I've bought some 1/4 turn lever tap reviver heads from Screwfix to replace the heads on a standard kitchin sink mixer in an elderly ladies house. The hot tap doesn't work so while I'm there I thought I'd swap them as the levers would be easier for her to operate.
Couple of queries, please:
1) Will quarter turn open the tap enough - ie is the mechanism geared differently to a normal tap?2) To me, the logical way operate them would be swing forward for on and push them back (out of the way) for off. But lever taps seemed to be designed to do the opposite. As the levers open in different directions for each tap I presume there's no reason why I can't fit them whichever I (or the old lady) want, is there?
Thanks.
