Things have a "striking" property break. Sooner or later this happens even with the most reliable and simple on its device. In such a situation, you can call for help from a specialist, and you can (if you feel knowledgeable and confident in the question) try to repair on your own. Let's talk about eliminating leaks in a single-grazing mixer.
Remove the cap.
To replace a single-art mixer, you will not need serious tools. We need a flat head screwdriver, adjustable or gas key, as well as a hexagon of a suitable size. Getting Started, Novate.ru recommends remembering the safety regulations. So why does work begins? First of all, we remove the hot-cold water pointer from the crane knob. Under it should be a screw that fixes the handle on the crane - unscrew, you can not completely, the main thing is that the handle is shot.
While working with the crane, it is also worth remembering that work rarely passes smoothly. You should also be prepared for the fact that many elements will be dirty in fat and dirt. By making the described above, we find a decorative cap between the handle and the body of the crane - unscrew it. It is unforgettable that this item is very fragile, and therefore the instrument should be carefully attentive and caution.
So we approached the very responsible point of disassembly - work with a plastic cartridge. By this time, it is mandatory to turn off the arrival of hot and cold water. The wig-fixer is unscrewed using a filter key. Raise the cartridge up. We take this item and go to the sanitary shop, we find and buy there exactly the same.
Now it remains only to install the cartridge in place and assemble the crane in the reverse order, as well as feed water when everything is ready. After the assembly, it is recommended to check the correct operation of the crane several times. Also during the installation of the cartridge, we check how correctly it "sits".
