Help tightening mixer tap in kitchen

[Missjoe]

The tap is a relay make from my local plumbers providers

Get under the sink in the unit, face up, pull the flexi hoses away from you and push the hex spanner onto the nut do this before connecting the hoses up to the pipes.

Ch4 plumbing - flexis won't budge :-( can't get the hex on

Okay sometimes that happens when the tap is to far forward in the hole? Can you undo the nut a bit with you hand then wiggle the whole tap around to get the spanner on then remove after?

Thanks for your help.

Could i I get a longer bolt? Is there a specific nAme?

The more recent Franke monoblock and Triflow taps came with a threaded brass tube with a nut brazed on one end...in effect a long nut. It screws on to the threaded rod that fits into the monobloc. It's about 5cm long so it's easy to spin on with fingers and to tighten with a spanner.
I haven't seen them except in Franke tap kits but then I haven't had to look! You'll also need to find if they have the same thread as your monobloc but it could be what you need.
Good luck
