Reginox Elbe Dual Lever Mixer - Hot Lever Over-rotates

[dannynolan]

The hot lever when turned off goes back further than it should, and with more pressure goes even further back, to the horizontal. I took off the H cap on the end and tightened the screw but it didn't help.

Would the Elbe QA-CR listed below solve the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Edit. I haven't gone inside the tap properly but it could obviously be the splines on the cartridge that are worn or the part of the lever it slots into. (I may be answering my own question here).

Yes, you should take at least the handle off and try to work out which bit has worn out.

Is it easy enough to do?

Reasonable plumbing experience here.

Edit. Both the cartridge splines and the lever the splines locked with looked worn. A new cartridge at a tenner, and/or a pair of levers at gulp £34 vs a new tap at £65 delivered. New tap the no-brainer.

As a follow-up, ordered a new Reginox Elbe, arrived with the hot tap lever sheared off.

Sent it back, ordered from a different supplier. Also arrived with the hot tap lever sheared off.

Both were the newer model with thinner, smaller levers. May have been a false economy for them.

Not sure as I'd recommend it.
