5. Instruccions de funcionament
Operating the Everbilt Sillcock is straightforward:
- Per obrir: Rotate the handle counter-clockwise until the desired water flow is achieved.
- Tancar: Rotate the handle clockwise until the water flow stops completely. Ensure the handle is snug but do not overtighten.
Important for Frost Protection:
For the frost-proof feature to function correctly, ensure that any hose connected to the sillcock is removed before freezing temperatures are expected. This allows the water inside the sillcock's barrel to drain out, preventing freezing and potential damage.
6. Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and proper function of your sillcock:
- Hivernització: Before the first freeze, disconnect all hoses from the sillcock. This is crucial for the frost-proof design to work effectively. The internal valve is located inside the heated portion of your wall, and the water in the barrel drains out when the handle is closed and the hose is removed.
- Comprovació de fuites: Periodically inspect the sillcock for any signs of leaks, especially around the handle and hose connection point.
- Neteja: Clean the exterior of the sillcock with a mild soap and water solution as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the brass finish.
- Funcionament de la maneta: If the handle becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the stem packing nut (if accessible and designed for lubrication).
