Discuss Does anyone know how to take apart a SECTA wall-mounted washbasin tap? in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
1. This is a Victoriaplum tap, so its unlikely you'll find any proper instructions.
2. I'd expect the smaller chrome shroud to unscrew (anti-clockwise as you look at it) to release the chrome wall trim and provide access.
3. The shroud is likely to be seized in place. Try poring boiling water on it, then freeing it (without burning yourself). A rubber glove or Boa type wrench will give you better grip.
Sorry , cut your losses and bin the tap .
Ive just looked again. Have to say Town, even I agree with you. It is truly a carbuncle among monstrosities. I must be my trip to Halifax today that's made me soft in the head...
I wouldn’t waste 5 minutes on that tap, bin it and buy one from a proper local plumbers’ merchant (or almost anywhere but VP). There is a reason it didn’t cost you very much..
Dave, I know and this seems to be getting worse. However a local merchant (unless I'm just lucky) are aware of this and so keep cartridges in stock and hand these over for free when needed.
