Monobloc Tap tails

How are you supposed to tighten them into the recesessed body of the tap? Is it enough to just hand tighten them as they rely on an "O" ring?


Fitted one here recently. Instructions said finger tight.

Yeah, just done one, i'm not keen but i've done a few and had no failures.

(Tempting fate by typing that?)

I do up finger tight then nip up 1/4 turn with gas pliers

Hand tight is good enough to get a seal - a tiny bit more will also prevent any danger of it unscrewing itself accidentally while installing it.
