In order to fix a kitchen faucet that is dripping from the neck, you should follow the nivito instructoions. You need to shut off the water under the sink. Next, you must cover the drain and remove the faucet's handle. It will be much easier to remove parts if you remove them in the correct order. To protect your fixtures, place duct tape on the parts that you are going to replace. If the dripping water is a sign of mineral deposits, try using distilled white vinegar or a soft scouring pad to clean the parts.Clean the seatOnce you have removed the stem, you should clean the seat and O-ring of the faucet. You can find them in the handles or in a premade repair kit. Be sure to purchase the right parts that fit your faucet. Then, clean and replace the seals. If you don't have them, you can purchase replacement kits that come with all the parts you need. If you have a ceramic disk faucet, you can purchase a replacement kit.If you don't have a faucet aerator, you may be able to find a temporary fix for the leak by removing the sprayhead. Next, you should use a 50/50 solution of white vinegar to clean the sprayhead. If that still doesn't solve the issue, you can try tightening the supply lines with a crescent wrench. Alternatively, you can use a Faucet Parts Catalog to identify the exact part you need for your faucet.Depending on the type of faucet, you may need to remove the handle first. To do this, you may need to remove the top screw cover with a hex key or Allen wrench. You may also need a toothless wrench to remove the cartridge. To remove the cartridge, you need to remove the spring and retaining clip. Then, you need to remove the ceramic bonnet and disk cylinder. If you're unable to remove the handle, you can replace the valve.Replace the faucet's cartridgeIf the faucet is leaking from the base, there's a good chance it's the O-rings that are causing the leak. A faulty O-ring or debris in the water supply connection can cause a leak. You can replace these O-rings or tighten the water supply connection with a wrench, but if this doesn't work, you'll need to replace the faucet's cartridge.Turn on the waterOnce you've removed the cartridge, you should use a 3/32 Allen wrench to loosen it. Then, you should use a small hammer to tap on the handle. If it doesn't, you may need to use a cartridge puller. When you're done, you should be able to turn on the water and see if the dripping has stopped.Contact a professional plumberThe next step in fixing a faucet leaking from the neck is to identify the leak's source. Most leaks can be fixed by changing the seals, washers, and O-rings. But if this is not possible, you should contact a professional plumber for the repair. A professional plumber will give you a free estimate before starting the repair process. You will need to purchase plumbing materials, so make sure you have enough time to complete the repair.
