Description

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 a picture of the 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 seals 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.
