Basin tap – really hard to turn off. Please help?

copper bathroom sinks | Posted by admin
Jul 28 2010

I have just installed new taps and a faucet in my bathroom sink (3 separate components – see link below). The only old parts that have remained are the hot and cold copper pipes coming from the wall. All the bits and pieces under the sink that connect the pipes are brand new. When I turn the taps on water comes out, and when I turn them off the water stops. No leaks either.

The problem is that the cold tap is really hard to completely shut off. If it’s turned on all the way so that water is gushing out, it freely spins clockwise to a point, and then it gets really tight/hard to turn. At this point when it gets really tight, the water is still coming out at a steady pace. You really have to grip it hard and use some muscle to turn it off completely.

I have no idea why it’s doing this… when I bought the set, there was no requirement to put in washers or gaskets as the bodies were already tightened up with these inside. All I did was connect up the piping. I figured they’d be good from the get go, but I guess not. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks very much!

There’s only a few things I can think of: 1) you overtighened the pipe threading that secures the tap to the water outlet
2) the washers or internal valves stems inside the unit were intalled wrong (especially if its only happening with 1 tap, not both)
3) turn off the water supplies, take the tap off AND APART, and spread some Vaseline to the internal parts, then reinstall.
