Depends on the faucet. The dome that the handle comes out of most likely comes apart where the curve meets the straight part of the faucet. On some, the whole piece comes off and the handle is held on with a nut under the dome. Most have a ring of ridges around the center piece to grip it. It will come apart where it is supposed to. If the faucet has leaked much the cap will most likely be corroded in place. It wouldn't hurt to spray the faucet with some lubricant such as WD-40 or other penetrating lubricant the day before you try to take it apart.
I have always used a faucet wrench with the 'floppy' end. -Only occasionally find one impossible, in which case i carefully cut it off from the top with a disc grinder. If you do this, be extremely careful you don't touch the sink or tub with it.
Single and two handled faucets are different in the exact mechanism but the overall process is the same. Inside of the faucet there is a valve that diverts water from the main spout to the sprayer. Squeezing the sprayer handle opens its valve, releases pressure in the faucet, and diverts water to the sprayer.It sounds like this internal valve is jammed or broken.Call the manufacturer. I had this problem in the kitchen and Moen (the maker) provided directions on how to fix it. They can also direct you to a source for the parts.Visit a plumbing supply store. If you go during the less busy times of the day (late morning before lunch for example) they will often take the time to work with you.Replace the faucet.
Take it apart and replace the main seal.
Low water pressure in an outside faucet could be caused by a clog in the faucet, a leak in the water line, a faulty pressure regulator, or a problem with the main water supply.
The main types of shower faucet available in the market are single-handle, double-handle, thermostatic, and digital.
A side faucet on a kitchen sink provides convenience and flexibility for tasks such as filling pots, rinsing dishes, and washing produce. It can also help to keep the main faucet area free for other uses.
Single thread means that the processor will wait until one 'process' is complete before it opens a new thread or 'process'. Multi-thread can handle multiple threads simultaneously making it faster and more responsive.
easy fix if you haven't already fixed it....take the main part of the faucet apart so all you have is the long threaded tubing with the faucet housing. turn it upside down and look into the threaded tube and you will see a water restricter that is built into the water feed. it has a small rubber washer that is visible and is orangish yellow. Take a screw driver smaller than the tube and punch it thru the restrictor to dis-lodge the restricter. remove as much as the left over pieces of the restricter as you can. do your best to cup your hand over the other end of the faucet and blow as much out as you can. re-assemble the faucet and turn on your water and walla! high water pressure...ps. dont turn the hot and cold on full or you will be taking a bath!! I dont know, but I have the same problem. Please help somebody!!!! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Different person responding here. Well after quit a bit of work, my father finally found the cause of the slow water flow. It was saw dust in the connection between the faucet and supply lines. We cleaned it out and now it works like it should. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ We have gravity-fed water supply with about 12psi; PF kitchen faucet ran poorly, but flow was acceptable in all other faucets. Fixed kitchen faucet by removing spray diverter valve and plugging spray fitting: rust had gotten into valve.
An anti-siphon valve on an outdoor faucet prevents water from flowing back into the main water supply, which helps to prevent contamination of the water system.
Shut of the water to the faucet. If a local shut off is not present then the main house shut off will have to be used, or the cutoff at the meter. unless plastic pipe is used then the faucet screws onto the water pipe. It will probably take a pipe wrench on the pipe and the faucet to break it free. use Teflon tape to cover the pipe threads before screwing on the new faucet. Turn the water back on and check for leaks.
The best bet is call a parts store and ask them if they show/stock a replacement part, or parts. I have seen them located in the main fuse block housing ( electrical bosch style)under the hood and also I have seen unit's that are threaded in the bottom of the radiator.
