The kitchen sink tap gold, vervaardigd door Chinese kranenfabrieken, is made of high-quality metal materials. After precision coating treatment, it presents an elegant golden luster, adding a touch of light luxury to the kitchen space. This tap features excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for various kitchen environments, and its simple and modern design perfectly matches high-end kitchen decoration styles.

(I) Notes before product installation
Before installing the kitchen sink tap gold, confirm that the sink hole size matches the tap base size to avoid installation difficulties due to dimensional deviations. Check if the water pressure of the supply pipeline is within the normal range (usually 0.1-0.5MPa is recommended), as abnormal water pressure may affect the water outlet effect. It is also advisable to read the attached installation guide in advance; for any questions, contact the technical support team of Chinese faucet factories directly.
(II) Required installation tools
The following tools are needed: adjustable wrench (or pipe wrench), Phillips screwdriver, food-grade PTFE tape, neutral sealant, and level. The wrench is used to tighten pipe connections, the screwdriver helps fix the tap base, PTFE tape wraps around threaded joints to enhance sealing, sealant fills gaps between the tap and sink, and the level ensures the tap is installed straight.
(III) Preparation steps before installation
First, turn off the main kitchen water valve and drain residual water in the pipes. Clean oil stains and debris around the sink installation hole, and wipe the tap surface and accessories with a soft cloth to avoid scratching the coating during installation. Then check if all tap accessories (including fixing nuts, inlet pipes, gaskets, etc.) are complete; if any parts are missing or damaged, contact Chinese faucet factories for replacement. Finally, wrap PTFE tape 5-8 times clockwise along the threads, maintaining moderate tension to fully cover the threads.
(IV) Standard installation process
Step 1: Pass the tap body through the sink installation hole, put on the rubber gasket and metal fixing parts from below, and slowly tighten the fixing nut with a wrench until the tap is stable without shaking (leave 1mm adjustment space for subsequent leveling). Step 2: Connect one end of the inlet pipe to the tap’s water inlet and the other end to the supply pipe interface, tightening diagonally with a wrench (apply force until the interface doesn’t slip; excessive force may deform the threads). Step 3: Check if the tap is vertical with a level, then retighten all connections after fine adjustment.
(V) Key points for use testing and inspection
After opening the main water valve, slowly turn on the tap valve core and observe for 3-5 minutes, focusing on: whether water seeps at the contact surface between the tap and sink, whether the inlet pipe interface drips, and whether the valve core switch operates smoothly. Test the water outlet; normally, the water flow should be columnar without obvious splashing. If the water flow splits or makes abnormal noises, there may be impurities in the pipe—close the tap and rinse the filter screen by disassembling the water inlet.
(VI) Common installation problems and solutions
- Interface leakage: Usually caused by uneven PTFE tape wrapping or misaligned interfaces. Disassemble, rewrap the tape evenly (ensure overlapping parts are uniform), align the interfaces, and retighten.
- Tilted tap: May result from uneven tightness of fixing nuts. Loosen the nuts, position with a level, then tighten gradually symmetrically.
- Reduced water flow: Check for pipe blockages or filter screen clogging by impurities; cleaning will restore normal flow.
For complex faults, contact the after-sales team of Chinese faucet factories to avoid component damage from improper disassembly.
(VII) Safety tips and maintenance suggestions
Wear anti-slip gloves during installation to prevent hand scratches from tool slippage; avoid excessive force when tightening parts to prevent damage to sink ceramics or tap plating. In daily use, wipe the tap surface with warm water and neutral detergent, then dry with a cloth (to avoid water stains forming limescale). Inspect interface tightness quarterly and adjust promptly if loose. Do not use steel wool or acidic cleaners on the golden coating to protect the surface protective layer.
