Question

Reich Mixer tap (silver plastic) Have had to remove sink tap due to faults with leakage and micro switch. To enable removal of tap had to cut plastic hot and cold water feed pipes. Not sure which Do you have any idea which model of tap this might be? There are two 8 mm copper pipes leading from the tap housing. Can your firm supply a replacement tap unit and items such as 8-10mm push fit reducers, 10 mm straight through couplings + appropriate red and blue plastic water pipe? I think this is 10 mm but it might be 12 mm if using outside diameter od pipe. Thanks for your help. Jeff Welch.

Answer

The water pipes should be 12mm outside diameter, our parts 131506 and 127830. The 12mm straight couplings are part 129921 and the 10mm is part 129920. Most Reich taps are available with a 12mm male connection to fit directly into part 129921. All taps are supplied with microswitches. The size of the hole in the worksurface or sink will often determine which tap is suitable and generally the kitchen taps will have a longer spout than those fitted in a bathroom. Some taps are plastic and some are metal. It is often easiest to email us a picture of the tap with the installation hole size and then we can suggest a replacement.
