Does anyone know if you can just buy the tap handle for this type of valve ?
Got about 15 tap bodies without handles now as the actual bodies last for ages but the handles tend to get mashed quite quickly.

Im in the exact same boat as you mate.
I wouldnt have thought so, as the black plastic handle is moulded around the screw and little metal piece that turns.
What im thinking of doing is welding a handle on, replacing the black plastic piece, and seeing if that lasts longer ;)
-
Maybe as its Christmas Alex may send us both 15 handles in the post ??? ;D
-
I hope so, turning my tap on and off with a little set of adjustable spanners is driving me crazy ;D

been ther done that but eventually you know u will cave in and buy some new bodies just for the tap handle ;D
-
rather than buying the black ones which I think are some type of hardened plastic, buy the double sided red metal ones as the handles don't break

tap system with the female rectus is £13.75 delivered
a little tip, take the screw out of the tap and put it back in with a little loctite as they tend to work loose

They do break and only last me a day before one side of the handle snaps off cheap cast handle not build for wfp.
Same old story the stuff we are sold isn't made for the job it's being sold for >:( >:(

I am sure the ones from gardiners used to be mental! the one i am using is an old one ive gone back to because the tap has never broke and its mental not plastic as they are now.
-
yep same here,got loads of new tap bodies minus the plastic levers.
I would pay a quid each for the spare levers,gotta be some profit in that surely

We are only able to buy these in as complete units I am afraid.
Personally I find that the Push-Fit valve handles are much tougher - they are also made of plastic but seems to be a tougher type.

This is what I use with barbs the push fit connectors.

Snags and issues with hoses uncoupling !
