[@michaelc247]

Thank you very much for this video - it helped me carry out the task successfully: 3 factors helped: 1. The excellent video, even with a US faucet/tap with a couple of differences. The cartridge had the 2 little plugs on the bottom to align and the hot/cold rotator thingee that goes on the cartridge also had 2 plugs to align on the cartridge itself. Also, there was no o-ring or washer inside like in the video, but after taking everything out, cleaning all the parts and putting them back in, the leaking stopped. 2. The tip from other commenters to use a rubber jar opener to loosen the ring. 3. Serendipity; I had some to squirt some WD40 in order to loosen the nut holding the handle in place, as I could not turn the Allen key at first. Also, I did not put back the top ring and screw in the handle nut immediately, just as well as I had not aligned the cartridge, rotator thingee correctly at first, so I adjusted, tried again and all was well. Then I screwed everything back in place.

[@dereton33]

Pleased you sorted it ok Micheal.

[@PLopez1951]

Thank you for your excellent video! I was able to repair our faucet (tap) by using a bit of plumbers tape to increase the seal between the plastic o-ring and the faucet, where it swivels at the base. Again many thanks, as it saved my engaging a plumber for what is truly a minor job that even I could repair in under 15 minutes.

[@dereton33]

Glad it helped!

[@chaigtin259]

Thanks for your hint! I did the same thing here for the rubber seals at the base of my Price Pfister kitchen sink tap: I found that covering them with a few wraps of teflon tape also helped the overall faucet move more freely and also stopped some slight drips getting out. For me that was happening due to the interior of the cylindrical part of the faucet having become slightly corroded (with the chrome plating wearing off to reveal a copper surface underneath, so the rubber ring was probably no longer making nice even contact, allowing a few drips to squeeze out at the base of the tap when it was turned on). With the teflon tape added over the rubber seals, that slight drip when the tap was turned on stopped completely for me. As a plus, the faucet is also no longer stiff to move from left to right! So it seems like this simple fix is working great, thanks for the hint! Perhaps using teflon tape also makes the rubber seal last longer? There would be less friction within the cylindrical part when moving the faucet from left to right, so less risk of the seals getting "shredded". I wonder why more plumbing channels don't recommend using teflon tape over these rubber seals? Perhaps it helps increase the sales of the replacement rubber seals?

Thank you for your help with this problem. We have the same tap and hubby was averting the job because he thought you had to tackle the problem from under the sink. Now I know better and will probably do the job myself.

No problem

[@busyb0695]

Very good video on disassembling a tap. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to me the white nylon washer looks like a sort of bearing ring that facilitates the tap rotating. I don't think it seals the tap. If the blue layer of the cartridge makes good contact no water should ever get as far as the white ring.

[@dereton33]

Thanks for the info!. You could be right.

[@mikedalakis5292]

Thank you for an excellent video which shows the insides of these sink mixer taps and how to take them apart. However, I must pull you up on one thing regarding the cause of the leak: It's not failure of the white washers/spacers that cause these types of leaks (some taps don't even have them). Instead, it's failure of the black o-rings which are at top and bottom of the swing tap section. If they fail to seal properly, water will come out from either the top or bottom of the swing section (depending on which seal has failed). As you point out, dirt is often the culprit and a clean out can fix such leaks.

[@dereton33]

Thanks

[@tirzaht]

Thanks for the help! After watching your video, I fixed the issue! The problem was the plastic nut that holds the cartridge in place...it was pretty loose. I tightened it up and it seems to be behaving now! :)

They make a wrench for car oil filters that instead of using a metal band to grip, they use an adjustable rubber band that fits any size. It's called a Rubber Strap Wrench. About £3 ($6).

[@sweetczz]

[@robbiepearce7909]

Thanks for the friendly help there! I really wish we had some form of shut off valve for our hot water, it looks like I’m going to need to empty the whole cylinder before I can get in to check out these o-rings. How common is it these days to install shut off valves on each faucet in a home? I feel like that would save a lot of sanity being able to just isolate before a tap haha

[@dereton33]

It is a common thing these days.

[@cliffcarlo180]

I had the same problem with a similar tap. I used a strap wrench to avoid scratching the chrome with a spanner. As you say Al the top parts only need to be hand tight and the strap wrench worked a treat.

[@dereton33]

Thanks for the extra info Cliff. Hope you are keeping well.

[@cliffcarlo180]

No worries Al. Hope the two of you are also keeping well.

[@62Cristoforo]

Canadian here, with the exact same problem. I suspected both upper and lower leaks were the result of a build up of lime (scale). Out water in Toronto is very hard, 7 grains, I think, and we require water softeners to prevent the build up of scale inside kettle, clothes irons, water heaters, steam irons and shower and kitchen faucets. The O-rings no longer made a complete seal with the build up of scale on them

[@dereton33]

Limescale is a tap destroyer. We have hard water in London and the south east.

