Tap dripping from the spout
Close the isolator. No PTFE on the jet. A cartridge only with the model.
A drip from the spout is almost always a cartridge or a washer, not the aerator. Close the isolator underneath. If it will not turn or is missing, stop.
Do not wrap PTFE on the jet. Do not buy “a universal cartridge”: diameters and lugs are not universal. A photo of the plate, the brand, a measurement.
If the wall or the worktop is wet, it is already a plumber. Qordac lists no partners.
What to do now (€ 0)
- Close the isolating valve underneath, if it turns.
- Do not put PTFE on the jet: the spout needs a washer or a cartridge.
- Read the brand and size before buying a random cartridge.
Minimal DIY
Household moves, not a building site. A stick and a deodoriser do not fill a dry trap and do not repair the sewer.

C) Who to call
No cartridge code, or a leak from the wall: a plumber.
Qordac has no tied tradespeople and does not book jobs. Enter the town: we open PagineGialle for that place. You check reviews and VAT. Not a Qordac ranking.
