How to replace sink tap assembly?

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 ?

Re: How to replace sink top assembly?

You'd typically need a larger, higher-spout model, such as the Shaw & Mason 250mm Chrome Swivel Wall Mounted Spout @zillah.

@Mitchell ,,,,Please see attached photos and video

 

I bought Shaw & Mason Chrome Swivel Wall Mounted Spout  and installed it 

 

I wanted to use EnduraSeal Chrome Female Multi-Function Swivel Aerators...... as it male to male connectors,,,, is there such an adapter that fix the issue....I guess adapter should be female to female

Hi @zillah,

 

There is a female version of that aerator -  EnduraSeal Chrome Female Multi-Function Swivel Aerator.

 

Seems like returning the male version and replacing it with the female version would be the way to go.

 

Is there any reason you think this wouldn't work?

 

I'll happily assist further if required.

Re: How to replace sink top assembly?

Hi @zillah,

 

I'm not sure I follow. 

 

The original aerator that you take off the tap at the start of your video is a female aerator with an internal thread. The aerator you try to put on at the end of your video is a male aerator with an external thread.

 

Did you want to replace the original aerator with a male one for a specific reason, or have you just purchased a male aerator in error?

 

If you return the male aerator and swap it for the female one I linked to, it should go on without any issues.

Thx Jacob 

The origin one that comes with the new spout is not swivel and the one that which is male is swivel type. And thanks for advising that there is female swivel
