Victorian Brass Bridge Tap8318 O Ring Kit 1506R
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.

Lamona Victorian Tap8318 FAQ
- Is this a Genuine Howdens Tap part ? Yes it is.
- 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.
- How do I access the Valve? You need a 2mm allen key to loosen the grub screw underneath the handle. See below for our DIY Guides.
- 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.
