How to stop faucet moving?

How do I stop my facet from moving around. 

I can feel the screws behind the trough under the cabinet. And I have tried tightening them more, but ever time I move the spout the whole facet moves

Re: How to stop faucet moving?

Hello @sophieedwards 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about your tap mixer. Can you please tell me what tool have you been using to tighten the post and nut? The common tool used is the IRWIN Mixer Tap Spanner 4 Piece Set which allows you to reach into the very back of the tap mixer underneath. I suggest repositioning the tap to its correct position and making sure that the steel washer underneath is making full contact with the benchtop. 

 

Once you've visually confirmed this ask a family member to hold the tap in place while you use the tool to secure the post and nut. I've placed a sample of how to install the tap mixer below to give you a better idea of how the tap is secured.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
