It is designed for standard 1/2-inch taps. Please verify your existing tap size before purchasing.
No, this is a standard DIY task. However, if you are uncomfortable with basic plumbing, consulting a professional is recommended.
Generally, an adjustable spanner or wrench is all you need to remove the tap headgear.
Plumbing-grade silicone grease can be applied to the threads to ensure smooth operation, but is not strictly required for the washer itself.
There is no set schedule, but you should replace the washer as soon as a drip becomes noticeable to prevent water waste and potential damage to the tap seat.
Check if the tap seat itself is damaged or pitted; if the seat is rough, the new washer cannot form a proper seal.
Ensure the jumper is correctly seated within the headgear and that there is no debris preventing it from closing fully.
To install the Thomas Dudley washer, first ensure you turn off the water supply to the specific tap via the isolation valve or the main stopcock. Use a spanner to carefully remove the tap headgear, unscrew the old jumper or washer, and replace it with the new Thomas Dudley component. Ensure all debris is cleaned from the tap seat before reassembling to prevent damage to the new seal. This product is strictly compatible with standard 1/2-inch plumbing connections. To maintain the life of the washer, avoid overtightening your taps, as excessive force can cause the washer to compress too quickly, leading to premature failure.
