QUESTION FOR THE PLUMBERS!
When doing a Tapware service, what's your go-to washer to install? My opinion personally can't get a better seal than a dome washer. Sealing not just flat on the seat but sealing the internal of the seat also. Only one down fall... when over tightened, they can deform and get stuck in the seat. But advising our clients not to over tighten, we haven't had a drama. Other washers we have found end up with the same issue of leaking and our WA water chewing through the brass seat.
Also, when you install new Stainless seats do you rely on the plastic washer to last or pull it off and put a touch of loxeal on the thread? We tend to pull it off and loxeal them in as we have had them fail with the plastic washer. Usually, in most cases, the stainless steel seat is the last resort before replacing the breach altogether.
LET US KNOW!!!
PLUMB ON!! ๐ซถ๐ผ๐ช๐ผ
