This part is suitable for the Abode Gosford Pre and Post 2009 Tap.

The current O Ring Kit consists of 2 black O Rings and 2 white ptfe Rings and Grub Screw.
Depending on the age of your own Spout, you might only have 1 white ptfe ring. And it was Called 1260R. Usually these white ptfe rings do not need to be replaced unless broken. The manufacturers have added the additional white ptfe ring for increased stability in later models.

Earlier 1260R O Ring Kit (current version has an extra slim white PTFE ring)
Note on the Grub screw included with the O Ring Kit: The grub screw takes a 2.5mm allen key. Please retain your existing grub screw in case it is an earlier version in which case you will need to use your existing grub screw. This O Ring Kit covers several different UK Kitchen Taps so you might not require all the O Rings provided in the Kit.
PINHOLE
- We always recommend that you should check your own Spout before ordering a new set of O Rings.
- The reason for doing this is because if you have a pinhole in your spout (see example below of a pinhole) then replacing the O Ring Kit will not fix this.
- If you have a pinhole you will need to replace the entire Spout'
- Here is our Guide : How to remove Kitchen Tap Spout so that you can check for pinholes.
- If you think that you have a pinhole, and do not know what Spout you need, then contact us us with the details of your Tap e.g a picture, together with any other information that you know e.g the Brand might be marked on the Tap, so that we can send you a link to the correct Spout that you require.
- Here is the example of a pinhole in a Spout.

Tip when changing the O Ring Kit :
- Usually only the black O Rings need to be replaced on your Spout unless one of the white O rings is broken.
- Some White O Rings have an intentional split in them as they might be used in some spouts that require a grub screw so an intentional split in the ring does not mean it is broken.
- Your new O Ring Kit might have surplus O Rings that may not be required for your particular Spout as some O Ring Kits had an additional smaller ring added in later years for stability.
- You can add Plumbers Grease to aid the movement or washing up liquid. Do not use anything like vaseline that will cause rubber to perish.
This is a Genuine Spare Part you are buying here.
Difference between Genuine and Compatible ?
To maintain your warranty and the longevity of your Tap you should replace any parts with only Genuine Spare Parts. "Genuine" means that it is coming from the manufacturer of your own Tap. You might see the word 'Compatible' used on other websites. You might even see same Part Code BUT "Compatible" means that it does NOT come from your own Tap manufacturer. Genuine Tap Parts means that the Parts have been tried and tested in your Tap model. It also guarantees that it will fit your own Tap correctly (provided that you have selected the correct replacement Part). We have had customers who fitted compatible parts in their taps and damaged other connecting parts in the process. It can work out more costly in the end to use Compatible parts.
