I bought a water filter and when I went to put it on my faucet, I realized that I have a tamper proof faucet. Looked online and it seems I need some sort of key, which of course I do not have. How can I take the arerator off without the key? Thank you. |

check the brand and write or email the manufacturer to order a key. Or, call a plumber. Ask the plumber for a key, then you will have one next time. Last edited by ShaneSA; 12-03-2008 at 08:10 PM.. Reason: forgot |

Sounds like a moen product? The "keys" always come with the fawcett in my experience. The problem is they don't often make it to the new home buyer. |

I found a small pair of needle nosed pliers makes a good key for any tamper resistant faucet aerator . |

Why in the heck would someone try to prevent the removal of the screen ("aerator")? I'd say grab the ring with some vise grips and unscrew it. But I am not really sure what it is that makes it "tamper proof". Maybe you need to buy a set of Torx bits? |
