To Remove the Clearwater Vitro Tap Valve (3963R)
There are many versions of this Tap so please check your own Valve against the Valve details here before ordering.
The levers are Horizontal rather than Vertical to operate your Tap on / off, and so this tap should, if plumbed correctly, operate in the Opposite way to a standard twin lever tap. This is important if you are only buying one valve and not a pair. We would recommend that if in doubt as to which valve to order, if you do not understand what we mean by opening clockwise and opening anti-clockwise, order a pair and return the valve that you do not require. When we refer to a Valve as a 'Hot' valves, we mean one that opens Clockwise, When we say 'Cold', we mean one that opens Anti-Clockwise.
Usually, in this style Tap the valves work in the opposite direction to a twin style tap so you would find a Hot valve on the Cold side of your Tap and a Cold Valve on the Hot side.
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.
