FAQs
What size are these tap washers?
These Plumbsure tap washers are designed for 3/4 inch fittings.
What material are the washers made of?
The washers are made of durable rubber.
How many washers are included in a pack?
Each pack contains two (2) rubber tap washers.
Can these be used for high-pressure water systems?
These washers are designed for standard domestic water pressure and may not be suitable for high-pressure industrial applications.
How do I know if I need a 3/4" washer?
If the tap or pipe fitting you are repairing has a diameter of approximately 3/4 inch, this washer is likely the correct size. Refer to your fixture's manual if available.
What should I do if the washer doesn't stop the leak?
First, ensure the washer is correctly seated and the connection is not overtightened. Check the fitting itself for any damage or obstructions that might prevent a proper seal.
Troubleshooting
Washer does not create a seal / still leaking.
Ensure the washer is the correct 3/4" size and is seated properly. Check the fitting for damage or debris. Do not overtighten the connection, as this can damage the washer.
Washer cracked or broke during installation.
The connection may have been overtightened, or the fitting may have sharp edges. Ensure a gentle tightening process and inspect the fitting for any burrs.
Difficulty fitting the washer.
Ensure you are using the correct 3/4" washer. Sometimes a little moisture can help the washer slide into place. Check that the seating area is clean and free of obstructions.

Compatibility:
