Hose neck tap hot/cold lever not closing off properly

[Smk80]

Hi there,

I have a problem with the hot/cold lever on my kitchen hose neck tap. When turned on it does not close back off properly and I have to told the lever in place for a minute until it stays. It's as if something in the pressure is not enabling it to shut off and stay in place.

The water pressure in the house is fine and on all otehr taps so I can only assume it's something in the mechanism so after any tips/advice?

Thanks

Sounds like you need a replacement valve. Finding the correct one can sometimes be a challenge !
