Most standard domestic kitchen and bathroom taps use 1/2 inch washers. You can confirm by measuring the diameter of your current washer or checking your tap manufacturer's specifications.
You will generally need an adjustable wrench or spanner to remove the tap headgear, and potentially a screwdriver to remove the tap handle cover.
Yes, this washer is designed to withstand standard domestic water temperatures found in typical hot and cold tap systems.
Washers should be replaced whenever a leak develops. Depending on usage and water hardness, this may be every few years.
The issue may be deeper within the tap mechanism, such as a faulty O-ring or a damaged valve assembly, which may require a professional plumber to inspect.
Check the brass tap seat for pitting or scratches; if the seat is damaged, the washer cannot seal, and the seat may need to be reseated or replaced.
Ensure the washer is correctly centered in the jumper and not obstructing the water channel.
To install, first turn off the local water supply valve under the sink. Use a wrench to unscrew the tap headgear, remove the old washer, and replace it with the new Thomas Dudley washer, ensuring it is properly seated in the jumper valve or retainer. Compatibility is limited to standard 1/2 inch plumbing fixtures; always verify your specific tap model's requirements before purchase. For maintenance, avoid overtightening your taps, as excessive force can cause premature wear on the washer, leading to repeated leaks.
