Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure the water supply to the tap is completely shut off. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the tap head gear. Remove the old washer from the jumper plate and replace it with the new Thomas Dudley Delta Tap Washer, ensuring it sits flat and centered. Once installed, reassemble the tap, tighten it moderately—do not overtighten—and turn the water supply back on to test the seal. To prolong the life of the washer, avoid forcing the tap handle closed once the water has stopped flowing, as excessive pressure can deform the rubber over time.
