Kitchen Tap needs securing.

[versioncity]

I've got a single tap which is all fitted and working coming up through the worktop, but nothing securing it, so it obviously wobbles all over the place. - is there something I can get to simply secure it rather than getting a new tap unit?

 

[Wayners]

Do you have any other fittings or is there a hole under the tap for something like this.

No other fittings, there is just a hole in the work surface to allow the pipes through.

Threaded hole under tap for the fittings in the link I sent?

Need a pic of the underside of the tap to see what type of fixing you need. Looks like something is missing though...

yeah got that thanks. - so I just put an additional hole in the work surface and secure using the rod & collar?

No.

The threaded rod goes through the same hole.

No, the rod screws into the base of the tap and is held by the c shaped metal and rubber washers clamped down with the nut using a monobloc spanner

Ok, thanks for advice everyone.

You won't need to buy a monobloc spanner.A flat screwdriver will tighten the one shown in the link above.

A screwdriver will tighten the bar into the tap assembly but a box spanner is needed to tighten the clip to the underside of the worktop

No you don't..A flat screwdriver will do both on that fitting.Nearly 50 years of plumbing and never needed a box spanner.

No disrespect but you don't need to have been a plumber for 50 years to know how to use a nut and threaded stud properly.
