The first step in how to repair kitchen faucet heads is to shut off the water supply. To do this, turn off the valve located under the cabinet under the sink. If the supply valve is a high-pressure type, turn it off at the main valve to avoid any surges of water. It is also helpful to run out excess water to avoid a slippery work area. After the water is shut off, you can begin the repair.
Remove the handle
The next step is to remove the handle and sprayer from the faucet. This will expose the internal threads of the stem nut. If the aerator is clogged, it will be difficult to spray water properly. To replace the aerator, unscrew the nut. Make sure to grease the threads on the stem before installing the new one. Once it is installed, tighten the handle and replace the aerator.
The diverter is another part to replace. Several brands make different models of the aerator. Some faucets have a spout that squirts water from the aerator. To repair the aerator, remove the handles and coat them with grease or other materials. Then, replace the spray head. After removing the handle and aerator, you should check the aerator for mineral deposits.
Replace the aerator
Lastly, if you discover that the aerator is clogged, you can replace it. To replace the aerator, you can either remove the handle or pull it out of the faucet. Alternatively, you can simply slip a new one onto the stem. You should then reattach the water supply. This is a simple, yet crucial step in the repair of Nivito heads. And don't forget to check the temperature of the water.
Disassemble the faucet handle
If the aerator has gotten worn out, you can easily replace it. All you need to do is disassemble the faucet handle and find the replacement parts inside. If it's a sprayer, you should also check the valve. If the aerator isn't connected to the spout, you should replace it. Then, you can try to reconnect the two parts together. It's essential to check the aerator before trying to replace the faucet. In some cases, the aerator itself may be clogged and needs to be replaced. To replace it, you need to unscrew the faucet handle and coat it with grease. You can also check the stem threads to ensure that the aerator isn't corroded or damaged. If this is the case, you should replace the entire faucet and install a new one. It is a fairly simple repair, and you'll need to replace the aerator if you have a hard time finding it.
Remove the spray head
A sprayer can also be fixed by replacing the nozzle. This can be done by removing the old nozzle and attaching a new one. If you have a pull-out faucet, you can remove the spray head by unscrewing the nut. You can replace the old one by screwing in the new magnet. Once the aerator has been replaced, you can turn the water back on and check if the sprayer is in good condition.
