    Hello
    I am trying to take off a carton phoenix opus tap spout to change o rings. There are no grub or allum screws just the shroud nut. Is the spout meant to just pull out? If so it is stuck. Is there a technique for pulling it out?

    What screw driver should I use to remove the handle? Due to the placement of the hole (underside) I can’t seem find the right tool for it.

      Hi Andrew, the handle for the Opus Tap is removed by taking of the indicator and using a flat head screwdriver. If your Tap handle has the hole underside then you may not have an Opus Tap. If you send a picture to sales@tapsandsinksonline.co.uk of your complete Tap we should be able to confirm which Tap you have. Regards Trevor.

    HI Andrew. do you mean removing the ‘handle’ on the hot water side ? can you clarify or explain further as the above post is about removing the ‘spout’ whereas in your query you mention the ‘hot water side’
