Attention any plumbers

[K.S.H]

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?

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



That big.

Sorry can't really help.

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'.

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.

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

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

 

[K.S.H]

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

 

[K.S.H]

There are two places up there either james hargreves or hecas

 

[mattylad]

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.

 

[K.S.H]

Aint got an old washer as sample, dropped to bits 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

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

Retlaw.

 

[AngleIron]
