Question

Hi. I have a Hymer Van which has a Reich (Keramic Trend?) swan neck mixer tap in the kitchen area - similar to this - http://rk-reich.com/product_info.php?info=p2_Singel-lever-mixer-KERAMIK-TREND-S--75mm-.html&XTCsid=e2ea9ca20146dd4649b7cfcd922bd8bb. Due to my own error it sprang a leak (frost damage) which I have repaired but access to the underside of the unit is very difficult as it has a red and blue angled connector like your items 239238 & 239584 and these are tucked up behind the sink bowl so I have to dismantle the cabinet or remove the sink to get access! 2 Questions - a) can I replace the workings of the tap unit with something with longer connectors that are easier to access? or b) is it possible to replace existing connectors with longer connectors 240115 & 240116? and if so, will these still connect to plastic hoses with jubilee clips?? Or am I better replacing the whole tap??

Answer

Yes, you can replace the short connectors with the longer ones and if you wish to connect these to flexible hoses with jubilee clips you will need adaptors 137877. To remove the existing short connectors you will need to knock out the horizontal pin that secures them. This is easiest done with the tap removed from the sink.
