The answer is that we don\u2019t need to. When installing there is a nut on the facet that allows the person installing the tap handle to face the correct orientation. Simply thread the tap handle on to the faucet a few turns so it\u2019s facing the right way. Then rotate the lock nut to tighten to the bottom of the tap handle. Never over tighten the tap handle as this can cause damage or cause the tap handle threads to seize on the faucet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/designyourtap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tap-handle-rotate.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119\" width=\"334\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/designyourtap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tap-handle-rotate.png 428w, https:\/\/designyourtap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tap-handle-rotate-196x300.png 196w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><figcaption>Step 1: Screw the tap handle onto the faucet facing the correct orientation<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/designyourtap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tap-handle-lock-nut-1024x477.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/designyourtap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tap-handle-lock-nut-1024x477.png 1024w, https:\/\/designyourtap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tap-handle-lock-nut-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/designyourtap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tap-handle-lock-nut-768x358.png 768w, https:\/\/designyourtap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tap-handle-lock-nut.png 1196w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Step 2: Tighten the lock nut to the tap handle<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wonder how we install the threads to make the tap handles all face the correct orientation.
