Re: Fix Lecking Tap

Hello @Mark7777 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your tapware.

 

I suggest having a look at these discussions - How to remove leaking laundry tap handle? by @ennoh and How do I remove theses tap handles? by @LisaD. You'll see good examples of how to remove your tap handle. In regards to changing the washer, I recommend looking at this guide - How to replace a tap washer.

 

Once the handle is removed, the next piece is the cover flange followed by the spindle itself.  You then change the jumper valve to a new one and re-assemble the tap in reverse order. But if it is ceramic spindle, you'll need to replace it with a similar item. Please make sure to bring the old ceramic spindle with you to make sure you get the correct size.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
