Leaks from mixer taps that runs down under the sink 

Thanks Dereton 33 you are a life line to all us DIYs

This really helped me fix my tap! Thanks a bunch!

This is exactly what I needed to see. Veeeery helpful. Thank you.

is very common to found a leak from taps specially a mono block taps fitted in aliminum sink thanks al for sharing this information with us.

Thanks. What I was looking for. You explained it clearly and straightforward. like how you ended video :) creating a little mess, so true as one has to take off the drain plumbing as well to get to the back of the mixer tap

Hi Al, got a question here. Planning some DIY plumbing and fitting a T for a washing machine supply. Seems my plumbing could be either 15mm or half inch. Is there an easy way to tell what it is?

Another great video....just had a problem with mixer taps...New but faulty...My question is how could it be intermittent fault. I discovered leak all came out ruined the floor...turned off water got emergency plumber in. Turned back on water when he was there....no leak.....so he has been gone 20 minutes started again. I sourced the leak at the end of cable from new taps. Then again it became intermittent...don't understand why...now put in new taps!@

Al can you give me link to them little washers please

Got a Single Lever Mixer Basin Tap I've had for about 7yrs with flexible connectors. Got a dripping coming down the hose, and no water on the topside of the basin, so got a replacement pair which had double seals at the top and guess what... still got a drip and it's from the same side (the hot). Can't really see far up enough inside the tap when fitted, to see if it's defintely from the hose and I did hand tighten followed it with a spanner. Now I've watched your video it's dawned on me it only leaks when the tap is running? Do you think it's the seal inside that's the tap problem?

Hi, My mixer tap ( the same as the one in this film) leaks under the sink badly when the tap is pulled forward, such as you do to fill the kettle. When the tap is pushed back flush with the back of the sink this does not happen. If the tap is pulled forward it leaks even if the tap is not turned on. This has developed suddenly - the last month or so - and the tap has been in place over four years without prior problems. Bit anxious about flooding the flat below. Any ideas gratefully received.

Hi AL , can you Help, turning on the bath taps in the bathroom the tap in the kitchen starts to run and make a loud buzzing noise though it is turned off. this started 2 weeks ago , it seems to be the hot side of the mixer tap, if i turn the isolation valve to the cold it still buzzes away , if i turn the hot one off it stops buzzing and running , i have tried everything i know its got me beat ANY HELP AL ,take care ,stay well, Many Thanks Mick .

Hi I have found the problem i hand a leak in the flex hose part can I repair it or do I just replace that pipe

I think those modern taps (especially the cheap 1s have to many weak spots . Plus ....to many seals .....built by committee. 😄

I will tell this to my husband, coz he wants to buy a new faucet

Of course teflon tape helps too.

Too many swivelling, moveable parts and o rings and seals will eventually split or wear and will need replacing. That tap design in particular, leads to some need for maintenance at some point in time almost inevitable. More work for plumbers or competent DIY-ers, I suppose. "Everyone wants a cell 'phone that will make pancakes and rub their b*^*s for them" (George Carlin) The key to success is spotting it early because if the bolt, nut and horseshoe shaped clamp arrangement are not brass/stainless steel, rust will form and simply removing it from the sink can be a right pain in the derrière. "Caveat emptor"... Buyer beware. Whenever a customer supplies one of those, I fix a stare upon them and resolutely assert, somewhat like Arnie, "I'll be back!"
