How to Replace Shower Tap Washers - Australia

[@reddevil78910]

No talking no intro ,just got to the point and very helpfull cheers mate

[@austomj]

Thank you for not playing loud annoying music in the background!

[@haroldgeorge4222]

Ya that music bugs me too. LOL 😆

[@crazygrandma6366]

Thankyou. Quoted $400 to change 4 washers by a plumber. This way it will only cost me the tools and washers.. I am so grateful for this basic step by step video and as a single person it has helped my bank account. Once again Thankyou

[@helenharder1955]

Thanks so much for this, I’m a single mum and was able to fix both my shower taps without calling a plumber. God bless.❤️

[@bushwalker6214]

Plumbers must hate this video!

[@Miawallce80]

Same here I’m flat broke and it’s Easter weekend so I’m gonna try it myself 😊

[@tessi-annroberts1983]

Single lady here but I don't know the name of the tools used😢😢😢

[@karmicselling4252]

The tool used is called a Tube Socket Spanner. Available in a range of shapes and sizes from local Hardware Stores. Common shapes are Hex or Square. Typical sizes for taps range from 15mm to 25mm. Most modern taps use Metric sizes. Older taps used Imperial sizes.Always confirm the correct shape and size before using the tool otherwise fittings can be damaged. Always rotate the fitting in the correct direction. Normally, Anti-clockwise to loosen. Clockwise to tighten. But always check. Never apply too much force. If the fitting seems to be very tight or stuck, apply a rust remover like WD-40 or CRC, wait a few hours, and then try to remove it. If it won't budge, try using a larger lever with the tool. If it still won't move call a Professional. A broken fitting in-situ is very difficult to fix and will usually require a plumber to repair the damage.

[@CheesyPumbah]

Dumbest design. Can’t tighten with typical household tools.

[@airbnbgirllaura]

You've saved me hours of searching online for "tube wrench plumbers use." Be blessed!

[@Ankitsharma-ht7kk]

Thank you so much for this information.you saved me a lot of time

[@CleverCreatives]

Thank you for posting this. I followed your video and was able to replace my shower tap today. Saves me having to wait for the plumber and landlord, and in the process lost time at work.

[@earthsister1]

Fabulous educational resource, we should have been taught these practical life skills in school. Thanks for sharing

[@spathi3309]

Seems like the kind of thing parents should pass on.

[@DV-zv4ox]

Great video, straight into it with no silly music. I suggest using a high quality valve instead of the cheap plastic one you get in the tap kit (something from Fix-a-tap is a good place to start). It will last much longer and provide a nice "soft" feel when opening and turning the tap off. Cheers!

[@MissShazJones]

Thank you for sharing. I thought I'd have to call someone out on the weekend when my tap popped off and fell into the sink last night, but this video made it so easy to fix myself. I would've been clueless without it. Much appreciated!

[@alinedeleandro123]

Thank you. You were very meticulous and easy to follow. The quote we got for bath & shower tap replacement was $620.

[@XxmadmanXx101]

Aline de Leandro what did u do fix them your self or get a cheaper plumber ?

[@sushimamba4281]

Thanks. Last time I called a plumber for a simple fix like this it was nearly $300 for 18 minutes on the job!

[@TheMaggotrot]

1:23 saved the day. Lefty loosey still applies. Cheers mate!

[@lakshmiiyer4003]

[@sarahlange1002]

Thanks you for positing this. Very, very, very helpful!

[@agallagher5936]

What's the name of the tool used to remove the big metal thing just before the washer?

[@nacnudnz]

It's a pressed steel box wrench or tubular wrench, the name varies depending on what part of the world you live in. A cheap version of a tube socket or deep socket. The holes negate the need for the square drive on a ratchet or similar.

[@Radmack]

Tube spanner

[@Maint-Man]

a box spanner.

[@GreatMochaChino]

[@who_thekaushik]

What this changing of washer do to my shawer? Please tell me if this also work for water running after turning off the shower , its unstoppable.... What to do

[@Prizm44]

Yes, replacing the washer is the first thing to try if your shower drips after turning it off, or if you have to turn the tap off very tight to stop water from dripping.

[@jonlewis5121]

Thank you! Is there an o ring in the spindal, if so how would you know when need changing?

[@GeneralMerchandiser-r7v]

Useful video. Thank you from Singapore.

I've been looking around because I need one and found something very similar and it is called Tap Spanner... found it on the Bunnings website. Hope this helps.

[@LAfunk750]

tube spanner

[@johnharvey4496]

That'd be a "tube spanner", a "tube" spanner...

[@KiloOscarZulu]

[@KiloOscarZulu]

[@johnvienta7622]

It is called a tube or box spanner in Australia. The size for my laundry tub taps was 19mm from memory. They are also useful for jobs such as removing kitchen mixer taps, around 12mm.

[@PTFSUn-official]

Thank you very much. It made my day

[@patrice1981]

This is so helpful. Now I can do it by myself.
