Globe bath taps questions

Sep 10, 2003 1 Replies

Hi all



I have some of the above fitted to my bath and they are in need of replacing. I have have one of them off before and wished I had never touched it as it had been bodged when installed.



My question is, how are they supposed to fit to the bath correctly? Are they supposed to have a long bit of 3/4" threaded pipe that screws fully into the tap, and this protrudes through the wall of the bath, to which a pipe connector is fitted?



Do the taps need a good seal against the wall of the bath to be watertight? I had a hell of a job stopping leaks when I took my tap off, as there was only a very short amount of thread on the inside of the bath which to connect to.



Any ideas of manufacturers or suppliers of said globe taps?



Cheers



Steve


Sottini does a tap called Globe, which you can see here

this is the one you can call them on 01482 449513 - it's the upmarket brand of Ideal Standard I think.
