you do that on mains, tamz?
plus the rag trick aint gonna help with reseating what what.
You must have lightning reflexes not to get spurted in the face first.
Can you link me to this domed washer you talk of? 'Cos reseating is annoying so I want me some of that!
i do some thing similar,but screw a 1/2 cap into the top easy enough though even on mains or if the taps upstairs open all the outlets below it helps as wellYes. Try it. The water runs out the spout.
I've never reseated a tap in my life. Use a domed washer.
Depends how much time you want to spend messing about with taps.
what the cap? there all 1/2 bsp threadhow would they fit normal tap valves?
yes chuck a pic upive welded my own tap head puller, i bent the end of 2 6 inch nais to about 110 degrees then welded them both to a nut, one either side of the nut, then in the end of the polt i drilled a small hole up the threas, i thake the grub screw holding the head off, then the red or blue thing, drop a roll pin inside this hole, then put 2 of the hadles of the + shape tap head into the nails then start scrwing the bolt down the rollpin fits inside the hole in the bottom of the bolt and ans you screw down it acts like a puller and pulls the head off! works brilliant! no risk of scratches cracks!!! can post a pic if anybodys interested!
