Hi
I have a mixer tap that is spurting out water due to worn and missing washers.
It needs two "o" rings but also another tapered solid washer which I can't find online to purchase.

Any help appreciated in identifying the white plastic washer -which is clearly split in the picture- and who might sell it.

I might as well get the other (white) washer as well come to think of it.

thanks anyone

Always a problem tracing washer/o ring sets for kitchen taps - unless you know the name of the taps? You could try taking the spout into a small plumbers merchants.

the white washer is normaly split, you wouldn't get it over the flange if it wasn't, this is only to reduce sideways play in the swan neck. The important ones are the black o rings
