Thank you very much for this video - it helped me carry out the task successfully: 3 factors helped: 1. The excellent video, even with a US faucet/tap with a couple of differences. The cartridge had the 2 little plugs on the bottom to align and the hot/cold rotator thingee that goes on the cartridge also had 2 plugs to align on the cartridge itself. Also, there was no o-ring or washer inside like in the video, but after taking everything out, cleaning all the parts and putting them back in, the leaking stopped. 2. The tip from other commenters to use a rubber jar opener to loosen the ring. 3. Serendipity; I had some to squirt some WD40 in order to loosen the nut holding the handle in place, as I could not turn the Allen key at first. Also, I did not put back the top ring and screw in the handle nut immediately, just as well as I had not aligned the cartridge, rotator thingee correctly at first, so I adjusted, tried again and all was well. Then I screwed everything back in place.

Thank you for your excellent video! I was able to repair our faucet (tap) by using a bit of plumbers tape to increase the seal between the plastic o-ring and the faucet, where it swivels at the base. Again many thanks, as it saved my engaging a plumber for what is truly a minor job that even I could repair in under 15 minutes.

Thanks for your hint! I did the same thing here for the rubber seals at the base of my Price Pfister kitchen sink tap: I found that covering them with a few wraps of teflon tape also helped the overall faucet move more freely and also stopped some slight drips getting out. For me that was happening due to the interior of the cylindrical part of the faucet having become slightly corroded (with the chrome plating wearing off to reveal a copper surface underneath, so the rubber ring was probably no longer making nice even contact, allowing a few drips to squeeze out at the base of the tap when it was turned on). With the teflon tape added over the rubber seals, that slight drip when the tap was turned on stopped completely for me. As a plus, the faucet is also no longer stiff to move from left to right! So it seems like this simple fix is working great, thanks for the hint! Perhaps using teflon tape also makes the rubber seal last longer? There would be less friction within the cylindrical part when moving the faucet from left to right, so less risk of the seals getting "shredded". I wonder why more plumbing channels don't recommend using teflon tape over these rubber seals? Perhaps it helps increase the sales of the replacement rubber seals?

I'm just getting used to being on my own so this video was a real boost for me. Thank you.

Thank you for an excellent video which shows the insides of these sink mixer taps and how to take them apart. However, I must pull you up on one thing regarding the cause of the leak: It's not failure of the white washers/spacers that cause these types of leaks (some taps don't even have them). Instead, it's failure of the black o-rings which are at top and bottom of the swing tap section. If they fail to seal properly, water will come out from either the top or bottom of the swing section (depending on which seal has failed). As you point out, dirt is often the culprit and a clean out can fix such leaks.

Canadian here, with the exact same problem. I suspected both upper and lower leaks were the result of a build up of lime (scale). Out water in Toronto is very hard, 7 grains, I think, and we require water softeners to prevent the build up of scale inside kettle, clothes irons, water heaters, steam irons and shower and kitchen faucets. The O-rings no longer made a complete seal with the build up of scale on them

I was studying the original valve in my van, when I dropped it from my hand down the back of the seat in my brand new Transit. Ollocks! I could not reach it, I was in Stevenage and I was nowhere near home. I had to source one of those flexible grabby things .. I ordered one from Tool Station ... Got there ... no they didnt have one in stock. But! There was a very helpful plumbing supply next door ... So I bought another couple of cartridges that looked right. (from photo) + a complete new tap with flexi hoses and olives etc just in case. I managed to get a grabby think from Letchworth Tool Station and rescued the original valve in a jiff. Back home .. They still were the wrong valves :( My luck changed this morning when I went down the road to my local plumb shop (I don't know why I didn't go there first) And they sorted me out, not exactly the same ones, but good enough. Went home and changed both cartridges in 5 minutes. Thanks for your video and I would underline that there are only about 50,000 different cartridges out there to choose from.

Hi Al. I have a single lever valve tap for the hot & cold on the bath. It's leaking from the underside of lever part of the tap that moves up & down, left & right. Could that be a seal as well or could it be the cartridge? No brand name on the tap itself so I presume it'll be impossible to get the replacement parts.

Very good video on disassembling a tap. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to me the white nylon washer looks like a sort of bearing ring that facilitates the tap rotating. I don't think it seals the tap. If the blue layer of the cartridge makes good contact no water should ever get as far as the white ring.

Hey, Al! Just out of interest. What hat is your most hated tap design, repair/service? I had a problem with a glass bowled, mono, lever, waterfall bath tap. Could not for the life of me get the chrome top screw plate off to get to the cartridge. The blessed thing was seized tight and the angle of the glass bowl frustrated me no end. It dripped for ages, but that was the start of the problem. The flexis supplied in the box were about 500mm long and were tightly bent over in the packaging and strapped tight with an elastic band. I reckon the rubber inner was stressed/fatigued being held in a kinked position during transit (probably all the way from China) Eventually perished, fine misting spray through the metal braided outer sheath. Even worse. The tap was located 1/2 way along the back, long length of the bath and both ends were butted against end walls. Had to cut plasterboard off bedroom wall on other side to get to the darn thing to swap it.

Like you, if this was on my own tap I would have a go at repairing it because I'm a tight arse. But as a jobbing plumber if I tried this for a tenanted property and it failed again within twelve months I would be expected to go back free of charge to resolve it so I don't bother and would replace it.
