Hello. Please tell me how you deal with the topic of tightening the hoses to the washbasin faucet. Namely, when we tighten the hoses and the key holder sticks out above the batteries, the usual key 11 and after the party - and the problem is with tightening the spike as the thread is so deep in...

Brush the o-rings at the end of the tube with petroleum jelly. By turning the hose, you screw it practically to the end of the thread, the tightness is ensured by the mentioned O-rings.

I know what's in the end but it's not a 100% solution. I have already exchanged dozens - hundreds of snakes and now I hit such batteries with the threads were 8 cm deep. The client calls that it is dripping and I think it may leak there because I tightened by hand, otherwise it could not be.

There are hoses with a long end to screw in, then the hexagonal key is fully visible.

I saw a maximum of 5 cm of this tip and here is a distance of approx. 8 cm

Maybe you have an old pipe wrench, put it on the hose (I did it once), tighten it, it will stay there until unscrewing, sometime.

Good idea - you will go bankrupt with the keys with this option.

And how many batteries of this type do you install to make you bankrupt? Such a key made in China can be bought for pennies, and the cost can be added to the customer for the service and after the trouble.

So two keys for one battery Whatever the patent is, there is no such thing.

You can screw these hoses in before you put the faucet in the sink, what's the problem? You can tighten sensitively with pliers or even with your hand close to the body. If the O-ring is not damaged, it cannot leak. What wonderful method do you expect? If you are professionally involved in such things, you know that on average twice a day you have to do something to finish the job without the need for corrections, which is good.

It is normal to screw the hoses in before installing the batteries Cool topic, I think it has been exhausted. Greetings

Hello.
Please tell me how you deal with the topic of tightening the hoses to the washbasin faucet. Namely, when we tighten the hoses and the key holder sticks out above the batteries, the usual key 11 and after the party - and the problem is with tightening the spike as the thread is so deep in the middle of the battery that even the wires with such a long metal tip and finally the key holder hide inside and no key will come up. Do you have any redesigned keys? How to catch the tab inside to tighten it? Help me because I have no idea.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the challenges of tightening hoses to a washbasin faucet, particularly when dealing with deep threads that complicate the use of standard tools. Users suggest various solutions, including applying petroleum jelly to O-rings for better sealing, using hoses with longer ends for easier access, and employing old pipe wrenches for a secure grip. There is a consensus that pre-installing hoses before mounting the faucet can simplify the process. The conversation highlights the importance of ensuring tightness to prevent leaks, especially when working with deep-threaded fittings.
