Thanks for the explanation. While I had the valves out I went ahead and took them apart and gave them a clean (lots of videos on YouTube) and...
Thanks. Yes, the reducer (thanks for the name) has a thread on the inside. It matches up with the thread you can see on the hot side, just below...
I am trying to replace the ceramic gland on my kitchen mixer tap. I can get the one off the hot tap fine. But when I take the cold one off the...
