Rangemaster Aquaclassic 2 TAC2 Tap O Ring Kit 1239R

• 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.

This is a Genuine Spare Part you are buying here.

Difference between Genuine and Compatible ?

Rangemaster Aquaclassic 2 TAC2CM FAQ

• Is this a Genuine Rangemaster Tap part ? Yes it is . If you fit a compatible valve i.e not from your Tap manufacturer the replacement valve can end up slipping on your handle and damage the handle.  You might need a new handle and another new valve.
• How do I know which Valve to order ? You need to determine where the drip is coming from e.g the cold water feed or the hot water feed. If in doubt, order a pair. There are more detailed tips / advice here.
• My Valve has a different coloured seal than the one you have sent me: Due to valve modifications over the years we supply the  Tap Valve that covers all these changes.
• My tap is leaking at the base of the spout, not the top, what do I need?  If your Tap is dripping where the Spout meets the Base then you need to replace your O Ring Kit.
• How do I access the Valve? You need a 2mm allen key to loosen the grub screw underneath the handle. See below for our DIY Guides.
