Kevin1908 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Any idea if I can buy soemthing like this in Thailand? God knows why the URL is so long. Arrived in Thailand this week and the kitchen mixer tap is only held in place by the flexy pipe connection. She says her son can get his hand up between the two sinks to tighten the back nut. All I can say is he must have extremely small hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 As with most things in life, correct terminology is the key. Try lazada and search for Basin wrench. Seems like the modern ones are plastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin1908 Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 I was in Do Home and couldn't find anything. Looks like Home Pro might be the place. I can only assume who ever fitted out the kitchen fitted the tap to the sink unit first then fitted the flexy connection afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a kitchen sink and faucet. And in the instruction manual is explained that the faucet should be connected to the sink before the sink is installed in the kitchen cabinet. I didn't read any further to find out what to do once it's installed. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have all the versions including the angled fork versions, though I don’t have the sleeve type. If someone were in my area I would be happy to loan out my tools. However filling in the user profile with location seems to be something people don’t do. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip! I've been a forum member for 16 years but never thought about that! Now sorted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
