Troubleshooting

Tap still leaking after repair

Double-check that the correct valve type (1/2" 5412) was used and that all components are seated correctly. Ensure the valve seal is intact and not damaged. The valve itself might require replacement if the leak persists.

New handle is loose

Ensure the handle is correctly affixed to the valve spindle. Some handles require tightening a grub screw from underneath or a decorative cap. Verify all fixings are secure.

Difficulty dismantling the old tap

Ensure you have the correct tools. If parts are seized due to limescale, a mild descaler solution might help loosen them. Apply gentle but firm pressure. Always turn off the water supply first.

Kit components do not fit

Confirm that your tap uses the specified 1/2" 5412 valve. This kit is not compatible with other valve types or brands. Verify you have the correct model number (R-RK-MT).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:
