When ordering a tap spare part, things often go wrong in practice because parts look the same at first glance, but are executed slightly differently. Below we list the most common mistakes and how to avoid them.
1. Wrong tap series or version selected
Many taps come in multiple series or versions that look very similar to each other. Think of small differences in lever, spout or year of manufacture. This sometimes results in a part from the wrong series being ordered.
Tip: Always check the exact model or use the tap drawing to find the correct version.
2. Ordering based only on a photo
A common mistake is ordering a part based solely on a photo. Although parts sometimes look the same, dimensions, connections or internal details can differ.
Tip: Always use the technical drawing or specifications where possible.
3. Wrong cartridge or internal mechanism
Cartridges and internal mechanisms come in many different sizes and versions. A small deviation in height, diameter or indentation can prevent the part from fitting.
Tip: Compare it with the technical drawing.
4. Confusion between universal and brand-specific parts
Some parts appear to be universal, but in practice they are not. Small differences in fit or connection mean that a part does not work properly.
Tip: Always check whether the part is specifically suitable for your brand and model.
Conclusion
Correctly ordering a tap spare part often depends on small details. If you are in doubt, it is always wise to carefully compare the old part or contact our customer service.