I'm back here again, my leaky tap is a bit different, it has a two 1/4 turn taps and I'm going to change the cartridges in those to see if that solves the problem. I can see the the cold one leaking quite a lot, and I have not got a "Round2it" till now its causing a puddle in that mess under the sink. I'm just hoping that a pair of new cartridges solves the problem as I dont want to have to replace the tap. Its a nightmare under there ... the kitchen was fitted by a pair of bodgers and one of them thought he was a plumber. So its a complete hideous mess of Polypipe and right angled joiners. But great to see your videos again.

[@dereton33]

Good luck with it Tony.

[@TonyEarlsTrinityLawns]

@@dereton33 Yesterday was not a good day .. everything I touched came back to bite me. I ordered a couple of cartridges from screwfix but they were not the right ones when I picked them up. I was studying the original valve in my van, when I dropped it from my hand down the back of the seat in my brand new Transit. Ollocks! I could not reach it, I was in Stevenage and I was nowhere near home. I had to source one of those flexible grabby things .. I ordered one from Tool Station ... Got there ... no they didnt have one in stock. But! There was a very helpful plumbing supply next door ... So I bought another couple of cartridges that looked right. (from photo) + a complete new tap with flexi hoses and olives etc just in case. I managed to get a grabby think from Letchworth Tool Station and rescued the original valve in a jiff. Back home .. They still were the wrong valves :( My luck changed this morning when I went down the road to my local plumb shop (I don't know why I didn't go there first) And they sorted me out, not exactly the same ones, but good enough. Went home and changed both cartridges in 5 minutes. Thanks for your video and I would underline that there are only about 50,000 different cartridges out there to choose from.

This is wonderful...I appreciate the detailed explanation for a layman (or woman) such as myself. I have a question though please since I do sometimes have bad luck when I'm full of good intentions and have the confidence to attempt repairs myself ..You said that it would be very unlikely to find a washer "that size"..so in that case what should I do ? I think that that may well be my problem. The tap is about 2 years old and leaking from the base constantly. Hope to hear back Thank you and Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦. 🙂

[@dereton33]

You can try local plumbing stores in Canada, or just good old Amazon. There are so many different types of washers you may end up with ones that do not fit.

Like you, if this was on my own tap I would have a go at repairing it because I'm a tight arse.

Hi Great video BUT I have removed the cover and then I cant find a hole to insert the Allen Key. Used a torch to look but there appears to be nowhere to insert the Allen Key into. I have rotated the handle so the hole is looking at different parts of the inside but luck in finding a slot for the key. Surely there must be something holding the handle in place?

[@dereton33]

It may be just a push fit one, try pulling upwards. If no luck try tapping it upwards with a light hammer. Make sure the hole is not covered by a chrome cap, or hot or cold dot.

Does that part have a washer that I can replace, or do I have to get a whole new tap? ANYONE.??

Hey, Al! Just out of interest. What hat is your most hated tap design, repair/service? I had a problem with a glass bowled, mono, lever, waterfall bath tap. Could not for the life of me get the chrome top screw plate off to get to the cartridge. The blessed thing was seized tight and the angle of the glass bowl frustrated me no end. It dripped for ages, but that was the start of the problem. The flexis supplied in the box were about 500mm long and were tightly bent over in the packaging and strapped tight with an elastic band. I reckon the rubber inner was stressed/fatigued being held in a kinked position during transit (probably all the way from China) Eventually perished, fine misting spray through the metal braided outer sheath. Even worse. The tap was located 1/2 way along the back, long length of the bath and both ends were butted against end walls. Had to cut plasterboard off bedroom wall on other side to get to the darn thing to swap it.

[@dereton33]

I had the same tap in the same position on my bath, the flexis also leaked on mine luckily, I was able to get under the void underneath the bath and replace them. By the way I think they are the worse taps to repair. Never again.

I would have used one of those rubber band type wrenches on the chrome bits like you remove the car oil filter cartridge to shift it without damaging it😉.

[@dereton33]

They would not have budged it. Tried them a long time ago.

[@johngoard8272]

@@dereton33 Yep I guess it depends on how old the tap is eh? as some of the older ones could be quite solid.

[@philipoakley5498]

Rubber band instead of the dish cloth. Grips better and the sharp bits of the 'spanner' don't cut through.

[@dereton33]

Good tip!

[@ratchriat1716]

is not easy to find a original washer for any tap the you end up buying a new tap why the manufactures they dont supply extra washer or o ring enjoyed the video.

[@dereton33]

Thanks Ratch, you are about right there.

[@passionWOC]

Im in Home Depot, what's the name of the tool used? What type of wrench?

[@dereton33]

I have a link to the right tools, but a basin spanner is the one.

[@CarlosMossman21]

Snapped the very top plastic part trying to pry it apart after removing the grub screw!

[@dereton33]

O dear.

[@colintaylor1489]

Thank you. Saved me $sss

[@dereton33]

No problem Colin.

[@davesworld1972]

what do I do when the alan key screw won't move?

[@dereton33]

Spray with WD 40 leave over night. If no joy, then drill it out. Use a larger self tapping screw to fit back.
