I bought a new ex-display kitchen monobloc mixer tap from Jewsons when they moved showrooms last summer. Unusually, it has 15mm to 12mm brass adaptors in the inlets, but one of them has part of the lip the 'O' ring sits in broken off. I can't find any way of buying another (all the plumbers...

Hi The person who told me the offset pieces were for when the feed pipes are more or less than 150mm was the guy who wrote the instructions which came with it! I guess one can use them no matter where the supply comes in. My problems are over as today I found the plates and 15mm compression to...
