Any advice as to how to drill / ream a brass mixer tap spot spigot.
I've fitted 2 mixer tap units into bathroom wall. The tap spout fits into a central spout spigot with usual brass/ plastic / o rings making the seal. Foolishly I didn't check both fittings for size. but first one pushed in straight from the box.
when fitting the second spout discovered that the moulding had a lip slightly greater than the first unit and I can't push the spout into the spigot!! The big problem is that both units are now installed in the wall and plastered over , access at the rear is also extremely tight, so I'm reluctant to remove the fittings. Have contacted the suppliers and await their comments, but I bought these fitting over 6 months ago.
The Spout is 16mm diameter and the mixer spigot is 15mm. Is it worth trying to drill out the fitting with a hand drill to increase the bore size. Fitting appears to be brass.
any help appreciated
