Galley Sink Tap Probs!

[gazzogs]

Does anyone know of a supplier for parts for 'Effepi' swivel taps. I believe this to be an Italian manufacturer. The tap in question is fitted to the twin sink on a 2004 Sealine S28. The problem being water leaking up through the swivel valve and shut off within the tap body. Have cleaned and lubricated all parts to no avail. Any ideas please.

Most taps are designed to come to bits & have standard renewable fibre washers or similar technology inside. If you don't want to risk it yourself, take it to a decent local plumber - or simply replace with a unit from a DIY store.

I thought with your boat being kept in Wales, you weren't opposed to leeks

We keep the cartridges that sit inside these taps - the most common cause of the leaks.

Hi Nick
Got the same problem with my taps. Why do you think they fail with so little comparative use to taps at home.
