Fresh Water Drain Tap
Hi folks
We have a 2007 Nuevo and the fresh water drain tap has worked loose and water is dripping out.
I was wondering if any of you have had the same thing happen, and whether you have a remedy, or know of how to cure the problem.
The external part of the tap is loose. The internal part seems to be fastened as usual.
Thanks.

Re: Fresh Water Drain Tap
Thanks Bob
The tap itself has got tighter to turn on and off recently which is why I think the tap itself has worked loose. Probably need to take it off, lubricate and put back on? Do you think silicon spray would be best as its plastic?

Re: Fresh Water Drain Tap
My tap was seized so I doused it with a kettle of boiling water andfreed it off . Then it just slide out upwards. Cleaned it up up and applied silicone lubricant. Job done.

freshwater drain tap.
Just go on the interweb and get a cheap water butt tap and then 'screw' it onto the hose, seems to work fine. You can use a jubilee clip if you need to but I don't find it necessary. I also put a plastic bag over the tap itself as it tends to get clogged with road dust making it hard to turn.nick1962 wrote:Hi folks

Nuevo Drain Taps
I had a similar problem. I took the plastic tap out together with fitting at the back. I then visited a local independent plumbers merchant with parts in hand who supplied me with :BobK wrote:My tap was seized so I doused it with a kettle of boiling water andfreed it off .

3/4 MXF Elbow
3/4 BSP Lever Valve
3/4 Brass Nipple
3/ Poly Washer
The fitting was straight forward, I now have 3/4 inch full bore drain taps, much better than the original fitting, making it much easier to use.
Sorry unable to insert image, but hope this helps.
