Why is it in all of these videos the taps especially come apart very easily, I wouldn't mind a pound for everyone I've tried to take apart and it's been virtually impossible.
@HouseWarm Жыл бұрын
As a full-time plumber I would say the majority of taps come apart quite easily and only occasionally a nightmare. The reason they come apart easily in all the videos is because it would be stupid to upload a video of a nightmare job and you wouldn't even finish filming it

A lot of standard taps have the same standard cartridges. There's 2 different sizes of this one in the video and they fit a lot of taps. You can remove the cartridge and try to find it online, or take it to a plumbing merchants to try and match it up. Sometimes you have to contact the manufacturer, typically on fancy expensive taps.

Unless it's a bungalow, turning off stop tap isn't enough, open all taps in bathroom and flush toilet, also, if there's a downstairs toilet, flush that,otherwise when you strip tap down it'll piss out all over worktop.
@HouseWarm Жыл бұрын
@@keithdavies1395 this wasn't a bungalow and turning off the stoptap was enough. If the tap you're working on is downstairs then you should open a tap upstairs to let the water out the pipes. I've never heard of anyone doing what you're saying, definitely no need for all that
