FAQs
How many washers are in one pack?
Each pack contains 10 Securplumb 1/2in tap washers.
Are these suitable for hot water taps?
Yes, they are designed to withstand typical household hot and cold water temperatures.
Can I use these for a 3/4 inch tap?
No, these are specifically sized for 1/2 inch taps and will not provide a proper seal on larger fixtures.
Do I need special tools to replace these?
You will typically need a standard adjustable wrench or spanner to remove the tap headgear.
How do I know if I need a new washer?
If your tap drips steadily even when fully tightened, the internal washer is likely worn or compressed and requires replacement.
Troubleshooting
Tap continues to drip after replacement
Verify the washer is seated correctly and check the valve seat for scratches or limescale buildup.
Washer does not fit the valve
Confirm that your tap requires a 1/2in washer; this product is not suitable for 3/4in or custom-sized taps.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Cost-effective solution for fixing leaky taps
- Convenient 10-pack for multiple repairs
- Standard 1/2in size fits most common taps
- Durable construction for reliable sealing
Cons
- Not compatible with non-standard tap sizes
- Requires basic plumbing tools to install

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first ensure the water supply to the specific tap is completely shut off. Use a wrench to remove the tap headgear, inspect the old washer, and replace it with the new Securplumb unit. Ensure the washer is seated squarely in the valve holder before reassembling. This product is strictly compatible with 1/2-inch plumbing fixtures. To maintain the life of your washers, avoid overtightening the tap when closing it, as excessive force can deform the rubber seal over time.
