Howdens Antique Tap3801 Tap O Ring Kit 3646R

3648R Spout with 3646R O Ring Kit shown here in Brushed Nickel Finish

• We always recommend that you should check your own Spout before ordering a new set of O Rings.
• This is important because if your spout has a pinhole (see example below), replacing the O-ring kit won't resolve the issue.
• If you have a pinhole you will need to replace the entire Spout'
• Here is our Guide : How to remove Kitchen Tap Spout so that you can check for pinholes.
• If you think that you have a pinhole, and do not know what Spout you need, then contact us with details of your tap, such as a picture and any other information (e.g., brand markings), so we can send you a link to the correct spout.
• Here is the example of a pinhole in a Spout.

Tip when changing the O Ring Kit :

• Usually, only the black O-rings need replacing unless one of the white O-rings is damaged.
• Some white O-rings have an intentional split for use in spouts with a grub screw, so a split does not indicate it is broken.
• Your new O-ring kit may include extra rings not needed for your spout, as some kits were later updated with a smaller ring for added stability.
• Use plumber's grease or washing-up liquid to aid movement, but avoid vaseline as it can damage the rubber.
