In modern kitchen spaces, the kitchen sink tap extension flexible single – cold basin faucet, with its unique extendable flexible pipe design, offers users a flexible water – using experience. Products manufactured by Китайские заводы по производству смесителей with mature craftsmanship and strict quality control not only ensure convenient installation but also maintain stable performance during long – term use. The following details the installation process, usage, and maintenance of this product from multiple aspects.
(I) Меры предосторожности перед установкой изделия
Before installation, it is necessary to fully understand the product characteristics of the kitchen sink tap extension flexible single – cold basin faucet. Carefully read the product manual to master its structural composition, accessory list, and the types of sinks it is compatible with. Meanwhile, measure the size of the installation hole on the sink countertop to ensure a proper fit with the faucet, and confirm the material of the sink and countertop to avoid damage after installation due to material incompatibility. It is particularly important to turn off the main water valve at home before installation to cut off the water supply and prevent accidental water leakage during the installation process.
(II) Необходимые инструменты для установки
A set of suitable installation tools is the basis for a smooth installation. Essential tools include wrenches for fastening pipe fittings, screwdrivers for removing and installing screws, tape measures for precise dimension measurement, and possibly thread – sealing tape to enhance joint tightness. Having all the tools ready can prevent interruptions during the installation process due to missing tools.
(III) Подготовительные шаги перед установкой
First, thoroughly clean the sink installation area, removing all debris and dust from the countertop to ensure a clean installation environment. Check each accessory according to the product manual, including the faucet body, extendable flexible pipe, fixing nuts, sealing gaskets, and other core components. If any missing or defective accessories are found, promptly contact the after – sales department of the Chinese faucet factory for handling to ensure that all accessories are intact and of the correct specifications.
(IV) Стандартный процесс установки
Insert the kitchen sink tap extension flexible single – cold basin faucet vertically through the pre – drilled installation hole from above the sink. Then, put on the sealing gasket and fixing nut in sequence under the sink. Use a wrench to tighten the fixing nut moderately. Note that the tightening force should be appropriate; too loose may cause the faucet to wobble, while too tight may damage the sink or faucet components. Subsequently, accurately connect the extendable flexible pipe to both the faucet body and the water pipe. When connecting, wrap an appropriate amount of thread – sealing tape around the joints to further enhance the sealing effect. After the connection is completed, slowly open the main water valve and initially check for any water seepage at each connection.
(V) Ключевые моменты тестирования и проверки использования
After the installation is completed, turn on the faucet switch to observe whether the water flow is stable and smooth, and test whether the water flow adjustment function is normal. Flexibly adjust the bending angle and extension length of the extendable flexible pipe to check whether its movement is smooth and free of jams. At the same time, carefully inspect all interface parts, including the connection between the faucet and the sink, the joints of the extendable flexible pipe, etc., to confirm that there is no dripping or leakage. If any abnormalities are found, immediately close the water valve and re – check and adjust the connection parts.
(VI) Общие проблемы при установке и их решение
During the installation process, water leakage at the joints may occur. This is usually due to improper installation of the sealing gasket, gasket aging and damage, or loose joints. Reinstall the gasket or replace it with a new one, and use a wrench to tighten the joints moderately. If the faucet does not rotate flexibly, it may be that the fixing nut is too tight, restricting the rotation space. Loosening the nut appropriately can improve the situation. For other complex problems, it is recommended to contact the professional technicians of the Chinese faucet factory for targeted solutions.
(VII) Советы по безопасности и рекомендации по обслуживанию
In daily use, avoid excessive bending, pulling, or twisting of the extendable flexible pipe to prevent damage to the pipe and affect normal use. Regularly clean the surface of the faucet and the water outlet with a soft cloth to remove scale and impurities and ensure smooth water flow. Check the tightness of the joints at regular intervals and replace aging sealing components in a timely manner to ensure the long – term stable operation of the faucet and extend its service life.
