If your Tap is dripping where the Spout meets the Base you might need to replace your Riviera Lever Tap O Ring Kit 1239R

Please read below before ordering any valves as to which valve to order as this tap works differently from your standard two lever tap due to the levers being horizontal when the valves are turned off (closed).

Description

San Marco Riviera Lever Tap Valve Measurements

VERY IMPORTANT: Provided that your Levers are extended outwards (like open arms) when Turned OFF (which is the correct way it should be fitted)

Cold Water Feed (right hand side of your tap as you are looking at it) = Order a HOT CO

Hot Water Feed (left hand side of your tap as you are looking at it) = Order a COLD ACO

(which is the opposite to what you would expect, but horizontal levers open the opposite way to standard two lever taps).

Here is some further detail / explanation:

Provided your Tap has been plumbed correctly i.e. that the levers are extended horizontally when Tap in OFF position (and the Hot feed is on the left and the Cold feed on the right), then please note the following: The norm in Industry when referring to Cold or Hot Valves usually means that a Clockwise Opening Valve is known as a Hot Valve (CO) and an Anti-clockwise (ACO) Valve is known as a Cold Valve. However, in a Bridge Lever Tap where the Levers operate Horizontally rather than Vertically, the opposite applies (provided your Tap is plumbed as described above). This means that you would need our 'Hot CO' Valve for the Cold Feed and a 'COLD ACO' for the Hot Water Feed. If in doubt, remove your own valves first and order the same i.e if your own Valve has a blue seal, order the Cold ACO Valve. If your own Valve has a red seal, order the Hot CO Valve. If your own Valves have white seals, then the COLD ACO valve will have NO nick on the nut, whereas the HOT CO valve will have a nick on each side of the 6 sided nut below the splines. If still in doubt, order a Pair. Please see here an example of a Bridge Lever Tap and note that the Hot Valve is on the Cold Side and the Cold Valve is on the Hot Side.

The manufacturers changed c.2013 from 1212R valve to SP3819 valve. While either of these valves will fit in your tap we recommend that you order the same valve type as is in your own Tap e.g if you have the 1212R, then order the 1212R... The Valve part that is in your Tap will be noted on your installation guide that came with your Tap. If you do not know what valve you have, then you can remove the handle of your own tap and compare this to the pictures here, and then order the same. Here is our simple DIY guide How to remove the handle on your Kitchen Tap

1212R Valve Blueprint

If your Valve looks wider than the pictures, then the most likely explanation is tha the Brass Bush has come away with the valve, in which case you will need to order a brass bush part if you cannot separate
