Fitted a new kitchen tap at the weekend. The type with a base that goes into a single hole in the sink with a nut on the underside. But it came with a rubber washer to go between the nut and the sink and however much I tighten it there is some give and the tap has a tendency to lean when touched. I can't see the point of a rubber washer and was wondering if there was any reason why I should not replace it with a nylon one to try to give a bit more stability.
