Did you buy a kitchen tap extender, but aren’t sure how to install it?
Don't worry, installing a kitchen tap extender is quick, tool-free, and doesn’t require a plumber. In just a few minutes, you can upgrade your kitchen tap for better reach, controlled water flow, and reduced splashing.
In this blog, we'll walk you through a simple step-by-step installation process and help you choose the best kitchen tap extender for your home needs.
What is a Kitchen Tap Extender?
A tap extender is a small attachment that fits directly onto your existing kitchen tap. It transforms a regular tap into a multi-functional water-saving device without any permanent plumbing changes.
Many modern tap extenders also come with swivel rotation, multiple spray modes, and built-in filters, making everyday kitchen tasks easier and cleaner.
How to Install a Kitchen Tap Extender in 3 Simple Steps
Follow these simple steps to install the tap extender correctly.
Step 1: Remove the Old Aerator
Do you see a small mesh screen at the tip of the tap? That's the aerator. Grip firmly and turn it counterclockwise to loosen it. If it feels tight, wrap a dry cloth around it to get a better grip or a spanner and turn slowly. Once you remove the aerator, Clean out any sediment or debris trapped inside.
Step 2: Attach the Tap Extender
Align the extender's threads with your tap opening and turn clockwise to tighten. After securing it, test the swivel joint by rotating it gently. It should move freely and smoothly if you've installed it right.
Step 3: Test the Water Flow
Switch on the water and ensure the extender connection is tight with no leaks. Once you confirm, rotate the nozzle to test different spray modes. For example, with RiverSoft tap extenders, you can use the rain mode for rinsing vegetables, the foam mode for washing dishes, and the jet spray to remove stubborn stains from the sink.
That's it! If the nozzle rotates smoothly and there are no leaks, the installation is complete.
Pro-Tip: If the aerator is stuck, wrap a dry cloth around it and twist slowly. Still stuck? Apply a bit of vinegar around the edges, wait 5 minutes, and try again. And if it's still stuck, use a wrench as a final option, but don't force it, as you may damage the tap.
