Abode Ludlow Bridge Tap Valve

As the Valves for this Tap has changed please check your original Valve to make sure you order the correct one for your Tap. Dates are only a guide but if you remove the handle you can check or email picture of valve with handle removed for us to confirm. Here is our Guide that should assist How to remove the Handle on your Kitchen Tap.

Pre 2010 : 1265R – Height (brass to Brass) 48mm / Diameter at thread 21mm / Splines 24 / Splines Height 5mm / Nut Height 7mm

Post 2010 : 1212R – Height 50mm / Diameter at thread 21mm / Splines 20 / Nut Height 8mm [We are supplying the white sealed version of this valve to cover all taps with the 20 spline valve version from 2010 onwards. Later 20 spline valve (3984r) has blue / red sealed but the white seal, which is slightly larger, covers both white and coloured valves with 20 splines].

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.

Parts might be modified by the manufacturers as part of their continual improvements. We cannot always guarantee that a part will fit an older version of a product. All spare parts that do not fit can be returned for a refund excluding shipping costs.

We ship from IRELAND so please see below for SHIPPING TIMES (by Post or Courier) before you place your Order to avoid any misunderstandings regarding estimated arrival date for your order once dispatched.

POST COST: For very small items: Screws, O Ring Kits, Aerators & some Bushes, we Post (£2/£3.50). This is NOT trackable.     Where we Post, and you have been incorrectly charged Courier Rate £8/£10, we will refund the excess shipping charge to you. Some Parts cannot be posted e.g. Valves.

POST DELIVERY TIMES - Getting slower to GB post Brexit & pre Christmas:

ROI / NI: Approx 2 days delivery by Post in ROI and can vary in NI (please allow for at least 1 week)

Great Britain: Unfortunately there is no such thing as first / second class mail in Ireland. There is just 'standard' post. Our current experience is that it is taking approx 2-3 weeks for goods to arrive in Great Britain by Post. But we are having reports of it taking even longer than this. This is outside of our control and the backlog appears to be due to customs clearance for all items creating a backlog, slowing down all inward parcels and post from EU.

COURIER DELIVERY TIMES Track & Trace (£6/£8) & we make no profit from these charges):

ROI / NI: Approx 2 days delivery by Fastways but it can occasionally take longer.

Great Britain: Average shipping time with DPD is approx 1 week (but can take longer) .

Please note that delivery times with DPD UK for goods shipped from Ireland are slower than DPD within Great Britain. Brexit means that all goods coming into Great Britain have to clear Customs and this has added delays to the process. Our current experience is that goods shipped with DPD UK currently take approx 1 week to be delivered, but it can occasionally take longer. We can provide tracking numbers if required.

Not shipping to UK Offshore Islands:

We are currently only shipping to England, Scotland, Wales, NI and ROI. We are currently unable for logistical & customs reasons to ship to Channel Islands, Isle of Man or any Isles off mainland GB. All we can suggest is that you might be able to have the Order shipped to GB and from the there get it shipped on to your own address if it is one of the destinations that we currently do not ship to.

BREXIT: Brexit will have no financial impact on our GB customers once your Order is less than £135.

There will be No Vat on Imports, No Customs Charges, No extra or hidden charges once your Total Order is less than £135.  We will remind you again about this at the Checkout stage before you complete (pay) for your Order.  For further details please see our Brexit section here.
