The 360-degree free rotation feature provides unparalleled convenience, especially when cleaning large cookware and sinks. The following elaborates on the installation process and key points of this single-cold sink faucet in detail.
(I) Vorsichtsmaßnahmen vor der Installation des Produkts
Before starting the installation, the primary task is to ensure the safety of the domestic water supply system. It is essential to turn off the main water valve to eliminate the risk of water leakage during the installation process. Meanwhile, carefully check the items in the product package. Verify whether the faucet body, matching nuts, gaskets, inlet pipes, and other accessories are complete, and inspect the surface of the faucet for any scratches, coating peeling, or other defects. If there are missing accessories or quality issues, contact the supplier immediately for resolution. Additionally, accurately measure the diameter of the sink installation hole and compare it with the specifications of the faucet to ensure a proper fit, laying a solid foundation for a smooth installation.
(II) Erforderliche Installationswerkzeuge
To install this stainless steel matte black rotatable kitchen tap successfully, it is necessary to prepare the required tools in advance. Essential tools include an adjustable wrench for tightening and removing nuts, a Phillips or flathead screwdriver for disassembling and installing fixing components, and Teflon tape as a sealing material to effectively enhance the tightness of pipe joints and prevent water seepage. Additionally, prepare a soft cloth to clean components and wipe away water stains during the installation process.
(III) Vorbereitungsschritte vor der Installation
First, thoroughly clean the storage space under the sink, removing all sundries to ensure sufficient operating space. If there is an old faucet installed on the sink, it needs to be removed. During the disassembly process, if nuts are difficult to loosen due to rust from long-term use, apply an appropriate amount of rust remover. After it takes effect, carefully remove the nuts with a wrench. Once the old faucet is removed, use a damp cloth to clean the sink installation hole and its surrounding area, removing residual sealant, water stains, and dirt to ensure the installation surface is flat and clean.
(IV) Standard-Installationsverfahren
Pass the inlet pipe of the faucet through the installation hole from above the sink to the area below. Under the sink, put the gasket and nut on the inlet pipe in sequence. The gasket serves as a buffer and provides sealing, while the nut is used to fix the faucet. Use an adjustable wrench to gradually tighten the nut in a diagonal order, ensuring the faucet is firmly installed and remains level to avoid tilting. Next, connect the inlet pipe of the faucet to the cold water pipe at home. When connecting, wrap 5 – 8 turns of Teflon tape clockwise around the pipe joint to enhance the sealing effect. Then, align the inlet pipe with the cold water pipe and tighten the connection nut with a wrench to ensure a secure and firm connection without any looseness.
(V) Gebrauchsprüfung und Inspektion Eckpunkte
After the installation is completed, slowly open the main water valve and observe all connection parts of the faucet, including the inlet pipe joints and nut fixing points, for any signs of water seepage or dripping. At the same time, rotate the faucet multiple times to test its smoothness, checking for any jams or abnormal noises. Open the faucet switch to check whether the water flow is smooth and uniform. If water leakage is detected at the connection, turn off the water valve, retighten the nut, or increase the number of Teflon tape wraps. If the rotation is not flexible, apply a small amount of food-grade lubricating oil to the rotating shaft for lubrication.
(VI) Allgemeine Installationsprobleme und Lösungen
During the installation process, you may encounter situations where the nut cannot be tightened properly, resulting in water leakage. In this case, check whether the nut matches the thread of the inlet pipe and if there is any misalignment. If the thread is severely damaged, replace the nut with a new one promptly. If the water flow from the faucet is significantly low, it may be due to blockage inside the inlet pipe. Disconnect the inlet pipe from the cold water pipe and rinse it with clean water to remove internal impurities and scale, ensuring the water flow passage is unobstructed.
(VII) Sicherheitstipps und Wartungsempfehlungen
During the installation and use process, strictly adhere to safety regulations. Pay close attention when operating tools to prevent accidents such as scratches or bruises. In daily use, regularly clean and maintain the faucet. It is recommended to wipe the surface with a soft damp cloth and a neutral cleaner once a week to remove water stains and dirt. Avoid using abrasive tools like steel wool or acidic cleaners that may damage the coating. Additionally, inspect all connection parts of the faucet once a month to check for any looseness. If looseness is detected, tighten the parts in a timely manner to extend the service life of the faucet and ensure its continuous and stable operation.
The stainless steel matte black rotatable kitchen tap produced by Chinese faucet factories can bring efficiency and convenience to your kitchen life and create a comfortable cooking environment as long as you install and maintain it in strict accordance with the above standard procedures.
