Mixer installation - steps
Set of required tools: adjustable wrench, gaskets (usually included), wrenches, water hoses
Before installation, it is important to read the instructions, draw a diagram
Connection can be made in 2 ways: using flexible hoses in a metal sheath, using tubes (brass or copper).
The steps for installing the faucet depend on where you plan to install it (in the bathroom, in the kitchen), as well as on its type.
For example, when installing a single-lever faucet, you should tighten the stud on which the half-shell is put on and secure everything with a nut. Only after that the mixer itself is connected.
Two-valve mixers are equipped with tubes (they put nuts on, wind the sealant, connect it to the water supply, tighten the nuts) or a tee (attach to the pipes with help).
Dismantling the old mixer
Here is an example sequence of the dismantling process:
- Shut off the supply to the cold and hot water mixer.
- Open the taps to drain the water and let it flow out so that it does not remain in the mixer body.
- Unscrew the decorative trims that block access to the nuts that fix the mixer to the pipes.
- Unscrew the fixing nuts with a wrench and remove the mixer from the wall without damaging the threads of the water pipe fitting.
If the faucet is attached directly to the bathroom or sink (washstand), you need to remember that water is supplied to it from the water supply fitting mainly with the help of flexible rubber hoses. In this case, it is also better to replace such hoses. For dismantling in this case, you may need an end appropriate size wrench.

Faucet installation step by step instructions
The crane can be installed in three most popular ways:
- installation on a vertical wall;
- installation in the body of the bath;
- mounting as a separate stand.
Wall mounting
The convenience of the design lies in the fact that the faucet, installed in the wall, can be used simultaneously over the bathtub and the sink.
Advice. You can position the faucet above the bathtub, sink or between them.
After dismantling the old crane, pay attention to the eccentrics. For those who are unfamiliar with this concept, eccentrics are a kind of adapters used in plumbing work.
If they are in good condition, then they do not need to be replaced.
If replacement of the eccentrics is required, then take it with a gas wrench and unscrew it counterclockwise. With carelessly performed actions, it may break and then it will be necessary to disassemble the wall. Use the fire of the lighter to heat up the eccentric. So, the process will go faster.
After dismantling the eccentric, the winding can be replaced. Otherwise, the new mixer will clog.
From the inside of the pipe, remove plaque and deposits. Screw the fum tape onto the new eccentrics.
Screw in the eccentrics clockwise. They must be symmetrical.
Install gaskets on the faucet.
Screw bowl covers onto the eccentrics.
Screw the valve nuts onto the eccentrics. First, this can be done by hand, and then with an adjustable wrench. Don't rush into action. The main thing is not to twist the thread.
Attach a shower with a watering can.
Coat the seals with soap so you don't have to cut them off.
Turn on the water in the riser and use your new faucet with pleasure.
Bath body installation
An interesting option that can be used with a flexible eyeliner. All faucet attributes will be located directly on the surface of the bath
It is important to choose the right location for the mixer. It must be accessible for plumbing and repair work.
- With a hole cutter mounted on a drill, make a hole in the bath.
- The next step is to install the mixer.
- Fix the crane with nuts. In order to attach a single-lever model, you need to screw in the pin and put on the half washer. The nut is screwed on the mixer and with the help of a washer is firmly fixed on the bath body.
- Connect flexible hoses with tap water to the faucet.
Faucets on a separate stand
Very stylish faucet. Perfect for large bathrooms.Faucets on a separate rack are also called floor standing.
- The main snag of the installation will be the supply of pipes to the floor. But if the repair is fully completed, then there is only one option left - removing the pipes into a corner and masking with drywall.
- The subsequent installation steps are not much different from installing mixers on the wall.
It is worth noting that floor faucets have a very high cost, but it is offset by the original design in the bathroom.
Installing a faucet is an easy job. The main thing in this business is accuracy and attentiveness. The quality of the materials used and the selected crane also play an important role. But if you strictly follow the instructions, then the result will undoubtedly please you. After all, any homework done by yourself looks much better and is valued higher than the help of specialists. And if you have a question, how to change the faucet in the bathroom with your own hands, answer: "Easy and simple!"

Installation or replacement of the mixer is needed when the faucet is completely out of order and replacing the rubber seals is no longer enough.
To install the faucet yourself, you will need pliers, sealant, plumbing tape.
Using the advice of the specialists of the company "Home Masters", and guided by a step-by-step description of the process, you can replace the faucet in the kitchen and bathroom quickly and efficiently.
Signs of a broken faucet
The valve must be repaired or replaced if:
- even when closed, water flows or drips from it;
- when you turn on the faucet, it hums;
- water flows weakly from the tap, in the other taps of the room the pressure is much more powerful.
Before taking extreme measures, you can try to replace the rubber seal. Often, replacing the seal is sufficient, and further use of the tap does not bring inconvenience. If this measure does not help, proceed to replace the faulty mixer with a new one.
Preparing to install a new faucet
When installing a faucet in the kitchen, select the type of faucet you need - a ceramic plate cartridge is installed in the faucet of the new type, and a bushing faucet is in the faucet of the old design.
Replacing a bathroom faucet is more difficult than replacing a kitchen faucet. The design for the bathroom has a tap water switch, as well as a shower head, which are not needed in the sink faucet.
To mount the mixer from tools, you need an adjustable wrench, pliers (pliers), it is advisable to have a screwdriver on hand. Sealant, plumbing tape, and spare rubber gaskets will also come in handy.
Self-installation of the mixer
Before installing the mixer, do not forget to prepare a bucket and a rag. Even if you carefully let all the water out of the pipes, it can pour out in a small amount. Then follow this algorithm:
- turn off the water along the riser and drain its remnants stagnant in the pipe (keep the tap open until the water flow completely stops);
- remove the old mixer - to do this, unscrew both nuts under the hot and cold water supply taps with an adjustable wrench;
- after dismantling the mixer to be replaced, use pliers to unscrew the two eccentrics remaining in the wall (insert the pliers into the hole from the eccentric and turn to the left);
- wrap the base of the new cams with plumbing tape;
- wrap the eccentric with plumbing tape about 1 cm wide completely;
- wet the tip of the plumbing tape, secure it;
- cover the tape on the eccentric with sealant;
- clean the pipe into which you will screw the eccentric from dirt and old rust, then screw the eccentric into the pipe hole with pliers;
- install reflectors that cover the pipe;
- attach the mixer to the eccentrics with your hands, and then fix it with pliers.
Having attached the mixer, proceed to the final assembly of the structure.
Insert the valve until it rests against the stop ring, then install the nut on it with your hands, then tighten it with pliers or an adjustable wrench.
If the faucet is mounted in the bathroom, insert a shower hose into it - the end with edges is inserted into the faucet itself, and a watering can is fixed on the conical base.
After installation, open the faucet. If the faucet is leaking, tighten the connection in the area of the leak with pliers.
