Thursday, April 15, 2010

For repair or replace the tap is necessary to withdraw its place, although it is simply to change the boards or cleaning. Before you start with this task must close the step of water.

We first loosen the decorative that covers the connection of tap with the wall. Such a connection is a piece known as eccentric as it must conform to the distance between the input jacks of the taps, since they are work of art in the place and not always have the same distance. These pieces we allow one simple twist we can accommodate the separation of the jacks to connect to the tap.

The eccentric consists of a tube threaded with a different form at each end to suit the tap and to the taking of water, it also has a broken for the turning can adapt the separation of the entry to the jacks.

To disassemble the faucet unscrew the decorative and then the offbeat with a wrench large or a pipe wrench. Avoid scratch nut or the tap, placing a fabric in the thread.

If released both nuts simultaneously, we avoid unnecessary bottlenecks.

We made the change of boards and the tap, in case of necessary and return to mount the tap.

Mounting a tap shower:

The assembly is performed at the inverse of dismantling. Dismantle the offbeat and put tape of teflon in union with the pipe. We must take care that the tape is well and adjusted to the thread and the post in the opposite direction to the thread, so that the tapping the tape squeeze on itself, otherwise would release. It should put several laps of tape, but without exaggerating, for which the thread is well adjusted. Once the thread is not adjusted the move, otherwise we have to change the tape.

Now adjust the seamstrips or trims until they are glued to the wall, but without squeezing strong.

Finally come the tap and shake the nuts and bolts of both sides, taking care of doing so mature and with the same intensity.
