Question 1

Hi my mixer tap end doesn't unscrew.  Can i still use one of these? If so hiw. Thanks

If your tap end is no larger than 20 mm diameter, the device should fit, although it will need a fair bit of 'shoving' to get the rubber ferrule (sleeve) over the end of the tap.  However a smear of washing up liquid will ease that.  As delivered, however, the fixture for the tap end has a small diameter hole and it is not readily obvious that there is a removable rubber insert to give a larger diameter hole.  I found it necessary to to dismantle the entire rubber insert from its plastic housing and to remove the inner sleeve I had to squeeze the rubber to distort it enough to be able to remove the inner sleeve. even then it did not just 'pop out'.  I had to use a pair if thin nosed pliers to grab the inner sleeve and than pull it from the outer one.  It sound more difficult that it is, but care needs to be take when using the pliers to pull out the inner sleeve because the rubber is very soft and can be easily damaged.  Once I had done that, I then reinserted the larger bore sleeve into its plastic fitting, then pushed the whole sub-assembly onto the tap, not forgetting to insert the rubber washer to make a seal on the end of the tap. After that, I slid the 'Jubilee' clip over and tightened that to secure the fitting onto the tap. The flex. pipe and spray nozzle then simply screws onto the tap fitting.  That does not need a washer seal because that screws tight up to the soft flange of the rubber insert.

Question 2

Will this aerator fit the tap size of 20mm?

Accepted Answer

Short answer.  Yes.  Mine is fixed to a slightly larger tap end, just over 20mm, but the fixing will allow for it to compress easily at 20mm diameter.  
By the way, if you read the detail on the web page I think it will mention 15 mm also.  The fixing has two rubber bushes and the smaller bore one needs to be removed to allow the device to be fixed to a 20mm tap end.  (I am of course referring to circular tap ends and not 'eliptical' ones for which I suspect it to be totally unsuited.) To withdraw the smaller rubber bush I found I needed to disassemble the entire fixing end and squash the rubber part to distort the smaller bush which was otherwise almost impossible to grip to withdraw.  I used a pair of pointed nose pliars to grip the smaller bush. Also, the smaller inner bush is such a good fit I found it was not at first obvious that it was a separatley inserted component.  I should emphsise too that I have related this tale several times, so goodness knows what Amazon does with these answers once imparted!

Question 3

Can this be fitted to my boiling tap combi tap?

Accepted Answer

Mine’s a mixer tap and the spray head comes with a few adaptors so I would imagine so. Cannot be 100% certain though

Question 4

Where can you get missing adapters from as I have 15 Mmmm tap

Accepted Answer

Hi, unsure of what you actually need. The end of my existing tap screwed off and the spray extension fitted straight on with no adapter required. It was a little stiff to remove, but once done works great.
