When disassembling a sink faucet, you might encounter a double-pipe design. This design makes disassembly relatively complex, but it can be easily completed by following the correct steps. Next, we'll discuss how to easily disassemble a double-pipe design inside a sink faucet.
1. First, use a wrench to separate the inlet pipe from the flexible hose. Note that bathroom inlet pipes are usually exposed and can be manually cranked, so be extra careful during disassembly. It's recommended to firmly hold the pipe with your left hand and gently twist the wrench with your right hand to gradually separate the two parts.
2. Next, remove the faucet's retaining clip to allow the faucet to be removed from the sink. If the hose has become brittle due to prolonged use, and the retaining clip is rusted, making it impossible to turn the wrench, you may need to use a saw to cut it off.
3. In some cases, the flexible hose under the sink faucet may be installed deep inside the pipe, requiring some patience and skill to disassemble. This is usually because the valve seat may have been secured to the faucet body with screws during installation. At this point, you can use a long screwdriver to turn the screw counterclockwise from below, and then push the valve core seat and high-pressure hose out together from below.
