Hello
I am trying to take off a carton phoenix opus tap spout to change o rings. There are no grub or allum screws just the shroud nut. Is the spout meant to just pull out? If so it is stuck. Is there a technique for pulling it out?
Have you read this blog post here as also lots of comments underneath that cover what you are asking. How to remove Kitchen Tap Spout.
the shroud wont budge, to tight to turn, any ideas?
Thank you
See below where I have answered your second commment, Peter.
What screw driver should I use to remove the handle? Due to the placement of the hole (underside) I can’t seem find the right tool for it.
Hi Andrew, the handle for the Opus Tap is removed by taking of the indicator and using a flat head screwdriver. If your Tap handle has the hole underside then you may not have an Opus Tap. If you send a picture to sales@tapsandsinksonline.co.uk of your complete Tap we should be able to confirm which Tap you have. Regards Trevor.
HI Andrew. do you mean removing the ‘handle’ on the hot water side ? can you clarify or explain further as the above post is about removing the ‘spout’ whereas in your query you mention the ‘hot water side’
