What if the faucet is broken?

Nowadays, there are more and more household water equipment, and the frequency of using faucets is also relatively high. But after a long time, the faucet joint is easy to break and stay in the pipeline. What if the faucet is broken? How to take it out? How to change the faucet? Let's take a look.

First, how to deal with the broken faucet?

1. If the faucet in the water pipe on the wall is broken, you can find a small saw blade, divide the thread in the water pipe into several sections, then use a screwdriver and hammer to cut it from the outside, and then gently break it open and take it out. Tips: Because the faucet joint is generally copper and hard, don't cut the gap too deep, otherwise it may hurt the thread teeth on the inner wall of the tee.

2. If the faucet is broken at the tee, you can melt the old tee with a fuser, and then install a new faucet. If you ask a master to operate, it will cost about 100 yuan.

There is also the simplest way, that is, to buy a broken screw extractor online or in a hardware store. Screw the thread take-up device into the thread of the broken faucet, then turn a wrench or pliers to fix the outer edge of the thread take-up device, screw it in clockwise, and then screw it out counterclockwise.

Second, how to replace the faucet

1. Prepare tools in advance: wrenches, pliers, sealing tape, etc.

2. If the faucet has rusted, don't use brute force, otherwise it is easy to break the internal thread and leave it in the water pipe. You can drop some oil on the bottom of the faucet and twist it with a wrench, which will make you feel much more relaxed.

3. To replace a new faucet, first wind the raw material tape clockwise for several times, then hold the faucet with your left hand and insert the faucet into the threaded hole and tighten it, which can achieve a better sealing effect and prevent the faucet from leaking. Try to buy all copper faucets, which are durable and do not rust.

Conclusion: Different faucets have slightly different disassembly and installation methods. You can try the above method. If it still doesn't work, please ask a professional expert to handle it.
