Description
Abode Orcus Aquifier Kitchen Tap Valve
This tap requires 1 hot valve and 2 cold valves.
- A cold valve opens anticlockwise
- A hot valve opens clockwise and has nicks on the side of the nut to distinguish it from the cold valve.
- They should never be opened up to ‘interchange’ them as you will shorten the life of this Genuine Part. No Tap manufacturer would recommend this.
FAQ
My own Orcus valve looks different : Have you checked that you extracted the valve ‘only’ from your Tap or did the Bush part come out as well. See our gallery images for this valve and bush stuck together.
Nut Height: 8, Splines: 28, Overall height: 53mm, Diameter at thread: 21mm

It can be a common enough problem that when you remove your Kitchen Tap Valve it looks different than the valve in the picture (or the Valve that you purchased from us). It is most likely because the brass bush is still attached.
If the Valve is stuck inside the Brass Bush then you can buy the Bush as well. See below for link to purchase. You can try and separate them but if you damage the Bush then your Tap will drip.
This Valve comes with different Brass Bushes, the most common ones are
the 3868R with recess and the 3886R with lip shown below. If your brass bush is different, then contact us.

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.
