- Here in detailed description, is how to replace a tap washer, the fibre sealing washer, and the spindle O rings. Access to these parts and the lubrication of the parts is covered in detail.
This videos is linked to my website, sdbplumbing.com... for my plumbing business. My business being in Brisbane, Australia. Please enjoy.
Kudos to you Sam, serviced the ancient kitchen taps today.
This is the best youtube video for repairing a tap .. not sure why, but all other vids neglect to replace O rings and fibre body washers
Your description of where the leakes will show on the spindle was a game changer.My o ring needed replacing a following your instructions made it easy.Thanks 👍
This is the best basic plumbing educative video on youtube. Good job mate.
Wow, thanks!
It doesn't get any better than this. Clear and concise.
Thank you for explaining what/where it leaks when which part is compromised! Not a lot of videos do that - just fixes the problem, no further knowledge. Much appreciated!! Great video!!
Just took me ten goes until I Finally found a good replacement video. Appreciated Blokes 👍
A pro sharing his craft......priceless ! Ty Sir
Cheers mate. Was wondering why my repair didn’t work. Missed the O Rings. You saved me $50 - $100 😊
Bro I was waiting for you and those brass washers to get a room!
Nice and simple, so easy to follow. Thank you! You should do more videos just like this one for other plumbing fixes. I’d watch them!
Me too, this video is just so straightforward and reassuring!
Simple but the best explanation. Thanks. Had a plumber in to look at mine leaky taps. Advice is I need to replace them which costs $490 for 4. These taps are only15 years old. I will do what you said and see whether the problem is solved.
$490 for 4 taps is very expensive!
Thanks. Appreciate the detail on the black rubber o-rings.
Clear. Concise. Informative. Good video. Thanks mate.
This is a very good basic tap maintenance video but before commencing this job do turn off the water at the mains where the water enters the property. If this is not done, you will surely get a good shower when you remove the tap spindle. Another important step is to make sure that the seat where the tap washer is to seal is clean and smooth. And don’t forget to turn the water back on at the mains on completion. Even though doing this job is probably illegal, it is a simple task requiring only basic skills.
This is what I am looking for.
Best explanation and easy to understand.
Thanks
You made it so simple and easy to understand. Thanks mate.
The best video DIY on the subject ever - pity you are not in Melb. We would use you for the too hard stuff! Congrats
Thanks Debbie
Thanks for that. Great instructions and explanation.
Thank you very much! it's very helpful to me this morning!
Excellent video. Clear instructions and I got to know what I need to change to stop leaking tap, thank you.
This is the very useful video! Thanks!
Brilliant! Utterly brilliant - I hope the plumber I call is as professional in dealing with the dripping hot water tap over the wash hand basin as you are in this video.
In this instance I would accept cheap & cheerful (washer replacement) why? because both the sink & tap hardware will be upgraded soon - still in the process of searching for a compact wash basin.
I also want to replace all the bathroom hardware: (hot & cold)shower & bath set, also have a shower rail with hand spray installed, need the tap outlet over the bath replaced and also the hot & cold taps over the laundry trough & finally the washing machine taps & inlet hoses to the washer need replacing.
Oh almost forgot - those dreadful grab rails over the bath also need to be replaced to something a little more sleek in style, & finally there is the mixer tap in the kitchen it is cumbersome for pot washing - worst design ever.
I therefore need a plumber I neither have the skill set nor the tools to do the work.
I procrastinate getting the work done because I have yet to find a plumber that I feel confident will A). do the work, & B). not over charge.
Excellent Small & Precise Video, many thanks.
Great video, thanks. Discovered a groove in the seat of my cold so yeh, more work to do. But it's improved a lot. The cold was also missing the red washer for whatever reason. They both had a little teflon tape on the spindle threads, so I re-did that also.
My old crappy washers had swelled up and would not fit back up through the bases. Used side cutters and needle pliers to force them out.
Perfect explanation champ!
Excellent video...off to try to fix my garden tap now
Brilliantly explained. TY
A great video! You should do more for other little plumbing jobs
Mate simple and great instructions!
Excellent explanation. Thankyou.
Greetings...Thanks. Appreciate your info. Bathurst NSW.
Best video I’ve seen - thank you
Thanks hope to do more soon
Thanks for your video, you explained it very well 😊
Very good instructions, thanks for that!
Thanks for making that video
Wow thank you! I was just about to call a plumber. :)
great video, clear and able to follow, love to see more!
Thanks, helped a lot. I changed only tap washer and body washer as my tap was leaking. Seems fine for now. I didn't do the o ring yet but will do if it leeks in future.
Cheers mate, just saved me a big bill
Appreciate this video champion, thanks!!
Very information and straight to the point. Top job /ThumbsUp
Great vid.
very good. I learnt a lot. Thank you
Great instructions
Excellent stuff. Thank you.
I like how you say Very Good. It is very good!:)
Thankyou very much
you are a pro bro, very well explained
Very helpful thanks. I'm going to try the needle nose pliers method of removing the o-rings, instead of a tiny flat head screw driver. I love hearing the "proper English" terms like spanner wrench, anti-clockwise, tap grease , etc 😊. lighting and camera work could use a little improvement but good work .
Brilliant thx for your tips
Top video, concise and complete
Best explanation ever. Question though. Your spindle had 2 'o' rings. Every spindle I have bought at Bunnings or even those I repaired only had one 'o'-ring mounted. Why different???
thanks for this explanation!
Very Good Thank You !
Great video, very informative
thankyou i have exactly the same taps.... although i discovered a couple of bits missing in mine and my cold water taps' shroud does not sit flush on the basin 🤔 never has....i will have to use the reseating tool though as it's still got a bit of water coming out after i turn the water tap off ..... the hot water all good 👍🏼
Cheers for the video! My spindle doesn't wind all the way down like yours...could it be the threading inside of the spindle needs servicing?
Really nice video. Thanks
Off to buy some brass tap seats, thank you.
Very helpful Thankyou!
Good video,well detailed.
Great video
Great Video, thanks so much!
Thank you, you're a life saver, but now my tap goes round and round, help.
Thanks for such a thorough and informative video. May you get good karma for this.
Well explained
Should you/I apply the grease to the red fibre washer too? That is where my hand basin tap seems to (still!) be leaking from... Other reading I've done says that the fibre washers absorb a little bit of water and expand to provide a better seal and I'm not sure if a layer of grease will stop them being able to do that.
thank god for u tube
DO MORE VIDEOS PLEASE
Do you have to turn the water off at the fence first?
you put too much greas on should be under o ring too to stop them rotting thats what its for and whats the size of the o rings.
Thanks. Why didn't you lubricate all the rubber rings?
Old spindel turned brand new? What happened couldnt remove old one?
material list would of been nice.
Good video but you didnt make something very clear. How do you feel about the brass seals over the plastic ones
Just used the plastic, works gr8 :)
What size of 2 rubber O'Ring..?
That's a shifter mate
So that was the brass one, not the plastic??? Haha
Best explanation ever. Question though. Your spindle had 2 'o' rings. Every spindle I have bought at Bunnings or even those I repaired only had one 'o'-ring mounted. Why different???
I think the double O ring taps are of higher quality.
Awesome video! Thank you.
