Kitchen Tap Spares

Look for the cartridge type stamped on your old part or check the specification of your tap, common sizes we stock include 35mm and 40mm diameters and thread sizes such as G1/2, G3/8 and G3/4. If your tap brand is Architeckt, you'll often find a matching Architeckt cartridge product information (Architeckt 35mm or G1/2 cartridges) so you can buy the exact pair. Replacing a worn 35mm cartridge with the same size usually restores smooth control and stops drips.

A dripping spout is most commonly the cartridge, and our tap cartridges (many priced at a lower price point) are the usual, cost-effective fix. A fixing kit (at a lower price point for Architeckt kits) is needed if the tap is loose at the base or the mounting hardware has failed. If you have both a wobble and a leak, you might need both parts; otherwise start with the cartridge to stop the drip.

Flexible tap tails are the supply hoses that connect the tap to your water pipes; we stock G1/2 flexible tails in different lengths and options (shown as Architeckt G1/2 Flexible Tap Tails). You'd replace them if they're leaking, kinked or you're changing the tap and need compatible connectors. swapping an old rigid feed for a G1/2 flexible tail makes future maintenance quicker and reduces chance of leaks.

A hose weight is a small counterweight that clips onto the pull-out hose to help it retract smoothly; we sell an Architeckt Hose Weight for Pull Out Kitchen Taps priced at the current product price. If your spray head won't fully retract or the hose sags, fitting a weight usually restores the spring-back action. It's a simple way to improve performance without replacing the whole tap.

Yes, the cartridge controls the mixing and shut-off, so a worn cartridge can cause poor temperature regulation or low flow; replacing it with the correct size (a G1/2 or 35mm Architeckt cartridge) restores proper control. An aerator affects flow rate and water pattern, and swapping or cleaning it will change splash and economy. If your water splutters, try the aerator first; if temperatures don't hold steady, the cartridge is the more likely culprit.
