Leakage method and cause

1. The faucet does not leak from the outlet: this will happen when the axial gasket in the faucet is worn out.

Solution: According to the size of the faucet, choose the corresponding pliers to unscrew the faucet gland, and use the clamp to remove the worn shaft gasket, and then replace with a new auxiliary gasket to solve the problem.

2. Water leakage occurs at the joint of the faucet nozzle: check whether the nut of the lower nozzle is loose.

The solution is to tighten the nut or replace it with a new U-shaped gasket.

3. Reasons for water leakage in the gap under the faucet bolt:

That is caused by the wear of the triangular gasket in the gland. You can loosen the screw to remove the bolt head, then loosen and remove the gland, then take out the triangle seal inside the gland and replace it with a new one.
