detailed instructions

Let's consider step by step process of replacing and installing the mixer:

• First, it is necessary to dismantle the mixer, after which the preparation for installation will be carried out. First you need to stop the water stream, for this simply turn the faucet and break the water.
• Do not forget immediately under the sink something to put something - the rag some so that in the case of which does not bother and do not waste time cleaning the water.
• We pass to the process of dismantling the details under consideration. For this, hoses that were connected to hot and cold stream pipes must be removed. Just before carrying out such a process. It is worth it for these cranes to substitute any container in which all the water is defined, which "hung" in them.

• Do not forget that all the details should be rubbed dry, and the thread is no exception.
• Using a tubular key, you must remove the nut, which is the fastener for connecting the sink and the mixer.
• As soon as you do the above process, the metal washer will take off itself. All that belongs to the old mixer (all items) is removed from the sink and lay aside.
• The next step is collecting a mixer. It all starts with connecting the hose (they can be both flexible and no). Modern mixers are usually sold assembled, but some manufacturers sell the part under consideration in the disassembled state. And if you bought the latter, you do not have anything, how to independently connect all the details together.
• Connect the hoses of the mixer to the cranes, first to the cold, after, to the hot. It should be noted that it is not necessary to delay the details overly, because you can damage the threads on them.
• After the entire mixer is a single part, you can connect it to the system itself. Specialists suggest that the optimal option. Connect blend to the sink removed, because the sink built in the table top is very difficult to bring suite.
• The ends of the hose (and one, and the other) must be returned through a hole that is located on washing (in various places and corners, depending on the model). In this case, this whole design will be projected, therefore, therefore, the extra pair of hands does not hurt.
• Do not forget that the hose has also needed to wear the hose and the puck of the clamping type.
• Thanks to rubberized seals, the sink housing will be tight and firmly fixed, both below and from above.
• If you install a mixer to wash, which is removed from your permanent place, then the horn key is useful. This tool will not be superfluous in the case of a completely new sink.

Remember, the nut must be tightened quite strongly, but at the same time, you should not overdo it. Now that the mixer is installed on the sink, you can connect the hoses to the cranes.

After all the details are connected, you can proceed to check your work, so to speak, to carry out control of the work done. So, we turn on the water that is started through the pipes and open the cranes. The excellent outcome of your work will be uninterrupted operation of the entire water system, as well as dry sink and on it. If there are no problems with water supply and seeping through the washers. Gaskets and nuts are not - it means you have done your work on excellent. Now you know how to independently change the mixer or install a new one.
