Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 30, 2014 1:04 pm I knew it would only be a matter of time... Id been warned that taps are flogged all the time.... But does anyone know how I can prevent it happening again? Photo below shows what was there, and on right what's there now. Do I just get a replacement tap from bunnings or do I really need the brass looking tube bit also? Or, was that just to give soon height and room between tap fitting and the ground? Does the tap fitting piece have to be brass and a special size and will I be able to just screw it on myself? Any help appreciated! Thanks. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Help!
