If you have a leaky bathtub faucet, there are some simple ways to fix it yourself. It is possible to remove mineral deposits and identify the faucet's manufacturer. If you're handy enough to do this yourself, you could also fix the Disk valve. Be careful, though, as further damage could result. Before you try to fix your bathtub faucet, read this article.
Disk valves
A disc valve is an ideal choice if you are tired of fixing drippy taps. This valve is made out of ceramic, and is known for being the most durable. This valve's two disks are made of ceramic and have holes that match the handle when it is turned. Ceramic disc valves can also be considered the best because they are resistant to mineral buildup and sediment which could damage other types.
You can easily replace the cartridge by yourself. A stem connects the cartridge to the water supply line. The valve is covered by a metal or plastic sleeve. A small handle fits into a hole in the sleeve. The cartridge valve has no moving parts so it is simple to replace. Replace the cartridge with a new one and you're good to go.
Slip-on spouts
You probably have had to replace a bathtub faucet slip-on stem before. This particular part is usually too long or too big to be screwed onto pipes. There are many options for replacing the spout. Below are some tips to help make the repair as painless as possible.
Identify the bolt that connects the faucet’s spout and the stem. Penetrating oil can be used to loosen tight screws. Next, loosen the set-screw for the slip on spout. This screw is usually located at the bottom of the spout. Use an Allen wrench or a pipe wrench to remove the screw.
Locate the manufacturer of a tub faucet
It is essential to identify the manufacturer and model of a bathtub faucet before you attempt to fix it. Look for the maintenance and installation manual to identify the manufacturer of your faucet. You may also find information on common problems such as low water pressure or parts explosions in the manual. To determine your model number, you can also refer to the manual. The data you collect will eventually help you to determine the type of faucet that you have.
You can first look for the model number or manufacturer logo on the faucet's handle. Remember that the logo might be hidden in a part of your faucet. So, make sure to use a flashlight. Enter the model number into a search engine for the company website and any other details about the product. You may have to take photographs if the model number is obscured before you can view it.
Remove mineral deposits from the tub spout
You may need to get rid of calcium and lime deposits from your tub spout. LimeX or another remover will work. Simply place the spout in a bucket filled with the remover and allow it to soak for several hours. Then, scrape off the calcium buildup with a putty knife.
White vinegar is a popular option to clean tub sputter mineral deposits. You should make sure that the faucet tip is completely submerged in the vinegar. A mild form of Acetic acid is household vinegar. Minerals such calcium and magnesium are responsible for hard water deposits. The hard water deposits can be easily removed using a mild solution. To avoid chemical fumes from escaping, clean your tub spout thoroughly with a soft cloth.
