How To Disassemble A Kitchen Faucet?

Disassembling a kitchen faucet is often necessary for cleaning, maintenance, or replacing internal parts such as cartridges, aerators, or hoses. At HAOJIAJIA, we design our kitchen faucets with user-friendly installation and disassembly features, making maintenance simple and efficient. Below is a professional step-by-step guide tailored to our product design.

Tools You May Need

• Adjustable wrench or basin wrench

• Screwdriver (flathead or Phillips)

• Allen wrench (for handle set screws)

• Pliers

• Soft cloth or towel

• Bucket (to catch any water)

Our faucets are engineered with precision fittings, reducing the need for complex tools and ensuring a smooth disassembly process.

Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply

Locate the hot and cold shut-off valves under the sink. Turn them clockwise to stop the water flow. Open the faucet to release any remaining water pressure.

Step 2: Remove the Faucet Handle

1. Look for a small set screw located under or behind the handle.

2. Use an Allen wrench or screwdriver to loosen it.

3. Gently lift the handle off the faucet body.

HAOJIAJIA faucets feature ergonomic handle designs with accessible screws, making this step quick and easy.

Step 3: Detach the Cartridge or Valve

1. Under the handle, you’ll find a retaining nut or clip.

2. Use a wrench to carefully unscrew the retaining nut.

3. Pull out the cartridge or valve assembly.

Our faucets use durable ceramic cartridges that are both long-lasting and easy to replace, ensuring smooth operation after reassembly.

Step 4: Remove the Spout (If Needed)

1. Lift the spout straight up from the faucet body.

2. Some models may have a locking ring or clip that needs removal first.

3. Check for mineral buildup or worn O-rings, which can be cleaned or replaced.

Thanks to precision-machined fittings, our spouts are simple to detach without excessive force.

Step 5: Disconnect Hoses and Supply Lines

1. Use a wrench to loosen the connections under the sink.

2. Detach the hot and cold water hoses from the shut-off valves.

3. Disconnect the spray hose if your faucet includes one.

HAOJIAJIA faucets are equipped with high-quality flexible hoses, making them easy to remove and reattach during maintenance.

Step 6: Clean and Inspect Components

• Soak aerators, cartridges, or small parts in vinegar to remove limescale.

• Inspect O-rings and gaskets for wear.

• Replace any damaged parts with compatible components.

Our ISO-certified materials ensure long-lasting performance, but regular inspection helps extend faucet life even further.
