Tap washers changed but leaking

[stratplus]

Afternoon all,

Kitchen sink mixer tap. Took heads off, removed tap inards, changed washers. The brass inards now leak when the taps are opened. I have taken these apart there dont seem to be any washers or o rings but do come apart by turning (just a male thread into a female fitting where the seat lifts up or down as the tap is opened or closed).

Any ideas how to stop these leaking when tap is opened?

Thanx.

Replace with new.

Hello again Leo21. Change tap or the inards. Nothing i can do to fix them, set them up properly or anything? There are too many different types on the market!

 

[Leo21]

Take the tap innards to your friendliest local merchants, buy new if they've got them. Do they have what look like nuts on the spindle?

 

[stratplus]

Yes they do. They may have a part number on that i can google for. Thought there might be an easy fix.

Tighten the top nuts, it will stop it from leaking but will make the tap stiffer. ( iff there the ones I think they are)

I took them apart (unscrewed them) and put them back together by holding bottom half (nut) with grips and screwing the tap haed ont the other end all the way up. I then re-fitted into tap body. Water back on, open tap and water leaks from the spindle.

if it aint got the 'o' ring on the spline shaft then it is going to leak!
there is proberbly 2 of them 1/2'' from the spline head if not then there is the problem....

I'll need pictures with the heads off. Do they leak at the base where it screws in to the body or through the splines at the top?
