- "One spit, I want to and I will change if necessary"-. A man, the owner of the house, lying on the couch can declare. But at the same time they are in no hurry to change the flowing "mixture". These instructions for replacing the mixer are just for such "Sofa workers".
-
Place of work- public bathroom
in the female dorm. - Tool- adjustable, gas and open-end wrenches.
- Time - 16.30 hurrying home.
- goal- quickly change the mixer and enjoy a free evening.
Let's take a closer look at the "battle wounds". It all flows out with water, the vessels do not withstand and release life-giving moisture in prohibited places.
The first step is to close the water supply. First of all, mixers first. Well, girls, and girls later.
We turn off the eyeliner (hoses).
We unscrew the fastening of the sink to the wall. Two nuts, right and left.
We unscrew the siphon bolt, it is necessary to unscrew it due to the poor filling of the pedestal.
The corrugated siphon will not come out without problems when removing the "bowl".
The siphon can be safely pulled down, be careful, do not pour over the stinking liquid.
Grasping with both hands, we begin slowly, together with the pedestal, move the sink towards ourselves.
We move until you see two pins sticking out of the wall.
Only after that, you can quietly raise the bowl and lay it on the floor, after substituting something. I have this bucket.
Since the mixer was leaking and water got on the persistent bronze nut. She's oxidized. Which led to enormous difficulties, she just wouldn't turn away.
Tip of the day
Before unscrewing the oxidized connections, it is necessary to fill them with special. grease, type "WD-40" one day before work. During this time, the "liquid key" will penetrate all the cracks.
Recently, I tested seven lubricants using rusty nails and found the best one, not the expensive WD-40, but a cheap analogue. Link to article at the end of this tutorial.
You must first unscrew the hoses with a key of "10" if you're lucky. Or "9", "11", zero (the key is the youngest of the gas).
We try to unscrew the nut holding the mixer using a 30 wrench. It is going very tight.
Strengthen the shoulder with an adjustable wrench. Let's go more fun.
Tim! We've got a problem! (monologue with myself) Which one? The mixer has started to rotate! Damn, you have to take the case
mixer, gas key No. 2.
Having damaged the coating of the water separator, he began to turn away more confidently.
Hooray I did it! Having said these words to myself, wiping sweat from my forehead.
TOarticle, about how to change the leaking "fittings" (water-filling mechanism) in the toilet cistern, you can watch the reportage-instructions from the women's toilet. You know where the link is, left below.
Brand new!
After a little smoke, (I quit smoking... what a fine fellow I am) we continue to hoist the chrome friend in place. But first we wipe the seats.
Taking the mixer in hand, we lay out in the brain what and where it should be.
We put the rubber band on the mixer. Holding it in one hand, push it into the hole in the bowl.
It's hard when you work alone, there is no one to take off... With the other hand, on the back side, tighten the thrust nut. Here's what should come out from the inside.
Take a closer photo. We tighten well. In this case, the two holes for the hoses must be parallel to the flat side of the bowl. Do you understand something? The first time, I would not have understood either. But in the process it is easy to "finish".
Next, we take two hoses.
In the place where the thread is, one of the connections has an elongated part. We wrap it up last. It is advisable to apply lubricant to the thread so that the rubber band is not accidentally pulled up.
We wrap them with a little effort, with a key to "10".
After the hoses are mounted, we assemble the corrugation on the sink. I will miss this point in this article. Somehow I will separately "draw" instructions on this matter.
After wiping our hands from sweat and "bacon", we take the shell with both hands and set it on a pedestal, without letting go of our hands, we begin to push the "leg" of the shell and the bowl into their previous position. The holes in the bowl should line up with the pins from the wall.
After carrying out the "Barbaros" plan, tighten the fastening nuts.
UFF... you can exhale. Didn't break anything. Next, we connect the hoses to the shut-off valves.
We open the taps smoothly without jerking. We fill all cavities with water. Passing water through a mixer into a bucket.
Checking the hidden hose connection. Feeling it with your fingers. If there are droplets on the hands, after feeling it, it will be necessary to tighten the threads of the eyeliner or remove the sink again and look for the cause of the smudges.
Only after that we connect the corrugation to drain into the sewer.
As a gardener, having grown an apple tree, he first tastes the fruit from the apple tree. So the plumber, feeling deep satisfaction, used the mixer for the first time. washing hands with it.
