1. First of all, close the main water tap. In most homes, there is a small safety valve for each valve that closes the water inlet to the valve, and it is sufficient to close the safety valve. Otherwise, you must cut off the main water supply to complete the water tap repair process.
3. First, remove the cap from the tip of the screwdriver or knife. This cap is usually marked in blue and red to distinguish between hot and cold water. After opening the lid, you will encounter a small screw. Unscrew this screw. The screw may have rusted over time and deposits may prevent it from opening. You can use a few soft taps on the back of the screwdriver to loosen the screws and loosen the deposits.
4. You can now pull out the square. After removing the square, you will see the lion's brain, which is yellow. Fasten the wrench around the brain and rotate counterclockwise. After opening the brain, your main job is done.
5. At this stage, you will usually encounter a plated washer. Sometimes the washer is so worn that it breaks into small pieces and falls into the tap. Use a screwdriver to remove these parts. We suggest opening the water tank slightly to remove excess water from the gasket. Be careful to open only a little water.
6. The washer is connected to the brain by a small screw. In most valves, this screw is two-sided or four-sided. But in others, a polygonal screw is used and needs to be opened by a pliers or wrench. This screw can often be opened with any type of screwdriver.
7. Open the screw and discard the remnants of the washer. Do not throw the washer into the sewer and throw it in the trash. Now replace the new washer. Some washers have poor quality material, are very stiff and break down immediately after a while. Try to make a washer that is flexible. After inserting the washer, tighten the screw.
8. Now go through the above steps in reverse order and secure everything in place. Open the main water tap and your valve will no longer drip.
Brain replacement of classic valves
You will also need two wrench tools and an allen wrench to replace the lever valve cartridge. The size of each valve varies, but you'll usually need a 1.8-inch Allen wrench.
Brain replacement is almost identical to the process of changing the washer. Remove the valve cover and unscrew the small screw. Now take out the square to access the brain. Use the wrench to open the brains counterclockwise. In this case, too, the remnants of the washer usually fall into the tap. Take them out and replace them with new brains. The new brains in the market all have a washer, and there's no need to put a separate washer.
2. Removal of water droplets in lever valves
Leverage valves rarely break and leak. If this type of valve fails, the only solution is to replace the cartridge. Of course, since cartridge failure is very rare, you may not be able to easily find the same valve cartridge on the market after it breaks down. However, the steps to replace the cartridge in the lever valves are as follows:
1. To replace the cartridge, you must first find the valve cover. This cap is very small, unlike the square valves. It may be located in front of the valve and may have two small blue and red signs. It may be located behind the valve and you may not see any color on it. Either way, remove it with the tip of a knife or any sharp object.
2. Use the Allen wrench to unscrew the small screw on the back of the cap. With a little pressure, you can easily remove the valve lever.
3. You can now see a chrome cover for the beauty of the milk. You can rotate and open this cap by hand.
4. At this point, you will encounter a yellow screw. You will need a wrench to unscrew this screw. Adjust the wrench to the correct size and carefully open it counterclockwise.
5. Now all you have to do is pull out the cartridge with your hands and replace it with a new cartridge. Be sure to replace cartridges on the valve body.
6. Go through the steps in reverse. Now your milk must be made. You can turn on the mains water and enjoy a space without the sound of a tap.
