How to get tap back in after changing O rings?

Hello,

 

I replaced the O rings on my kitchen tap after it popped out. I can't seem to push it all the way back in. 

 

Can anyone help me? Do I need a mallet?

Re: How to get tap back in after changing O rings

Hello @Mj411 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about your O rings. Did the O ring packet come with O ring/ plumber's grease? If it did not you'll need to get some - Kinetic 15g Tap Lubricant. Apply liberally to the O rings and body of the tap. You should be able to slide the spout back in.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
