Carron Phoenix Inca Filter Tap Hot Valve
If your Tap is dripping from the Spout then you might need to change your Valves.
Here is our Guide 7 Easy Steps to replace Kitchen Tap Valve.
SMR Valve 1212R or 3819R – What Valve to order?
San Marco 1212R
This valve was originally manufactured with a white seal and stamped with ‘San Marco’ plus a date or code. If your valve matches this description—with ‘San Marco + date’ and a white seal underneath—please order the 1212R.
Please note, however, that some earlier versions have been discontinued, and we cannot guarantee an exact fit for much older taps due to differences in nut height between older, discontinued valves and the current San Marco 1212R valve now available.
Measurements 1212R
Overall height: 50mm
Nut Height: 6mm
Diameter at thread: 21mm
Splines: 20
Height of Splines: 8mm

1212R-C (cold Valve shown here. The Hot valve looks the same but has a nick in the nut).
San Marco 3819R
Later again, Taps now have the one threaded version of this valve, called 3819R, and stamped ‘SMR & Date’ .
Measurements 3819R
Overall height: 50mm
Nut Height:6mm
Diameter at thread: 21mm
Splines: 20
Height of Splines: 6mm
