Tap end required

[Martyn 4950]

I need a mixer tap.....mine has gone missing Its a screw thread female connection
Any suggestions before I have to contact VW for a new expensive one?

Mixer tap? You got hot water? Shower?

Seriously, can you post a pic so we can see where you mean?

Strangely he tap in the Cali is sometimes described as a "mixer tap" by it's manufacturer - Reich, so I guess it's the spout for the normal tap that's needed.

Have a look at eBay, search "Reich tap spout"... should be around £10 to £15.

eBay item

360978856615

Looks like the right one.

Alternatively whole taps are about £50... but make sure you get a cold only... not a mixer unless you've got some non-std hot water system.

Hi simply Dubs...so you reckon eBay item 360978856615, will do the trick then?

What happened to the old one?

 

[Martyn 4950]

I went and contacted the eBay seller re, Reich Tap Spout. They said that this item would not fit

Havre to say.. I'm pretty sure it would... Looks like the same click fit with "o" ring and it's not unlike the one I bought.

Personally, I'd risk it for £15 but ultimately your call.

Hope you get it sorted.

I keep these in stock in our shop. Have both chrome and matt nickel available. Can include postage for forum member at our usual shop price which is £13.25. Not sure if they would fit or not though.



The Reich tap it is from is pictured below.

Hi Rich..really appreciate your help btw. Here is a closer picture. Mine is a screw thread fitting and not a click fit
I could ring you to discuss if you send me a text....mine is 07912302773

Hi Martyn,

The ones we have are definitely not screw thread. They look like they just push on over o rings. The inside is smooth. I will do some searching with my suppliers to see if I can find the correct one. If I get any joy I will call you.

Cheers

Rich

Actually...im not sure if it is threaded. It may be just ribbed. My eyes aint what they used to be

 

[Martyn 4950]

Hi Rich
That would be brilliant thanks

 

[Martyn 4950]

Hi everyone and many thanks for your help. Sorted the problem with the Reich as recommended.
Saved myself £30
Brilliant

Had my tap spout come loose, and thought I'd fixed it by putting a new rubber 'O' ring on the threaded white plastic tap stem, and pushing the tap back on. Unfortunately it worked loose and wouldn't reseat properly, and I was confused by the lack of a thread on the inside of the spout, so I assumed something was missing from the inside of the spout.
Luckily, before I ordered a new Reich spout, I tried pushing the 2 together with the aid of a one-handed clamp, and after a loud click, the 2 pieces went back together. It takes quite a bit of force, (hence the clamp,) but it seems to be designed this way.
