How to I reconnect this tap handle?

How do I reconnect this? They're forever falling off! I'm over calling a plumber out for it. They giggle at me everytime! 😆

Re: How to I reconnect this tap handle?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Bec2335. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about installing a tap handle.

You need the tool in this Kinetic Spout And Handle Repair Kit. It's used to undo the compression ring in the handle, which I've circled below. It will look similar to the ones in the kit. Once removed, you slide the ring over the tap spindle shaft and then push the handle on. Push the ring back up the shaft and screw it into the back of the handle with the tool. This secures the handle in place. Since it keeps coming off, you might like to try adding some Thread locker to the end of the spindle and the threads on the ring. If the ring is backing off and undoing during use, this might prevent that from happening.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
