I have 25 yr. old taps in a bathroom basin and the cold one has been leaking badly for several months. Previous plumbers have shied away but my current one is tackling the job. |

Subject: | Leaking kitchen faucet - Rubinet Raven model |
We have a very expensive, solid brass, single lever kitchen faucet, 6 years old. We are on a well with a water softener. The tap leaks from the body after every 2-3 years. I get a free replacement cartridge from Rubinet but this time the leak was worse when I replaced the cartridge. I had cleaned up the small deposits on the sealing surface with emery cloth, and used a small amount of silicone grease on reinstallation. I screwed down hard by hand the body of the tap but did not use a wrench as I didn't want to damage the antique brass finish. Please help. |

Hi
When I turn my tap the head started to spin loosely, I unscrewed the top and found that the thread on the spindle was completly worn. Can the spindles be replaced or would you have to buy a new set
of taps.
Thanks for any help

Subject: | dripping tap |
Any ideas welcome - my bathroom sink tap is dripping and I can't seem to take it apart. There is a small plastic cap at the top but when you take this off there isn't a screw underneath. There are no visible screws anywhere on the tap, even when you have the tap fully on. There doesn't seem to be any part to undo and I'm not sure what to try next. |

GMTSubject:Mixer tap
Hi, my kitchen taps use a swivelling mixer delivery pipe which leaks slightly at the base. On unscrewing and sliding away the threaded cowl, the mixer pipe may be lifted by about 5 mm to reveal a split grey rubber o-ring which obviously needs replacing. There is also a thicker black rubber ring lower down which looks OK. Unfortunately although the pipe is now very loose and floppy, I am unable to pull it from the base. I am reluctant to pull too hard lest I break something. Could you please advise? Regards Rich

When removing the ceramic cartridge from the hot tap, is the thread a left handed thread. I am having trouble removing it but don't want to put too much pressure on the spanner in case of damaging hex head of cartridge. Thnx |

of Taps
I am in an apartment, and the kitchen sink, bathroom sink an bathtub each have two taps, one for hot and one for cold. They all turn on and off in different directions. Is there a correct way they should turn. It seems to me that when I fixed taps in my house, they turned on towards the centre, and off towards the outside.

Subject: | on/off lever on ceramic tap goes slightly past its centre point |
When the tap is normally turned off it very slowly drips. However, if the lever is lined up with tap body it doesn't. Is ther a way of adjusting the lever so that it not only lines up but results
in being drip free. |

We have a leak coming from the shower in our mobile home, it's dripping from the underside of the lever and I'm unsure how to remove the lever to see what I can do to fix this. There is nothing as
annoying as listening to a drip falling onto the shower base! |

Good advice on garden taps which have eluded me for years. Having sorted the push fit connector out, the pressure caused a leak through the upper gland. Advice - pack with loads of PTFE tape. Thank you! |

I was checking on ceramic taps. It's a very useful piece all round with very detailed descriptions but the diagrams are very small and with insufficient labels to tie in with the text.
Thank you anyway.
