If your mixer has spoiled and passes water, even when closed, it causes inconvenience and irritation. If you do not pay attention on time, it may pour out big problems. But do not rush to run to the store for a new mixer and look for Plumbing. Having some skills, the homemade master will be able to make the repair of the mixer independently, and we will help you several practical advice.
1
There are two main varieties of mixers - valve and one-art. Single-frame systems have advantages over valve. They are more convenient for use and more durable, and that is why it is widely applied. When a single-dimensional mixer began to proceed, then for repair we will need a new ceramic cartridge. Buying it, be sure to make sure that you have acquired a similar old one.

First of all, before proceeding to the repair of your mixer, overcoat the water on input risers - hot and cold. Only then can proceed to work. Screw the edge of the plug and remove it. The plug closes access to the locking screw that holds the mixer handle on the cartridge lever.

Unscrew the screw and remove the handle from the cartridge lever. Then you need to unscrew the decorative and cape nuts. A cape nut tightly presses a ceramic cartridge to the saddle. We replace the faulty cartridge to a new and tightly tighten the cape nut. Be sure to note that the holes of the new cartridge coincide with the holes on the seat seat. Next, tighten the decorative nut, put the handle on the control lever and tighten the shut-off screw. By inserting the plug into place, you can consider the repair finished. Turn on the water and enjoy your health!

Faults in the valve systems are most often concluded in the fact that seals or threads are wearing. If the water flows only through the gland between the rod and the case, then try simply to pick up the nut and compact the packing, and if it does not help - proceed to more serious repairs.

A screwdriver neatly need to remove the decorative lining on the barbell and unscrew the screw, then remove the lamp. If the screw is not unscrewed, process it with a platform. Carefully unscrew the cape nut, which seals the surp packing, and remove it. Nut can be both hexagon and square.

Next, unscrew and remove the rod. Below will be a rubber pad, and you need to replace it. If the pad is screwed down, then unscrew it, and putting a new one, screw back. Be sure to clean the valve seat from the plaque. Cleaning make small emery paper. After that, tighten the rod with a new lining, put on it a new gland ring, and lowering it into the case, tighten with a cape nut. Wear a lamb, twist the screw, put a decorative lining - and all, the repair is over.
This is how it is quite easy to make the mixer repair with your own hands. And most importantly - you do not have to look for plumbing. By the way, it's not a fact that he will do everything qualitatively. As they say, sober plumber is a character of folk fairy tales.
