No, these are flat rubber washers designed for traditional compression taps, not ceramic disc mechanisms.
The best method is to remove the old washer and compare it directly to the sizes provided in the kit.
Yes, the high-quality rubber used is designed to withstand standard household hot water temperatures.
Generally, you only need an adjustable spanner or wrench to remove the tap head.
The set includes 3 pieces of 3/8", 5 pieces of 1/2", and 5 pieces of 3/4" washers.
Ensure the washer is seated correctly and that the tap valve seat is not pitted or damaged.
Verify you have selected the exact size from the kit; if the leak persists, the tap may require a different style of seal or a new valve seat.
To ensure a successful repair, always turn off the mains water supply or the isolation valve under the sink before beginning work. Keep a bowl or towel nearby to catch residual water remaining in the pipes. When installing, ensure the seat of the tap is clean and free of mineral deposits, as debris can prevent a new washer from creating a perfect seal. After installation, turn the water back on slowly to check for leaks. Store any remaining washers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber from prematurely drying out or losing its elasticity.
