How to Tighten a Loose Single-Hole Faucet
If you have a single-hole faucet that’s wobbly or leaking, it’s crucial to tighten it promptly to prevent further damage. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you tighten a loose single-hole faucet:
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary tools handy. You’ll typically need an adjustable wrench, screwdriver, plumber’s tape, and a rag for cleaning up any spills.
Step 2: Turn Off the Water Supply
Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn off the hot and cold water supply before starting any work.
Step 3: Examine the Faucet
Inspect the faucet to identify the source of the looseness. It could be a loose base, handles, or a worn-out cartridge that needs replacing.
Step 4: Tighten the Faucet Base
Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the mounting nut beneath the sink to secure the faucet base in place.
Step 5: Secure the Handles
If the handles are loose, use a screwdriver to tighten the screws located under the decorative caps.
Step 6: Reassemble and Test
Once everything is tightened, reassemble any parts you removed, turn on the water supply, and check for leaks.
By following these simple steps, you can tighten a loose single-hole faucet and restore functionality to your sink.
