Plenty of ceramic disc taps.

Convert taps to ceramic disc.

User 587960 5 posts. I usually replace the entire valve rather than just washer as the old are usually limescaled or corroded and the valves are not expensive circa 3 at b q where i purchased a couple today. It is most often just a case of dismantling the moving parts and servicing them. It is very rare for the ceramic discs to wear out and the need to replace them is even rarer.

They are kept in place by water pressure. No leaks no drips just a fully working ceramic disc ta. I can t find a listing for ceramic mixer cartridges either pretty sure they still sell them though. Unfortunately in hard water areas they do not and it is as well to know how they operate and how to service them.

Tap conversion to ceramic. Below the brass locking nut you will discover your monoblock tap s ceramic disc cartridge. Ceramic disc taps are designed to last a lifetime. The retaining washer here acts just like a normal tap washer providing a seal between the tap and ceramic disc.

Post by gtv16v mon sep 13 2010 5 54 pm i ve been shopping around in order to replace the traditional washer type inserts on two pairs of bathroom taps as the brass skirt that helps seat the washer has fractured on two of them and another has a habit of getting jammed and preventing a good flow of water. Apologies if this is a dumb question but i am replacing a few standard valves on my taps which have either seized up or dripping. Posted 2013 sep 27 2 50 pm aest ref.
