[@annaspuppykicker]

[@gordonkwso]

Thanks for the video, I think it would be useful if you can provide the name of the toolings and perhaps a link to buy them on your website.

[@bandq]

You're welcome Gordon 😊 Thank you for the suggestion! We'll be sure to pass your comments back to the relevant team for review 🙌

bnq is the best

[@leoharbord]

I don’t have any isolation valves or fittings to the pipe work so wondering how the tap can be removed without these. Only fitting I can see is at the very base of the tap which looks like an olive. Very bizarre set up!

[@ryanxezter3910]

Is there a way to contact plumbing services at bnq and ask for a plumber for help

[@bandq]

Hi, there! We'd recommend checking out this link for further advise regarding this: www.diy.com/services/needhelp. Hope this helps!

[@chinchilla1956]

This is great video, but my bolt is rusted and i can not get it off!!

[@JohnSmith-uo6jv]

I don’t have a compression fitting, it looks like the ends of the tap are soldered to the pipe! Time to call a plumber?
