How to Fix a Leaky Faucet (Ball-Type Single Lever Faucet Repair)
To make a quick fix of your Ball Type Faucet, proceed as follows:
Step 1: Take the faucet apart and remove the ball assembly/lever.
Step 2: Carefully remove the spring loaded rubber seals
found in the concave bowl in the body of the faucet
which held the ball assembly.
Remove the rubber O-Ring.
Step 3: Clean the ball of any mineral deposits found on
it so that it is smooth and clean.
Step 4: Rub VasolineĀ® or other petroleum jelly into the
O-Ring and the rubber seals to relieve their dryness
and make them more supple.
Step 5: Stretch the springs just a bit to increase the
spring pressure they will exert on the rubber seals.
Step 6: Make sure the bowl in the faucet body is clean.
Clean any threads of food debris or soap gunk or
mineral deposits so the threads will seat properly.
Step 7:
Reassemble in the reverse order you took the
faucet apart.
