Hello,
I have a problem with installing a single-lever, single-hole washbasin faucet from HANSAMIX (01092283). The pre-assembled base gasket seems to be too thick, because when inserting the faucet, it sits about 3 mm (1/8 inch) above the rubber gasket. Of course, the gasket is meant to provide some spacing to seal the base of the faucet when tightening. But when I attach and tighten the crescent washer, the faucet does not pull down but instead tilts forward toward the basin rather than settling flat and vertical on the mounting surface. This can’t be normal, right?
Is this a design flaw? Given the price and brand, it shouldn’t be an issue. But the gasket is definitely too thick. What do you think, and what would you recommend doing?
Here are some pictures of the described problem:

When I was tightening it, I wondered why the metal disc was scraping against the ceramic. After looking at the instructions, it became clear that there must be a plastic piece between the metal crescent and the ceramic. Here it is solved by having a hard rubber piece attached to the crescent – it is a ready-made part.
