One for the plumbers?
Hi,
SWMBO will be trying to track down a replacement sealing fibre washer for me tomorrow from a local plumbing emporium. I'm rather stuck for describing the actual one needed and I cannot provide her with the washer as a sample as this would mean leaving the water off.... The washer provides a seal between the connection between a wash basin tap and the 15mm pipe fitting. The roughly 1/2 OD washer fits on a shouldered fitting a union then pulls the tap and fitting together. Probably an O ring would work just as well. What correct name for this pipe fitting please? I've just removed several of the taps in the house to repair and/or replace them. The sealing washer on this one was damaged, so I have had to put it back together with a small weepage, at least until the shops reopen on Monday. -- -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.org |
