Just for info/interest really.
Had a call from a guy who's hot tap was dripping badly after having the boiler changed to a combi. Reasonable given the now mains pressure (which was exceptionally high).
Details given over the phone where that the taps turned on/off in a quarter turn and had lever handles as used by people with arthritis.
I assumed they were ceramic cartridges, but not the case. Standard looking head gear & normal washers. Further dissection revealed they worked on an extremely coarse thread, allowing the quarter turn on/off.
Replaced the washer & whacked a reseating tool over the seat just to be sure.
Couldn't believe my eyes when I turned the hot water back on, the tap turned off normally, then started to open all by itself! Spooky! You could actually watch it moving!
The water pressure was high enough to overcome the coarse thread and slightly open the tap.
Sorted it by putting in a service valve & part closing it to reduce the pressure.
Just for info.
