Hi guys,
I've just taken delivery of a pull-out monobloc tap that has a large (M30?) brass nut to hold it to the sink/worksurface.
Also supplied are two silicon rubber washers, to be used one above and one below the surface. This is all clearly described in the (minimal) fitting instructions.
The one piece of information missing is the orientation of the washers, which have smooth side and one "ribbed" -- ie, one side of the washers have two concentric raised ribs around the circumference.
My question is: should the ribbed side be oriented towards the sink surface (stainless steel) with the smooth sides towards the base of the tap body and the top of the brass nut respectively; or vice versa?
Or doesn't it make any difference?
(This is possibly a trivial question, but I intend fitting the tap before I mount the sink and fitting the sink is going to be a labour of love given limited room in which to tighten the sink clamps; so if there is a proper orientation I'd rather get it right first time and avoid having to go around.)
Thoughts? Requests for further info?
Thanks all.
