How To Fix Leaky Bathroom Faucet

A leaky faucet is not only annoying, but it can also waste a lot of water. If you have a leaky faucet in your bathroom, it's important to fix it as soon as possible. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Gather your tools.

You will need the following tools to fix a leaky faucet: * Adjustable wrench * Screwdriver * Pliers * Allen wrench (if necessary) * Replacement washer(s) (if necessary) * O-rings (if necessary)

2. Turn off the water supply.

The first step is to turn off the water supply to the faucet. There will be two valves under the sink that you need to close. One valve will be for the hot water and one will be for the cold water.

3. Remove the aerator.

The aerator is the small, screw-on attachment at the end of the faucet. Use a wrench to remove the aerator.

4. Remove the handle.

Use a screwdriver to remove the handle from the faucet. There will be a screw or two that you need to loosen.

5. Remove the packing nut.

The packing nut is the large nut that is located under the handle. Use a wrench to loosen the packing nut and remove it.

6. Remove the stem.

The stem is the long, metal rod that is located inside the faucet. Use a wrench to loosen the stem and remove it.

7. Inspect the washer and O-rings.

The washer and O-rings are the components that seal the faucet and prevent it from leaking. Inspect the washer and O-rings for any signs of damage. If they are damaged, you will need to replace them.

8. Reassemble the faucet.

Once you have inspected the washer and O-rings, you can reassemble the faucet. Start by inserting the stem into the faucet body. Then, tighten the packing nut. Next, insert the handle and tighten the screw(s). Finally, screw on the aerator.

9. Turn on the water supply.

Once you have reassembled the faucet, turn on the water supply. Check for any leaks. If there are no leaks, you have successfully fixed your leaky faucet.
