Tap change - problem undoing connectors

[Mark_5040993]

Hi All,

I want to remove the tap from the 'en-suite' in our Ace Award Northstar as it's developed a leak. I've unscrewed the big black plastic nut that secures the tap to the sink, undone the electric cables, but I'm at a loss to figure out how the pipe connectors undo. Theres 2 black braided hoses connected to the tap leading to 2 black plastic connectors, which in turn connect to red & blue pipes. Any ideas how these connectors undo? Thanks in advance.

Hi Mark,you need to push the extreme end of the fitting towards the pipe and this will easily release it.

If its stuck use a pair of pliers lightly round the pipe to push the sleeve in

Thanks John, I'll give that a go.
