How to replace twist taps with lever taps?

Hi there,

Might be a silly question, but we are wanting to replace our old twist type tapes, as I have rheumatoid arthritis...fun times 🙄😅 

So would like to put in lever types, just wondering if there is anything compatibility wise to consider? 

Found a more affordable set on eBay and seller offered a further discount, so would like to scoop them up asap if they are suitable. Being on the disability Support pension, got to be real careful with dollars.

Any help much appreciated 😊🤙

Cheers

Re: Replacing twist taps for lever type any compatibility issues?

Hi @Beccilee,

 

There is nothing compatibility-wise that you need to consider. Those handles should directly replace what's on your wall currently. As with any change in tap hardware, there can be some situations where the new taps don't fit perfectly, but this can normally be overcome by using spindle extenders.

 

Please let me know if you have further questions.
