Dear Experts
Our kitchen sink's tap assembly is leaking as shown in the attached video in the link below
Looking to replace it with a premium quality (i.e not cheap) preferably with its spout
Any recommendation which one should I get ?
Thx
Hi Jacob
1-I have got this old spout has two parts I guess can I find a replacement ? please see attached photos
2-To undo the nut that hold the plastic handle for the spindle I couldn't find a tube spanner as plastic hole is tight ,,,,,what tool do I need to use ?
Hi @zillah,
You should still be able to find a replacement. The spout being in two parts is just so there can be a mechanism to rotate the spout. The pipe through the wall should still be the same.
The grub screw at the connection between the two parts would need to be removed so you can take the top off. You would then rotate the lower part anticlockwise to remove it from the pipe in the wall.
Did you get the tap handles off? It looks like you've already replaced them?
It looks like you should just be able to pull them off.
Let me know what you think.
Jacob
Morning @zillah

With a screwdriver, gently pry out the the 'blue ring' - it's just held by friction - which opens the area for a socket (from memory around 14mm?)
