Details

Standard 20-spline valves are common, but they will not fit handles designed for an 18-spline count, leaving many homeowners unable to fix their specific tap model. Moreover, a leaking tap wastes water and creates frustrating noise. However, this RC6 Rubber Washer Tap Cartridge solves this problem because its precision 7.6mm 18-spline head is engineered for these less common configurations. Additionally, the robust brass design handles the pressure of daily use far better than plastic alternatives. Therefore, you can stop the drip and keep your original handles. Consequently, you save time on sourcing parts and avoid the high cost of a full plumber call-out.
