This Faithfull Tap Backnut Spanner is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to easily remove or fit tap backnuts on basins and baths. Its key benefit is the double-ended box design offering versatility with two common sizes (27mm and 32mm), plus an included tommy bar for leverage. A potential caveat is that it is specifically for brass and nylon backnuts, and may not fit other materials.

It is designed for use with brass and nylon tap backnuts.
Yes, the spanner is supplied complete with a tommy bar for added leverage.
This spanner is specifically for brass and nylon tap backnuts and is not recommended for general plastic pipe fittings.

Yes, it is a useful tool for plumbers for specific tasks involving tap backnuts.
Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the nut. Apply steady, increasing pressure using the tommy bar. For stubborn nuts, a penetrating oil may help loosen corrosion.
Confirm the backnut size is either 27mm or 32mm and is made of brass or nylon. If the size is different or the material is incompatible, this spanner will not work.
Ensure the tommy bar is clean and free of debris. If it remains loose, do not use the spanner as it could compromise leverage and safety. Contact the retailer for a replacement.
Ensure you are turning the spanner in the correct direction (usually counter-clockwise to loosen). Apply steady, firm pressure. If the nut is heavily corroded, a penetrating lubricant may be required, followed by re-attempting with the spanner.
Setup: The spanner is ready for immediate use. Insert the tommy bar into the designated hole on the spanner head before applying force.
Compatibility: This spanner is specifically designed for 27mm and 32mm brass and nylon tap backnuts. It is not intended for use on other types of nuts or fasteners, nor on backnuts made of materials other than brass or nylon.
Care: After use, wipe the spanner clean with a dry cloth to remove any debris or moisture. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Periodically check the tommy bar for a secure fit.
