How to disassemble a single-lever mixer, and what to look for when doing so Special attention? Despite all the delights of such solutions, single-lever mixers also fail and leaks form in certain places. You don’t have to run to the store and buy a new device. It can be completely repaired. Of course, to do this, the single-lever mixer will have to be disassembled first.

Components
To understand how to properly disassemble and subsequently repair, you first need to study the components that are structural parts of a faucet equipped with a single lever. And it has the following elements:
- Frame;
- Case cover;
- Rotary handle;
- Circular nut;
- Pad;
- Replaceable cartridge for mechanical cleaning.
It is worth noting that there are various models such plumbing equipment, and therefore a ceramic or ball cartridge may be included in the design.
Ball cartridge
If we talk about a faucet with a ball cartridge, it consists of a hollow ball with a pin that connects to holes and a handle. Through the inlet holes, hot, cold water. There it is mixed, as a result of which it is fed through the spout into the sink.
The pressure and temperature can change due to rotation of the ball. As a result, a larger or smaller volume of water is supplied, and the ratio of hot and cold water coming from the spout is adjusted. In this case, the inlets are often equipped with seals made of Teflon.
Ceramic cartridge
Faucets with such a cartridge may have different designs. It depends largely on the manufacturer. In this case, mixers work on an identical principle. Inside each of them there is a pair of ceramic plates that fit tightly to one another. They move when you turn the handle.
The holes inside are aligned, which is why mixed hot and cold water is supplied. Devices are often supplemented with a special restrictive ring, which is responsible for controlling the supply of hot flow. If in such a mixer you turn on the maximum hot water, cold water will still be partially added to the flow. This design was created to prevent burns from boiling water.
The outer side of the cartridge holes is protected using plastic gaskets with a rubber element or silicone gaskets. And on the top washer there are notches or stripes, which minimize noise from water and also protect the equipment in the event of water hammer.
It is important to note that faucets equipped with ceramic cartridges cannot be repaired. It will have to be changed immediately if it fails.
Disassembling a single lever mixer
Having studied the design, structure, and operating principles of plumbing fixtures, we can talk about how it is possible to disassemble our single-lever mixer.
- On the cylindrical section of the handle there is a plug, which is painted blue-red. Arm yourself with a thin screwdriver or a regular knife to remove it from there.
- Now you should unscrew the screw, which is located just under this plug. As a rule, a hexagon with a size of 2.5 to 3 millimeters is used for these purposes, depending on the production. This screw secures the lever to the stem.
- Now you just need to remove the lever from the body. Half the way, one might say, has been completed.
- The next step is to dismantle the cartridge that has failed. Pulling it out and then putting a new one in place is not difficult.
- However, after disassembling and dismantling the cartridge, it is advisable to take a break to go to a plumbing supply store. Without knowing exactly which cartridge you will need, use an old one as a sample. It comes in different sizes, although there are only two variations - 30 or 40 millimeters.
- When purchasing an adjusting rod, which it is also advisable to replace, give preference to products made of brass, but avoid plastic options. They won't last long, believe me.
Disassembling faucets with a ball mechanism
There is no point in making instructions here. The reason is quite simple. It is useful to know that ball mechanisms in mixers last a very long time, which is why they have earned their popularity. But they cannot be called eternal, unfortunately. Their disadvantage is that in the event of a breakdown, any components cannot be replaced. And there will be absolutely no meaning here. You will have to completely change the mixer, replace the old one with a new one.
There is only one malfunction that can be eliminated in mixers with ball mechanisms. These are cases when the stream began to flow weaker.
- The nut is unscrewed from the spout.
- After this, the mesh is removed, thoroughly washed and blown.
- The mesh is installed in place.
That's basically all there is to it in this case within your power. The rest are more global problems only imply the replacement of plumbing fixtures. As you can see, single-lever faucets are very popular equipment for furnishing kitchens and bathrooms. They are easy to regulate water pressure and temperature, they have a simple design, and they are not difficult to repair if necessary.
But in order to avoid all the problems, the discomfort of lack of water due to the failure of the device, it is recommended to initially spend a little more money, but buy a really high-quality, reliable, durable faucet. It will serve for many years, plus it will delight you with its visual appeal.
The current market for plumbing equipment allows you to get a high-quality faucet even with a small investment. Well, there’s no need to talk about aesthetics. There are so many solutions now that they will satisfy the needs of even the most demanding client.
The kitchen lever mixer is designed for increased loads, because they are opened 10 times more often than taps in the bathroom. Therefore, it is so important to choose the right device that can last for many years.
Currently the market offers different types kitchen faucets, but lever ones remain the most popular. Lever faucets for the kitchen differ little from similar appliances intended for the bathroom. They are also designed and made from similar materials, while they have certain differences and expanded functionality.
