In the article below, you can find a little useful information about how to perform minor plumbing at home with your own hands, and more specifically about the repair and adjustment of steel cranes.
In case of damage to the crane saddle, tightness is instantly reduced, so you need to put a special cap located inside the saddle. Thus, this laying significantly improves tightness. However, there are negative aspects – this is, first of all, the fact that when opening the crane, a little more revolutions of the latter will be required.
The main reason for the sequel or jamming of the nut of the crane head is a lime scale formed in hard water. To remove this scale, you need to lower the head into vinegar or citric acid. Then you can again install it on the crane, pre -lubricate the thread with oil or a special solution.
If the crane, simply, proceeds, the so-called “crying crane”, then you need to check the tightness around the omentum. First you need to tighten the nut for half a turn, then, if the leak does not stop, you need to unscrew the nut and add a special tape to the stuffing to improve the tightness.
In order not to arise unforeseen situations, it is better to keep a few spare gaskets for the crane at home. Larger gaskets – for cranes in the bathroom, and smaller ones for the rest.
Well, perhaps, all the main secrets of cranes.
And finally, I would like to say that it is better to entrust repairs and installation to professionals, in order to avoid unforeseen situations, damage to their furniture and furniture of neighbors.
Good repairs to you.
