If you ever service your own taps, one mistake you should avoid is wrapping plumbing tape around the thread on this type of tap setup. It doesn’t create the proper seal and can still lead to leaks.
The correct way to service these taps is by replacing the fibre washer inside the tap assembly to ensure a proper seal. On this job, we also replaced the O-ring, applied fresh grease to the tap mechanism, and changed the tap washer to get everything running smoothly again.
It’s also important to reset the tap seating if necessary to ensure the new washer seals correctly. On this occasion, the seating was still in good condition, so no reseating was required.
