Damixa Kitchen Tap Leaking

trickstar · 1 Aug 2011

i have a damixa like this one that started leaking last week.

pic found on this msgboard..

anyone know anything about these taps?

does it have washers that can be replaced.

You'll more likely find that is a ceramic disc not a washer.

how do i go about removing it?

thanks

seco services · 1 Aug 2011

If i remember the handles just pull off.

trickstar · 1 Aug 2011

pull of this way?

tried that before and it felt like there's something holding them like a screw but i can't see any.

seco services · 1 Aug 2011

Yes that way.
If you look at the ends you'll have no cap etc to remove and locate a screw,
they are solid ends.
They are useally very stiff and are on a spline.

I do have the codes for the valves here, will sort them out.

trickstar · 2 Aug 2011

how much are the valves and where can i get them?

seco services · 2 Aug 2011

I know Bristan use to do them.

The codes are 13451 Cold
13450 Hot

No doubt others will do them as well if bristan don't have them.
Useally about £8 each
