Wrong type of pressure taps ?

Kinked flexi connectors?

Air lock?

Are the others OK ?

Yes bathroom taps (also mono are fine) Have been told that I shouldnt have installed sink ones as these should run off mains pressure.Trouble is no one warned me when I brought them. If I have to change the whole sink i will go mad Do you know of anyway round this, please!

Not really mate,, youll have to change the taps I think,, contact the supplier and ask them if they can be converted

Hi gasman 1965

Sorry for sounding silly but converted to what and can you buy mono taps for non mains use. Hope that makes sense.

There are mains pressure taps and gravity tank pressure taps .. Basically the mains 1ns will be restricted in some way to deal with the pressure ..

Oh so I shouldnt have to change the whole sink, just the taps. Firstley truth time my names not Dave its Jenny, yes im a girlie. My brother inlaw is replaceing our bathroom and told me that there wasnt much I could do about these taps. Except live with them. If you think there is then maybe it might be worth me getting a plumber in when hes finished . What do you think? Dont want to start a family war by making a fuss.

Ahhh the truth comes out

In that case just change the taps for the right type and put the others on fleabay
