Hi,
I am going to replace the washer on my mixer tap.
I have supplied some photos of the item in question.
Ive never seen a washer like this before.
It looks like a top hat ?
The main body of the rubber wash is about 16mm and fits inside the brass section.
Then there is a flat rubber section which i assume makes the seal ?
This section is only about 2mm thick & 18mm diameter.

Can you advise if any of the items are correct for me please.

Item 2

These are listed as 3/4

Neither are correct. You need a standard half inch tap washer. It's only wider at the end because someone has been screwing it closed too tight, crushing the washer and squeezing it out at the sides.
 
Looks like they've used the same picture for both. I'd go for the Holdtite ones

Now done.
When i went to collect them one was much bigger than the other.
I took the smaller washers and worked fine.

I fitted 2070J which measured 16mm diameter

Thanks
