is worth only «potech crane», how many of us have taken to write the note Plumber or catch the phone. In most cases, however, quickly and accurately correct breakage can we do.

Who does not enjoy the water? Estimated that one person is 315 liters of water per day. If the valve leak in the apartment, for example, if the flowing thick plume of the match, it goes for 270 liters per day of lost water.
And water is not simple: the Light, destroying micro-organisms, and reduced the pressure applied to the water supply. Well, if the hot water tap is broken, the same notorious trickle - it is the loss of 105 conditional gigajoule of heat per year. We will not transfer Gigajoules to other units, but only assume that these 270 liters, or about 30 buckets of water, we would have to warm up every day at a gas or electric stove …
However, the diversion of water affecting the negligent residents. Vodichka washed ruslitsa in the saddle tap or brass shell mixer, and very soon they have to replace.

Valve repair is often much easier than changing it, so every home should be a master to learn this simple design.
Head vvorachivaetsya to most taps and mixers, which are in our kitchens and bathrooms. Head - this is like a screw with a nut. The role played by a nut shell, the screw serves as a spindle. Closing the valve, we vvorachivaem screw into the nut, the spindle presses the valve with a gasket to the saddle shell tap or mixer, blocking the water.
Before we get to repair the crane, be sure to perekroyte water valve. It is usually installed in an apartment in the toilet. At the gardens can be found at the site of the main branches of the aqueduct. However, in modern apartment can be individual valves for each valve on each head mixer. In this case, look for them under the sink, wash basin, the gas column.
So, the water is blocked. Before you turn away the head, slightly open the valve to mahovichok with spindle slightly away from the saddle.
The easiest way to wrest the head sliding, or the so-called natural gas, the key, but the fit and the wrench size.
Repairs are finished, take the ball in the left arm, and removing the old seal from the groove, put Pryadko flax in the direction of circular arrow. Pryadko for a new seal can be done to soak flax rope, sacking and yarn fine. When the seal takes the form of conical shape, wet it with water to the fiber developed.
Head can be put into place. Before opening the valve, wrap mahovichok so that the gasket securely blocked the saddle.
As head of the crane repairs may require four things: gasket, valve stem with a screw fastening mahovichka or hub flange.
Experienced plumber, not down the cock, knows what is required for repairs.

Gaskets

If the faucet leaks potek and continues for several days, even when fully vkruchennom spindle, the laying of blame. She harden or wear, such as its sharp edges could cut the saddle.
Vyvernite Remove the head and the screw, fastening the gasket by the way, the screw is no longer needed. Easy to use pads, which millimeter diameter greater than that of the slot valve. This is quite enough for laying firmly kept in the nest. The protruding edge of the new pads scissors to cut a circle around 45 °.
Sometimes you do not need to replace the gasket, but the repairs required. Often you can hear the pipes «roar». Fault is the same gasket, but to fix it, you need only remove the head of a crane and, again, cut the edge in serving the construction surrounded.
If the shops «Sanitary Ware» buy gasket fails, it can make itself: you need only find a piece of sheet rubber maximum hardness. Microporous rubber is not suitable, because too soft, too hard plastics. Sometimes the cause is served his sole century shoes.
Finding striped rubber, put it on a wooden plate, and cut its target for the diameter of a sharp knife, as if you cut the bread into slices. It is not a circle, a polygon with a large number of parties.
Better yet, do prosechku of a steel tube, one end of which must be imprisoned for emery. The inner diameter of the tube must match the diameter of pads, wall thickness from 1,5 to 3 mm in length - 60-170 mm. To prosechka less tupilas, the strip of rubber podlozhite board of soft wood. Striking a hammer on the end tupomu prosechki can be cut down to two or three pads. Extrude them to any convenient metal rod, which will take place within prosechki.
If possible prosechku best vytochit lathe, a hole in this case is not cutting. Side carved recess through which the pads will be removed.

VALVE

Sometimes, if the crane is not new, it might be that vykroshilis wall socket, the valve. If damaged more than half the circumference, the valve can not be repaired. Laying in that box is not centered, and fidget in the saddle, and as a result of tap is dripping.
Sometimes the valve is able to buy at the store, you can vytochit his brass lathe. In this case, it is important to make a so-called undercut - the diameter of the bottom of the slots should be at 1 - 1.5 mm larger than the diameter of the edge of the nest, but laying hold securely, and without a propeller. The easiest way to move the valve from the old heads, which always has a home on the farm thrifty master.
When we screw head, the valve can remain in the saddle mixer. To get it, you can use tweezers or a wire hook. Not worth rasklepav opening drive of the tail valve: a valve specially laid down in the hole rolling to evenly wear pad. As to that valve is not excluded from the spindle, when we put the head on the ground?
Podmotayte a little tail on a flax and paste it into a force of the spindle. Threads flax and will soon razotrutsya with water.

Spindle

There are times that from the tap hleschet powerful jet of water, but could not close the valve: mahovichok freely provorachivaetsya with spindle. Blocking the water, gets the ball. You make sure that multiple threads of the outer end of spindle threads erased from mahovichka. If the valve is common for an apartment, so that you can access it with water until the opportunity to repair, wrap the head in place and pribintuyte mahovichok by filing its maximum forward.
On the outside of the spindle was still serviceable plot threads. It can be used, is set in the slot gasket with a minimum thickness of 6 mm. This pad is difficult to find, so try to pick up washers total thickness of 1,5-3 mm. The outer and inner diameters of washers shall conform to the diameter of tail and slot valve. A radical solution to the problem - this is the replacement of the spindle: remove lids mahovichka, vyvernite screw, remove mahovichok slightly vyvernite sleeve flange. The new spindle wrap carefully, often carved spindle does not coincide with the shell carving heads. Even easier to replace the entire head.
Cope with the rebellious screw that does not allow to replace the spindle, it is not easy. Try it in this case, insert a screwdriver into the slot and screw a few times to hit a little hammer. Screw can not be even in this case, then vyvernite head and break mahovichok hammer. Now you can turn away the screw with pliers. However, to replace the spindle, just off the head of the screw.
Sometimes the screw breaks, and at a good spindle. Fracture whittle files to a plane. Lurch to the center, vysverlite hole in the spindle and cut it in a new thread (usually the M5). To not screw rzhavel immediately after purchase vyvernite his head, and wrap back smazhte.
