Kitchen Hot Water Tap

[bob huggins]

Since having central heating installed in April this year I have had to replace the washer in the kitchen sink hot tap six times.

I am advised that even though I have reduced the temperature of the water at the Baxi boiler I should replace the normal rubber washer with a Red One that withstands heat. Has any one any idea where you can buy these special heat resisitant washers as I cannot find a supplier at all.

Never heard of a heat-resistant tap washer unlessthey mean a hard fibre one,maybe your tap seat needs re-seating,you can get a reasonable tool from B&Q.
