Details

Leaking taps are not only annoying but also lead to higher water bills and sink stains. However, many modern ceramic valves fail prematurely due to grit in the water. This RC5 Rubber Washer Tap Cartridge solves this problem because the compression rubber mechanism is far more durable and debris-tolerant. Additionally, the standardised 7.7mm 20-spline head ensures your original handles fit perfectly. Therefore, you can stop wasteful leaks for good. Consequently, you will enjoy a quiet, leak-free home while extending the life of your existing tapware.
