Check for Pinhole Damage Before Ordering O-Rings
- Always inspect your tap spout for pinhole damage before ordering a new set of O-rings.
- If your spout has a pinhole (see example below), replacing the O-ring kit won't resolve the issue.
- In such cases, you'll need to replace the entire spout.
- Refer to our guide: How to Remove a Kitchen Tap Spout to check for pinholes.
- If you're uncertain about the spout you need, contact us with details of your tap, such as a picture and any brand markings, so we can assist you in finding the correct spout.

Tips When Changing the O-Ring Kit
- Usually, only the black O-rings need replacing unless one of the white O-rings is damaged.
- Some white O-rings have an intentional split for use in spouts with a grub screw; a split does not indicate it's broken.
- Your new O-ring kit may include extra rings not needed for your spout, as some kits were later updated with a smaller ring for added stability.
- Use plumber's grease or washing-up liquid to aid movement, but avoid Vaseline as it can damage the rubber.
