Water leakage caused by faucet sealing ring:

Dripping occurs when the faucet is turned off; Leakage refers to water leakage that occurs when there is water flowing through the faucet. If you see water gushing out from around the handle of the faucet, it indicates that the faucet is leaking water; First, make sure that the sealing nut of the faucet is tight, but be careful not to scratch the nut with pliers or wrenches.

The tools that need to be prepared when replacing the faucet seal ring are: an adjustable wrench, a new faucet seal ring to be replaced, and Vaseline.

If you check and find that the cause of the faucet leakage is not a loose nut, then you need to replace the sealing ring. The sealing ring of a faucet can be a tight sealing ring composed of one or more O-ring rubber rings, or it can be something wrapped around the valve core like a thin rope or soft metal wire under the packing nut.

When replacing the sealing ring of the faucet, the following steps need to be followed:

Process 1: Turn off the water supply and remove the faucet handle.

Process 2: Unscrew the packing nut and remove both the nut and the old sealing ring from the valve core.

Process 3: Install a new sealing ring. If you are using a linear sealing material, wrap it around the valve core a few times. If it is a sealing material like soft metal wire, only wrap it around the valve core once.

Before assembling the faucet from scratch, apply a thin layer of Vaseline oil to the threads of the valve core and the sealing nut.
