Cartridges on 3 hole mixer tap

[Matt887]

Has anyone changed the tap cartridges on this tap?

Hi,
No, I haven't, and this might not help!

But it looks like you have all the information you need there!

Is there anything in particular you wanted to know?

Personally, I have found it much easier to take the cartridge out and measure it properly to find a replacement.

However, as many on here will testify, often taking the cartridge out and leaving it to soak in some descaler, will bring it back to life!

Thanks just wondered if the is usually something to hold back on from above to remove the cartridge. And if they usually come out ok. Is around 18 years old.

I would have a go and see what happens!

After 18 years they may be a bit crudded up though.
A liberal soaking of WD40 may help.

And although I can't vouch for the quality, similar replacements are available for around £70. Not cheap, but worth it to save hassle?

EDIT: maybe not, this one doesn't have a pop-up waste and the reviews aren't the best!

Good luck

The said tap is around £500 in total, Hansgrohe.

Are most 3 tap hole taps the same pipe centres. 200mm between the taps with the spout in the middle?
