Ensure the tap seating area is clean and free from mineral deposits or scratches that might prevent a proper seal.

To install, first turn off the water supply to the sink via the isolation valves located under the basin. Open the tap fully to drain any remaining water. Use a wrench to unscrew the tap headgear, remove the old washer, and fit the new Thomas Dudley washer into the seating area. Ensure the washer is seated squarely before tightening the headgear back into place. For care, avoid overtightening the tap handle once repaired, as excessive force can cause the washer to compress and degrade prematurely. This component is strictly compatible with standard 1/2 inch pillar taps; always verify your tap size before purchase to ensure a proper fit.
