FAQs

Are these handles universal for all taps?

No, these handles are specifically designed for Home Range Rune tap bodies and other compatible tap bodies. They are not universal.

What material are the handles made of?

The handles are made of chrome-plated metal for durability and corrosion resistance.

How do I identify the hot and cold handles?

Each handle has a clearly marked index cap indicating 'Hot' or 'Cold'.

Can I install these myself?

Yes, with basic DIY tools and skills, these handles can typically be installed by the user. Ensure the water supply is turned off before starting.

What if my tap isn't a Rune model but looks similar?

While designed for Rune, they may fit other compatible tap bodies. It is best to measure your existing spindle or consult the tap manufacturer for confirmation.

How should I clean the chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can scratch or damage the finish.

Does this kit include the internal tap parts?

No, this kit includes only the two replacement lever handles (hot and cold) and their index caps. It does not include internal tap cartridges or valves.

Troubleshooting

Handle is stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure the handle is properly seated on the spindle and that no debris is obstructing its movement. Check that the retaining screw is not overtightened.

Handle feels loose after installation.

Verify that the retaining screw is securely tightened. If the screw hole is damaged, the tap body may need replacement.

Water drips from the tap after handle installation.

This issue is likely related to the internal valve or cartridge, not the handle itself. The internal valve may need servicing or replacement.

Handle does not fit the tap spindle.

Confirm that your tap body is compatible with the Home Range HD71 Rune handles. Incorrect spindle size or shape will prevent a proper fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Turn off the main water supply to the tap.

  4. Secure the handle with the appropriate screw and replace any decorative caps.
  5. Turn the water supply back on and test for smooth operation.
