Leaking galley mixer tap

[philg71]

The mixer tap on my 343 has a small but annoying leak. It seems to be coming from the join between the outlet part (that swivels) and the rest of the tap. Looks like it needs tightening up. Anyone know what I need to do? Many thanks for your attention.

Phil, all faucets are pretty much the same, marine or home. The "How things work" website is a good place to learn what parts you need to replace.

Thanks for that, Stu. Lots of good information on that site but I'm still none the wiser as to how to dismantle the faucet to get access to what i suspect will be a faulty washer or seal. I had a chain on it yesterday but was not willing to apply any real force for fear of breaking it. Do i wrench the faucet off at sink level or will i need to use a basin wrench from underneath? Will welcome advise from any other owners who havw faced such a problem !

Does Scandavik have a site with technical drawings ? You may want to check there

Thanks, TJ. Now I have identified the model and asked Scandavik if they can help. According to the technical drawing, the faucet does not disassemble from sink level.
