Tap Washers

Post by alleykat »

I spent a good part of today trying to find a place that sells tap washers but to no avail.
Went to Homepro, Boonthavorn as well as a few local hardware shops.
Any info would be appreciated. Maybe Thais just buy a whole new tap unit when they leak?
This can be expensive if you want to do 4 or 5 and one is a double header unit.

Try one of the many hardware stores in HH - there is one next to the main Kasikorn bank on Petchkasm road near the traffic light interchange by Chomsin road, which has all sorts of items you won't find in the likes of Homepro.

Hi Alleycat.
I had the same problem last year. Finally I found an Y adaptor for a garden hose (in Thai Watsadu). It had 4 washers of the correct size - and cost me 24 bath.

It might not be the sizes you need, but maybe worth a try.
