FAQs
How many washers are in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 Securpak Flat Washers.
Are these suitable for cold water taps?
Yes, they are designed to handle standard residential cold and hot water bath tap connections.
What is the primary material?
These are high-quality plumbing-grade washers designed for a secure, watertight seal.
Can I reuse these after removing them?
It is recommended to use a new washer every time a connection is broken to ensure the best possible seal, as used washers often take a permanent set.
Are these compatible with kitchen taps?
These are specifically designed for bath taps; please check the diameter of your kitchen tap fittings before use as they may differ.
Troubleshooting
Leaking after installation
Ensure the washer is seated perfectly flat in the center of the connector and tighten the nut slightly more.
Difficulty threading the nut
Remove the washer and check for debris or cross-threading on the tap tail, then re-seat the washer.
Pros and Cons

- Durable material suitable for standard water pressures
Cons
- Specific to bath tap dimensions

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the water supply is completely turned off at the isolation valves before unscrewing the tap connection. Remove the old washer, clean the seating area of any calcium buildup or debris, and place the new Securpak washer into the connector. Hand-tighten the nut until firm, then use a wrench to give an additional quarter-turn if necessary; avoid overtightening, as this can deform the washer and break the seal. To care for these washers, inspect them during routine plumbing maintenance. Avoid using harsh chemical descalers directly on the rubber, as this may degrade the material over time.
