Tap spanner

[copperhead]

Hi all is there a tap spanner for undooing the nuts of small wash room cornner basins.
Ive tride donky jaw ones and the longe handled ajustable ones and there both to big.

Undo the pipework and you can get a box spanner to fit up to nut

Hi wich pipe work do you mean as one end is soldered and the other has the afending nuts.

 

[Puddle]

thought you ment tap backing nuts,if you are talking about tap connector nuts,a normal monument tap spanner should loosen these

 

[copperhead]

Hi do the monument ones have a gap in to fit over the 15mm pipe work and on to the nut? The ones ive got are the long cromed handle ones with the ajustible head and jaw type.
The heads on thease are both two big to get in and turn the nuts.

go get a crows foot. and grind down the corners on a wheel.

I only use jaw droppers - but they're expensive

 

[copperhead]

Just googeld the jaw droopers they look the biz will they fit inside even the smallest of basins. also had a look at some crows feet and think even with the back ground off they would be to big.

box spanner and a monument basin spanner has never failed to get the taps out

But you can't use a box spanner with the pipe in place!

Perfect place to use a push fit system. You can screw a Hep20 tap connector on really tight by hand without a wrench.

how often do you need to tighten a back nut where your not dissconecting the pipe ?just to finish this thread of on a sour note i bought a new monument basin spanner last week first time i used it i dropped the head thru a gap in the boards under the bath and lost it

Whenever a DIYer hasn't tightened it up enough and it needs a bit extra.

monument duck[or crow]foot all you need un does swivells and back nuts but i get the duckfoot in on the swivels and the box spanner on the back nuts works every time

Steveplumber you must have been incredibly unlucky for a spaner to fall right through a gap in the floor boards, whats the chance of that hapening? Either that or the gaps where very large!!!
