Lamona Rhone Brushed Cashmere Tap3459 Valve

Replace the Valve in your Lamona Rhone Brushed Cashmere Tap if your tap is dripping from either the tip of the spout e.g the aerator end, or from the handle.

Please note that the original 3547R Valve has been discontinued c. 2014 and the replacement 3547R has a flatter seal (from 2015 onwards).

• Where your Valve is stamped 2014 or earlier: Please select the Valve 4276R, which is a two threaded Valve. It will look different than your own one threaded valve but it is the Valve that you need because it has a larger white seal underneath
• Where your Valve is stamped 2015 or later: You can select the 3547R one threaded valve which is the same valve that is in your Tap.
• Please note that rarely, a customer, when fitting the 4276R valve with white seal underneath, reports a slight gap between handle and body of the tap. This is due to the larger white seal. This seal will flatten with use. If you wish to buy the 3547R and your tap continues to drip, we will not replace under 1 year warranty if your Tap is 2014 or older. Please retain your old valve as proof of age of your own Tap. The valve will have a date stamped on it.

Bush Part 3408R

• There is a bush 3408R (8 x 36mm) that surrounds the valve.
• If the two parts i.e the bush and the valve come out stuck together and you can’t separate, then you would need to buy a new bush 3408R.

Howdens Lamona Rhone Tap3456 Valve FAQ

• Is this a Genuine Howdens Tap part ? Yes it is.
• How do I access the Valve? You need to remove the indicator at the side of the handle.  Then a Philips screwdriver will remove the screw to free the handle for access to the valve.
• How do I know which Valve to order? You need to determine where the drip is coming from e.g cold water feed or hot water feed. If in doubt, order a pair. There are more detailed tips / advice here.  This Blog post My Kitchen Tap is dripping should explain the most common causes (and parts required) to fix a dripping Kitchen Tap.
• My valve looks wider and completely different from the pictures here / the one I ordered ? Is the Bush stuck to your own Valve ? That is the round extra piece of Brass that surrounds the valve. Sometimes they can get stuck together and come out as one piece.  See the images below.  You can order the Bush part separately if needed. It is one Bush per Valve.
• How do I separate the Brass Bush from the Valve?  Check out this guide here.
• My tap is leaking at the base of the spout, not the top, what do I need? If your Tap is dripping where the Spout meets the Base then you might need to replace your O Ring Kit.
