The valve seat is a crucial component inside the faucet that provides a tight seal to prevent water from leaking out when the tap is turned off. Over time, constant use can cause the seat to deteriorate, resulting in leaks. The Tap Reseating Tool tackles this problem head-on, making it easy for you to fix the issue without the need for professional plumbing assistance.
Here's how the Tap Reseating Tool works:
Turn off the water supply: Before starting any repair work, always shut off the water supply to the affected faucet. This will prevent any water flow during the repair process.
Disassemble the faucet: Carefully disassemble the faucet to access the valve seat. You may need to remove the handle, spout, and other components to reach the seat.
Inspect the valve seat: Once you've exposed the valve seat, inspect it for signs of wear or damage. Common issues include pitting, scratches, or rough surfaces.
Use the Tap Reseating Tool: The Tap Reseating Tool is specifically designed to smooth out and regrind the valve seat, restoring it to a smooth and even surface. This allows for a proper seal when the faucet is closed, preventing leaks.
Reassemble the faucet: After using the Tap Reseating Tool and ensuring the valve seat is in good condition, carefully reassemble the faucet components.
Turn on the water supply: Once everything is back in place, turn on the water supply and test the faucet. You should notice a significant reduction in leaks or none at all if the repair was successful.
