Leaking carvan mixer tap.

[j_374364907]

Hi all, can anyone help me locate the parts to fix my leaking kitchen sink mixer tap.

Instead of have a convensional washer it has a flat washer that is "GLUED" onto a brass plunger as can be seen in the links.

oh my god j I have not seen one like that in 20 years ? last was on an old static, what type and how old is the van.

unless you have a van breakers near you it will have to be a home repair job, it's easily done with a bit of thought.

take the plunger down to the domestic plumbers and get a new tap washer the right diameter then cut of the old washer with a sharp knife clean up the plunger and the superglue the new washer in place.

Ey up Colin, fellow Yorkshire man.

Your right the tap is off a static van, about 6-7 years old.

I did also think about super glueing a washer to the plunger but was a little conserned of how this would stand up to being submirged constantly in water.

hi j

thought it was off a static??, superglue will stand being emersed in water ok providing you get the proper stuff and not a tube from the
