Leaking Tap

[pamjon]

Hi, we have a very small drip under the sink on a Burstner T615. We think it is from the connections going to and from the tap, as appears to only leak when the tap is switched on. The nut under the sink that holds the tap in place is very large and very difficult to get to. An adjustable spanner is no where big enough ie. about 5cms diam.
Any ideas anyone and or suggestions.

If its a Reich tap in my experience it is the seals around the swivel spout which are not available so replace the whole tap. It will save you time and damage caused by the leak. Reich Kama Chrome Mixer Tap - 27mm | Leisure Outlet

You need Pump Pliers (they have other names) to remove the nut.

This sort of thing ...... Amazon.co.uk: pump plier

If you DO need a new tap, look at Comet taps. Half the price and just as good (if not better) as the overpriced Reich taps.
