Monobloc tap screw.

[sidd]

Hi everyone.

I am trying to unscrew the bolt under my monobloc tap, however the bolt is very unusual as you can see in the picture. I am also an absolute noob when it comes to plumbing. Going through tons of youtube video on replacing a monobloc tap seemed quiet straight forward but my tap seems to have quiet a strange screw bolted underneath.

How do i un screw that little :nono :.. Please, i need your advice and suggestions.

Many thanks.

you will need to remove the flexs first and the unscrew the 20mm galv conduit

Thanks for your message.

What exactly is flexs? and i assuming you're referring the 20mm galv conduit for the screw itself right?

Also how do i go by removing the flexs?

Thanks

they should just need a twist and of-course you should have disconnected them already from the pipework (eg hot and cold should already been turned off ) then just give the flex a anti clock wise turn and should start to loosen

Seen them before if you remove the pop up waste lever you then use an Allen key from above through the hole. Think they are ideal Standard taps

Thanks for reply chaps. Shauncorbs, It is rather impossible to give the flex an anti clockwise turn due to the two pipes (hot and cold) that is obstructing it. If you get my drift :devilish:

Buckley plumb Thanks mate, i will try with the allen key later today as it seems impossible to do it from under.

Cheers for the reply again lads.