Mixers come in single- and double-lever types. Devices with 2 valves (taps) are designed for separate supply of hot and tap water. This is the choice of people who love retro- chic in the interior.
This kitchen faucet is more modern version. It has only one handle, by turning it horizontally and vertically, you can select optimal temperature and water pressure.
They are easier to use, which is why most buyers prefer them. They are also different economical consumption water. Double-lever kitchen faucets take longer to set up, which ultimately increases water costs.
Also recently, special combined three-channel kitchen faucets have appeared. This new product on the plumbing market performs two functions at once: regular water supply and supply of filtered water.
The triple kitchen faucet, like previous varieties, has one tap connected to treatment system to obtain drinking water.
Switch between different options Water can be supplied in such devices using a special lever.
This version of the devices is incredibly easy to use, since they eliminate the need to install an additional tap for supplying clean water, which means they save space on kitchen sink.
These devices are as reliable as simple lever ones and can be made in any style.
Differences from a double lever bathroom faucet
How do these bathroom products differ from analogues designed for installation on the kitchen sink? The main specificity of kitchen devices is the geometry and width of the water jet. These characteristics are of great importance in terms of ergonomics. When installing the appliance in the kitchen, the jet must hit directly into the middle of the sink, otherwise washing dishes will become more difficult.
Nose kitchen appliance can have different heights - from minimal to large. In parallel with the increase in height spout The degree of spraying of water, as well as the pressure of the jet, also increases. If the spout is too low, it will be difficult to wash large plates and pots. And in a sink equipped with such a mixer, it is impossible to place a lot of dirty dishes at once, which means that some of it will have to be placed on the nearest table.
In other words, the height of the spout and the depth of the sink are directly related. The more the nose drops, the more spacious the sink must be. To avoid mistakes when choosing these plumbing elements, when purchasing, you should give preference to plumbing kits that include, in addition to the sink and faucet, all the necessary accessories.
Types of single lever faucets
There are 2 types of such devices:
- Ball. The main element in them is a small steel ball located in the body of the device. This ball has 3 holes through which water, hot and mixed water, entering the mixer opening. The ball is in contact with rubber seals, and changes in jet pressure are accompanied by rotation of the ball. Such devices are highly reliable and rarely break down.
- Cartridge. Here the ball is replaced by a special disk cartridge consisting of two ceramic plates. At the bottom of the disk there are 3 holes, the purpose of which is the same as in the case of a ball mixer.
Why is the rotation angle important?
Experts recommend choosing devices with a large spout angle, as they are more convenient to use. In cheap mixers it does not exceed 140°, but more expensive models rotate 180°. The most modern devices capable of rotating around an axis. The latter option is intended for a trendy island kitchen located in the center of the room or at a decent distance from the walls. But for sinks with wall or corner installation, there is no need for an expensive mixer; 140 degrees is enough.
What's good about a pull-out spout?
Devices with such a spout have a hose inside that can extend 60-120 cm. This is very convenient when installing a sink with two bowls - for washing and rinsing dishes, respectively. Also, thanks to this spout, you can pour water into a bucket placed outside the sink.
The hose is made of high-quality rubber and has additional protection in the form of a fabric or metal braid. In expensive devices, the hose is made of special polymer material PEX coated to prevent pathogens from growing.
There are 2 types of pull-out spout designs:
- With a regular aerator. This is the cheapest option.
- WITH shower head. You can use it to wash berries, vegetables and fruits, and rinse dishes.
To fix the spout at a certain height, a special button is provided in the mixer design. The fixation mechanism itself can be:
- With a sinker. In this case, the hose is more difficult to pull out, but then you don’t have to hold it.
- With return spring. Here the hose is removed without the slightest effort, but during the process you will have to continuously keep your finger on the button, otherwise the hose will return inside the tap. This type of design is less convenient.
Faucet types: prefabricated and cast
Devices prefabricated type are the most popular, as they allow you to quickly replace failed elements. The cast design implies a seamless connection between the spout and the body. Professionals recommend choosing just such plumbing fixtures because they consider them more reliable due to the absence of unnecessary connections. But complete tightness of connections is also achievable in prefabricated structures; to do this, they just need to be assembled and installed correctly. They are also much easier to direct the water stream into.
Regardless of the type of design, double-lever or single-lever can have any design, the choice of which depends only on the tastes of the buyer and the interior style.
Additional functionality
Today the market offers models equipped with a built-in switch for washing machine and dishwashers, as well as some coffee machines. This option allows you to avoid laying a bunch of communications and serves additional protection from leaks. In these devices, to shut off the water to the equipment, you just need to press a small switch located on the body. By installing this model, you will forever get rid of the need to crawl under the sink to turn off the water.
