Discuss How can I remove tap valve in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net
Hi, thanks for the reply. There aren't any grub screws on it. It is smooth all the way around on both tap valves. I was wondering if the shroud is screwed on or just pushed on, but neither side seems to move. I only tried with a wrench cad a rag to protect the metal, but didn't budge. I didn't want to try too hard incase I damaged the chrome finish.I would undo the shroud (the donut looking piece in between the stem and tap body), and see if it comes apart that way. Usually there’s a grub screw, or a tap handle stem that would remove, but yours may not.
Ok great thanks I will try that. What tool should I buy to unscrew it please ?Try pouring boiling water on it then and allow to cook, this may help free it up, I’d say it unscrews.
Usually some grips/footprints, protecting the chrome obviously. Try Moonlights suggestionnot a rubber glove, mimicking that of the boa constrictor wrench.Ok great thanks I will try that. What tool should I buy to unscrew it please ?
