I need to replace my old Reich tap but can't understand how to get the red and blue taps pou of the water pipe. Help!!!

Jenny, July 2008

To remove the taps easily, there is a small pin running horizontally throgh the lower part of the tap (underneath the counter). it runs between the red and blue inlets and holds them in position. pop this pin out using a watchmakers screwdriver or equivalent and then just pull the two rigid inserts from the tap body, the inserts can then be removed from the pipes. If they are tight and there is enough flex in the water pipes, just slice the pipe down the side of the insert with a stanley knife and then cut this piece off. hope this helps

The water pipes attach onto the blue/red pipes on the tap (normally) by a straight forward push on/pull off. On the red/blu bits that are on the taps there is an O ring and that is where the tension is to make it water tight.

I have seen variations that have a jubilee type clip or a twist tight clip
