厨房の水漏れ！水栓修理は交換が早い理由とは？Emergency Response to Kitchen Water Leak! Why Replacing the Faucet Is the Fastest Solution

下部に英訳がありますThe English text is below.

飲食店のお客さんから「厨房の水栓が閉まらなくなって、水が止まらない」

と、いう問い合わせがあり訪問しました

よくあるのが、スピンドルの摩耗です

水栓を分解してみると
思った通りねじ山が経年劣化で削れています

この水栓は8年ほど使用していました

本体の方も調べてみると、案の定結構削れています

写真で見るとわかりますが
奥の方に見えているのが元の山の高さです

手前の方は結構削れています

こうなると本体ごと交換するのが最善の対処法となります

もう一つ、本体ごと交換する方がいい理由として
メーカーによってスピンドルの山が違うことがあります

最近では厨房専用水栓といって、山が急な種類があります

厨房用水栓とは、少ない回転動作で水量を確保するための水栓で
スピンドルの山が急になっています

飲食店の人に水栓の種類を判断してもらうのは不可能に近いし

一度訪問して調べて、部品を用意して後日訪問となると
日数も金額もかかってしまいます

それ以前に、水が止まらないという
緊急事態なので、確実に修理できる方法となると
水栓の交換が最適だと思います

今回も、水栓の交換にて無事修理完了です

A restaurant customer contacted us, saying,
“The kitchen faucet won’t shut off and the water won’t stop.”
We immediately visited the site.

One common cause of this issue is spindle wear.

When we disassembled the faucet, as expected,
the threads had been worn down over time.

This faucet had been in use for about eight years.

Upon inspecting the faucet body as well,
we found—unsurprisingly—that it was also quite worn.

You can see it clearly in the photos:
the part deeper inside shows the original thread height,
while the front area is noticeably worn down.

At this point, replacing the entire faucet body becomes the best course of action.

There’s another reason why full replacement is recommended:
different manufacturers have different thread shapes on their spindles.

Recently, there are also “kitchen-specific faucets” designed with steeper threads.
These are made to allow full water flow with fewer turns of the handle,
meaning the spindle threads are much steeper.

It’s nearly impossible to expect restaurant staff
to accurately identify the type of faucet they have.

If we had to visit once to inspect, order the right parts, and then visit again,
it would cost more time and money.

Moreover, in an emergency where water won’t stop flowing,
the surest and quickest solution is to replace the entire faucet.

This time too, we successfully completed the repair by replacing the faucet.
