Tap Reseating Tool

The tap reseating tool is a device used to repair a leaking tap. It is designed to reseat the valve seat inside the tap body, which is where the tap washer sits. Over time, the valve seat can become worn or damaged, causing the tap to leak. A tap reseating tool works by cutting away the damaged or worn section of the valve seat and creating a new, smooth surface for the tap washer to sit on. This can help to restore the tap's functionality and prevent further leaks.

Yokelink tap reseating tools come in various sizes and shapes to fit different types of taps. They typically consist of a handle, a cutting head, and a guide cone. The cutting head is usually made of hardened steel or tungsten carbide and can be adjusted to fit the size of the valve seat. The guide cone helps to keep the cutting head centered and prevents it from damaging the surrounding area.

Please note that using a tap reseating tool requires some skill and practice. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and to use the correct size and type of tool for the job. In general, the process involves removing the tap handle and other components, inserting the tool into the tap body, and turning it clockwise to cut away the damaged section of the valve seat. Once the valve seat has been reseated, the tap components can be reassembled and tested for leaks.

The tap reseating tool can be a useful tool for DIY enthusiasts and professional plumbers alike. It can help to save time and money by avoiding the need for costly tap replacements and can extend the lifespan of a tap.
