Before beginning, ensure you have the necessary tools: a screwdriver, adjustable wrench, and possibly a small pick or pliers. Always turn off the water supply to the faucet before starting any repair work.

1. ജലവിതരണം ഓഫാക്കുക: Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise until the water flow stops completely. Turn on the faucet to drain any remaining water and confirm the supply is off.
2. ഫ്യൂസറ്റ് ഹാൻഡിൽ നീക്കം ചെയ്യുക: Depending on your faucet model, you may need to pry off a decorative cap to access a screw. Use a screwdriver to remove the screw and then pull off the handle.
3. Remove Packing Nut/Bonnet Nut: Use an adjustable wrench to carefully loosen and remove the packing nut or bonnet nut that secures the faucet stem.
4. Extract Faucet Stem/Cartridge: Gently pull out the faucet stem or cartridge assembly. You may need to twist it slightly.
5. Locate and Remove Old Seats and Springs: Inside the faucet body, at the bottom of the valve opening, you will find the old rubber seats and springs. Use a small pick or screwdriver to carefully remove them. Note their orientation.
6. Install New Seats and Springs: Place a new spring into the faucet body, ensuring it sits correctly. Then, place a new rubber seat on top of the spring. The wider side of the seat usually faces down, resting on the spring.

   • Insert the faucet stem/cartridge back into the faucet body, aligning any notches or keys.

5. പ്രവർത്തനക്ഷമത

The Danco 80704 Faucet Seats and Springs Repair Kit restores the sealing integrity of Delex/Peerless faucets. The springs provide upward pressure, pushing the rubber seats against the faucet stem. This creates a watertight seal that prevents water from dripping out of the spout when the faucet is in the off position. Proper installation ensures smooth operation and eliminates leaks.

6. പരിപാലനം

Once installed, the Danco 80704 kit requires minimal maintenance. However, regular inspection of your faucet for signs of wear or new leaks is recommended. The lifespan of faucet seats and springs can vary depending on water quality and usage frequency. If a leak reappears, it may indicate that the seats and springs need to be replaced again.

• പതിവ് വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Keep faucet components clean to prevent mineral buildup that can affect seals.
• അമിതമായി മുറുക്കുന്നത് ഒഴിവാക്കുക: Do not overtighten faucet handles, as this can prematurely wear out the seats and springs.
• ജലത്തിൻ്റെ ഗുണനിലവാരം: Hard water can cause faster wear. Consider water softening if you frequently experience faucet issues.

7. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

If your faucet continues to leak after replacing the seats and springs, consider the following:

• Leak Persists:
  • Ensure the new seats and springs are correctly seated and oriented.
  • Check for any debris or mineral deposits inside the faucet body that might prevent a proper seal.
  • Inspect the faucet stem or cartridge for damage or wear that might be causing the leak.
  • Verify that the packing nut/bonnet nut is tightened appropriately (not too loose, not too tight).
• ജലപ്രവാഹ പ്രശ്നങ്ങൾ:
  • If water flow is restricted, check for blockages in the aerator or within the faucet body.
  • Ensure all components are reassembled correctly and not obstructing water pathways.

If issues persist, it may indicate a problem beyond the seats and springs, such as a damaged faucet body or a need for a full cartridge replacement.
