Tap Mechanism - Primaflow - 90027127

Compare the dimensions (H:5.7 x W:2.5 x D:2.5 cm) and the 'full turn' description with your existing cartridge. If your tap has a similar brass cartridge that requires multiple turns to fully open or close, it is likely compatible. For specific models, checking the tap manufacturer's instructions is advised.

Typically, you will need a screwdriver (often Phillips head) to remove the tap handle and possibly an adjustable wrench or pliers to carefully remove and install the cartridge. A cloth can be useful to protect surfaces.

A 'full turn' cartridge means that it takes approximately one full rotation of the tap handle from fully off to fully on. This is common in older or more traditional tap designs, as opposed to 'quarter turn' cartridges found in many modern mixer taps.

This cartridge primarily addresses leaks from the spout caused by a worn valve seal. Leaks from the handle base might be due to worn O-rings or seals around the handle stem, which may or may not be part of this specific replacement mechanism.

Standard brass cartridges like this are generally designed to handle both hot and cold water, assuming your tap is a standard mixer or dual-control faucet.

Ensure the cartridge is fully seated and tightened correctly. Check for any debris on the valve seat. Verify that the correct cartridge model was used and that the leak isn't originating from elsewhere in the tap body or pipework.

Make sure the cartridge is not overtightened, which could impede flow. Check the aerator at the end of the tap for blockages. Ensure no debris entered the system during installation.

Confirm the cartridge is properly aligned and not cross-threaded. Ensure the handle components are correctly reassembled. A small amount of plumber's grease can sometimes help, applied sparingly to O-rings if accessible.
