Howdens Hi-Tech Brushed Nickel Tap3497 O Ring Kit 1239R

Spout example 1243R Locking Nut and 1239R O Ring kit

• We always recommend that you should check your own Spout before ordering a new set of O Rings.
• The reason for doing this is because if you have a pinhole in your spout (see example below of a pinhole) then replacing the O Ring Kit will not fix this.
• 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 us with the details of your Tap e.g a picture, together with any other information that you know e.g the Brand might be marked on the Tap, so that we can send you a link to the correct Spout that you require.
• Here is the example of a pinhole in a Spout.

Tip when changing the O Ring Kit :

• Usually only the black O Rings need to be replaced on your Spout unless one of the white O rings is broken.
• Some White O Rings have an intentional split in them as they might be used in some spouts that require a grub screw so an intentional split in the ring does not mean it is broken.
• Your new O Ring Kit might have surplus O Rings that may not be required for your particular Spout as some O Ring Kits had an additional smaller ring added in later years for stability.
• You can add Plumbers Grease to aid the movement or washing up liquid. Do not use anything like vaseline that will cause rubber to perish.
