The grub screw holding the tap handle to the cartridge on this basin tap needed a small flathead screwdriver. They typically need an Allen (hex) key which is usually 2.5mm.

This is exactly what an actual instructional video should look like. Nice work!
😁👍
Thank you very much, I was struggling before I watched your video. Great result👍
You're welcome!
Just what the doctor ordered! Worked perfectly
That's what I like to hear 💪 🔧
Very helpful, thank you very much for this!!
You're welcome 🙏
Just discover your channel and subscribed to you. Keep going!
Thanks!
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.
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
j'apprends avec vos vidéos Merci
👍
Good Job
@@syedbukhari2689 🙏
You need to fix your isolation tap under the sink. It is leaking. see start of video.
Not anymore 😁 th-cam.com/video/TTtyLKcTr40/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the help. I was able to fix my tap myself.
You're welcome. Good job 👍
you mean your video tape? 🤦♀
@@stfuplsok tap 😁
I would have placed the screw cover somewhere safe in case it fell down the plughole.
That's why the rag is there 👍
@@Housewarmit nearly fell into the drain when the rag was used to undo the nut
@@VinhNguyen-ip4dr yeah I should have put it on the windowsil after rewatching the video just now
Графитной смазкой надо смазывать ещё новый, и снимается потом от руки всё
Hey. I’ve tried to remove the solid part after I did some unscrew on the hole but no result. Can you tell me what should I try ?
Not sure what you mean. If you mean the shroud cover then you'll probably need some water pump pliers to undo it
Hey boss, the ring you unscrew on 0:48, what is that called? I only need that part
@@BitViber cheers mate, trying to find one had no idea how to even describe it haha
❤❤❤❤ بتوفيق اخي
Thanks for the lesson bro but you just wanna ask if the tap mixer is stuck just out of the blue is not turning , what must I do ? Thank you 🇿🇦!
If you mean the tap cartridge is stuck after removing the round cover, you probably need to pull it out forcefully using some water pump pliers like the ones in the video
@@Housewarm Thank you so much brother 🤝
@@smithnxumalo7590 you're welcome! 💪

My Huntington Brass GT2620-20 bathroom single lever handle won't budge. I can't move it up or down to turn the water on. Do you think it's just the cartridge, or something else I need to be looking at? TY
Sounds like the cartridge
What is the difference between the mixer tap cartridge and the mixer raised cartridge?
Raised tap cartridge is taller
Amaizing
Thanks!
*Amazing
Was that it! Damn, I've been robbed!
Yup, pretty simple most of the time.
What size mm was cartridge??
This one was 40mm x 4mm
How to change the whole tap? Sir.
That's a lot more tricky but I haven't got a video for that yet.
I do have blog posts though, here's one:
housewarm.co.uk/how-to-change-a-kitchen-tap/
This cartridge can replace?
Huh?
Check diameter mine was 35mm !
Yeah, the most common sizes are 35mm and 40mm
I followed this and now my water pressure is extremely low. Otherwise everything seems to be working perfectly, no leaking no nothing. Can anyone help or offer advice please? I really can't afford a plumber and I'm trying to do it all on my own.
Remove the cartridge and check for any debris in the holes on the bottom.
You should also make sure water is turned back on fully at isolating valves or stopcock
@@Housewarm Thank you for replying. I'll try checking the cartridge and holes again. The water is on and the pressure from the pipe is good, as it also goes to the sink and that works just fine (this cartridge I changed was for the shower tap but it's still a mixer tap so it's the same)
@@lexie7753 yeah if the cartridge is the exact same as the old one then it won't matter about it being a shower tap.
If only
🤔
L key size ?
It was a small flathead screwdriver for this tap.
A hex (Allen) key grub screw is usually 2.5mm but the size can vary
But there’s so many different cartridges and unless it’s a brand name how do you know which one ?
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.
@@Housewarm yeah but what if the merchants don’t have it . I’m retired but when working found it in the long run cheaper to replace the tap
@@bobbojones8157 remove it and look for the same one online. It's the bottom that's different so make sure it looks the same then measure the width, they're typically either 35mm or 40mm wide
Hi , I have falt cartridge from paffony Italy, new one is 35€, the same wholes and size from China is 1€. But the water doesn't come out
Paffoni has some hole on cartridge side and Chinese dont

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.
@@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
I can't get that damn cover off the pin. I've totally hacked up my tap and poked a hole in my finger. Great video though
Thanks. Yeah sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and get a new tap

Hot/cold indicator pip the wrong way round. Hot to the left. Just saying. 😅
The hot is on the left 🔎

Ma solo a me capita??? di cambiare le cartucce nei lavandini e per toglierli mo fa dannare....🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️invece nei video va sempre via con tanta semplicità boooooooo
succede a tutti noi, ma è facile la maggior parte delle volte
Your stop tap leaking is the main problem 👎🏻
It's not leaking anymore th-cam.com/video/TTtyLKcTr40/w-d-xo.html
But how would the stopcock leaking when it's turned off be the main problem 🤔 you know it alls are funny...
@@Housewarm *all
@@stfuplsok "you know it all are funny" doesn't make sense, "know it alls" is the plural
@@Housewarm well, that doesn't make sense. There is NO word like 'alls'. The word 'all' can be used as singular or plural.
