Step 5

  • Here you see the removed socket. Note the double O-rings.
  • Open the valve To do this, the slot at the upper end must be twisted a little, then the inside comes out. Check the spring, the valve stem and the two seals. When assembling, pay attention to the correct position of the valve stamp: it must point to the water inlet side, otherwise the valve will not open!
  • Replace the seals on the nozzle and lightly grease them with food grade silicone grease.
