Now most people use full-automatic washing machines. The faucets are basically normally open. The water inlet is completely controlled by the water inlet valve of the washing machine. The connection between the water inlet pipe and the faucet of the washing machine has been under the pressure of water. If there is a problem at the connection, it will be a disaster for the family.How can we avoid this problem?Make sure you use the faucet first. The common faucets on the market are generally divided into three types. Ordinary faucet, special faucet for washing machine, special faucet with water stop valve for washing machine.
Ordinary Faucet: this faucet does not have the interface of the water inlet pipe of the washing machine. If you want to use this as a special faucet of the washing machine, you need to add an adapter. It is not recommended to use this kind of faucet. The special faucet for washing machine is not very expensive, but it is much safer than ordinary faucet and adapter. Installation of ordinary Faucet: first of all, we need to screw down the plastic part of the professional head, and then retreat all four screws to the end in order to install the faucet. Then place the waterproof gasket and screw it about three times. Put the faucet mouth into the stainless steel ring, and fix the faucet mouth with screw. Tighten the four screws with a screwdriver. Make sure that the connector can be firmly stuck on the faucet. The four screws here must be tightened to ensure the fastening of the connection between the faucet and the adapter. Tighten the plastic joint hard and you’ll have it. After installation, be sure to hold the faucet and adapter and twist it to see if the connection is tight. Finally, connect the water inlet pipe of the washing machine with the adapter.
Special faucet for washing machine: the special faucet for washing machine is equipped with washing machine interface, which is used by most people. However, when purchasing, try to choose all copper materials, and pay special attention to the thickness of the joint mouth. The thickness of the interface determines the service life of the faucet. Note: after the faucet is installed, try pulling it up and down to ensure that the water inlet pipe is firmly stuck on the faucet.
Special faucet with stop valve for washing machine: this faucet with stop valve has the highest safety. In normal use, the stop valve does not work. If the connection between the inlet pipe and the faucet explodes due to excessive water pressure, the water stop valve of the faucet can immediately block the ejection of water, which can effectively prevent the home from becoming a large-scale seafood breeding site.
Precautions:
1. If the first faucet with adapter is used, it is recommended to check the condition of the faucet every other month. If any problem is found, it should be replaced in time.
2. If you don’t live at home for a long time, you must remember to cut off water and power.
3. If it is convenient, turn off the faucet after using the washing machine as much as possible. In this way, the water inlet pipe can not be opened due to excessive water pressure.
