Description
This valve is in the Howdens Lamona Victorian Tap4802 Chrome and Tap4822 Brushed Nickel Kitchen Taps. If your Tap4802 /Tap4822 is dripping from the Spout continuously then you might need to change your Valves. If it is only dripping intermittently then it is possible that debris is stuck behind the Aerator at the tip of the spout.
We have included pictures here of what your Valve should look like (with or without the bush around it) and also a picture of the other Howdens Lamona Victorian Tap4801 Valve as that is a different looking valve.
Ideally you should remove your own valve before ordering a replacement valve to ensure that you order the correct one and that way you would also know if you require the brass bush or not.
Nut Height: 8mm, Splines: 28, Overall height: 53mm, Diameter at thread: 21mm

- 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.

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.
