Stage 1. Remove old taps and spout
1. Turn off the water at your meter and
drain your system by opening the
lowest hot and cold outlet in your
house. Usually the bath taps
.
2. Remove the old buttons, handles, flanges,
spindles and jumper valves. The rubber strap
wrench is ideal for undoing tight dress flanges.
3. Undo the old spout locknut underneath your basin then twist and pull
out the spout.
EZYtip:
If you are struggling to loosen this nut simply lock a spanner onto
it with one hand whilst twisting the spout from above with the other.
Cut out the
existing o-ring
on the breech
piece and
replace with
the one
supplied with
your new taps
before putting
the new spout
on.
