What is the right viscosity of a silicone grease to lubricate between the ceramic-discs of single lever mixer faucet? NLGI-00,NLGI 1,NLGI 2 etc.
Thanks.

Have you checked the manufacturer's documentation on what the proper product to use is? That would be my starting point.– jwh20Oct 14, 2019 at 13:58

Hello, and welcome to Home Improvement. It's a little hard to understand your post; would you spend a little time fixing capitalization and sentences, and splitting it into a paragraph or two? And, you should probably take our tour so you'll know how best to participate here.– Daniel GriscomOct 14, 2019 at 18:54

Why do you feel you need to break open that unit and "lubricate between the ceramic-discs that are located inside the plastic cartridge of a single lever mixer faucet." ? I would assume that if the manufacturer wanted you to do that they would have given you the instruction and info to do it. ? Potable or Portable ?– Alaska ManOct 14, 2019 at 19:27

1Silicone grease is silicone grease, if there were a special requirement, the manufacturer's documents and/or website would be the place to look. Some brands even use Teflon lubricants... the only thing that usually matters, is that it be an approved food grade lubricant.– tahwosOct 15, 2019 at 1:16
