Attention any plumbers
 

I've just fit some new taps in the bathroom, you know the stainless flexible pipe that fits to the tap? the seal is knackered, can you get new ones or just get a new flexi pipe, if you can get em, what size are they?

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

I'm no plumber, but I reckon, looking at it, they are about,



That big.

Sorry can't really help.:(

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

LOL, have you ever tried buying a rubber or fibre washer? theres millions of the things

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

Just buy the flexis cause if the fibre washer is corroded the rest of the flexi pipe could be getting knacked and when you disturb them they have a habit of splitting. Make sure you get the right ones ie Bath or sink cause they are a differrent size tap connector.

That's why I can't help, I've even gone in with a sample and been convinced that, 'actually this is what you need'.

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

You can get replacement washers at B&Q, Homebase or any good plumbers merchants.
They are usually the bigger 22mm ones but i'm sure the staff will assist.

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

15 or 22mil I think.depending on the size.

Take one with you to T A P S opposite Asda.

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

Thanks all,
I'll pick up a new flexi tomorrow

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

Taps are good to deal with like i said size depends on wether they are Bath or Basin taps

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

Yeah, I know of TAPS and will be going there, it is for the basin and am aware of the different sizes, cheers all

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

Depends on the make at Taps as i discovered a couple of months ago, but they sent me to a place around corner up electricity st n they sorted me. cant remember name but its on yer right just past Denmens electrical.:)

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

There are two places up there either james hargreves or hecas

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

Its called Screwfix.

If you take your old washer with you they may be able to find a replacement.

Homebase may have them in too.

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

Aint got an old washer as sample, dropped to bits :eek: thats why I wanted the size but decided to buy a new flexi, will cost more in petrol to take owt back if its wrong size than it will for a new flexi
Thanks anyway :)

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

cheers was James Hargreaves they sent me n was sorted yon.:)

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

I made mine out of a bit of old car inner tube, machined a punch on the lathe to the right size.

Retlaw.

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

you can buy a washer kit from hombase for about a quid, and it has 2 of each size.....

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

I was going to suggest making a string and putty one - What's a lathe.:confused::D:D

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

them bits of wood in the wall holding the plaster up :D

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

One of these.
Mines the tool room version with taper turning attachment

Retlaw.

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

Mine had a treadle.:tongueout:D:D May take it down the market hall next week.

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

What a fuss! lol, Tap connections are neither 22mm nor 15mm, they are 3/4" or 1/2" with a 22m or 15mm pipe conection, the washer was simply a half inch tap washer, good you got sorted though KSH.

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

Near enough,how many in a kilo?:confused::D:D

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

I did get it sorted out, thing that threw me was, the old one that fell out in numerous pieces seemed to be round - like an "O" ring and not a flat washer, the washer I actually needed Is just a normal tap washer, I'll know for next time

Re: Attention any plumbers
 

Just for future reference they sell them in Wilkinsons.
