The kitchen mixer tap foldable made by Chinese kranenfabrieken, with its unique foldable structure, is an ideal choice for small kitchen spaces. This design can flexibly adjust the position, making the use of single cold vegetable basins more convenient. The following are detailed installation steps and related precautions.
I Precautions Before Installation
Before installation, confirm that the product and accessories are intact. Chinese faucet factories strictly control the quality in the production process, but transportation may cause damage. A careful check can avoid subsequent troubles. At the same time, check whether the size of the countertop opening at the installation position matches the faucet base. The conventional opening diameter is 30-35mm. If the size does not match, it needs to be handled in advance.
II Vereist gereedschap
To install the kitchen mixer tap foldable, you need to prepare an adjustable wrench, screwdriver, raw tape, tape measure and pencil. These tools can assist in removing the old faucet, fixing the new faucet and other operations.
III Installation Preparation
First, turn off the main water supply switch to prevent water leakage during installation. Then remove the old faucet. If there is rust, you can use a wrench to assist, but be careful not to damage the countertop. Then clean the installation hole of the vegetable basin and its surrounding area to ensure no debris interferes with the installation.
IV Installation Process
Pass the base of the kitchen mixer tap foldable through the installation hole of the vegetable basin, put the gasket and nut from below, and gently tighten them with a wrench to fix, paying attention to moderate force to prevent damage to the countertop. Then connect the water inlet pipe, wrap an appropriate amount of raw tape around the interface to enhance sealing, and then connect the water inlet pipe to the water source interface and tighten it. Finally, unfold the foldable part and check whether all components are installed in place.
V Testing and Inspection
Turn on the main water supply switch, slowly turn on the faucet, and check whether there is water leakage at the interface and other parts. At the same time, test whether the folding function is smooth and whether it can be flexibly adjusted to the required position. If water leakage is found, turn off the water source, recheck the interface and tighten it.
VI Solutions to Common Problems
If the faucet shakes after installation, it is mostly because the base nut is not tightened, which can be solved by reinforcing with a wrench. Water leakage at the interface may be due to insufficient wrapping of raw tape or misalignment of the interface. It can be solved by re-wrapping the raw tape and adjusting the interface position before tightening.
VII Safety and Maintenance
Pay attention to safety when using tools during installation to avoid hand scratches. Regularly check all connecting parts to prevent loosening and water leakage. When cleaning the faucet, do not use corrosive cleaning agents to avoid damaging the surface coating and affecting the service life. The kitchen mixer tap foldable produced by Chinese faucet factories can be used stably for a long time after correct installation and maintenance, providing convenience for kitchen operations.
