, and therefore there is no complete overlap of water. On photo 4a within the visible upper axlebox ceramic insert. Inside, do not touch anything, just rinse in water of the upper part and all.

To improve the axle-boxes do not find a thick rubber or silicone sealant to the 1/2 in. The rubber seems to be thinner, so he took it. If no seal, fit, and a piece of rubber of 2-3 mm thickness, from which it can be cut. Brand new seal is visible on picture 4b Right - it's black.

5. Since poldyuymovaya seal on the outer diameter more, I prune it with scissors so that it could enter into the axle box close (photo 5a). Special care is required, the main thing that happened the whole ring (photo 5b).

6. Now I insert a new ring in the journal box and presses it against the ceramic plate (Photo 6a), And then insert the top stand there red ring, and also I press. Even if a little red seal in place will not sit down because black (photo 6b), Do not worry, on the contrary, to operate the crane will be better.

Prior to installation, stalemated still need to clean himself inside the crane, and the threads so as not to leave visible particulates.

Still needed device. Only after twisting axle box it is desirable to check, how the handle, which opens water. If you move it too hard, I let go of the key bit of the upper part and then finally the fixing screw handle. All OK! It works as it should!
