G'day all,
First plumbing question - don't do much with this side of things except the odd washer/reseat.
Flickmaster tap in the kitchen is a bit loose - the hot/cold arm swings unevenly (bit hard to describe, but imagine you're in front of the tap looking down, the arm should move from about 8 o'clock (hot) to 4 o'clock (cold) -- but now moves from 5 o'clock to 1 o'clock).
Looked under the sink, got flexible hoses for hot and cold water and a threaded rod with a nut - arranged in a small triangle (rod at the back, sigh). I presume the nut secures the fitting but I can't get a spanner around the nut as the hoses are too close.
Any advice about how to get this thing tightened?
Cheers,
Adam
