Olympus Valve Bush

• It can be a common enough problem that when you remove your Kitchen Tap Valve it looks different than the valve in the picture (or the Valve that you purchased from us). It is most likely because the brass bush is still attached.  Please see gallery pictures for more examples.

• You would need to re-order same Bush as the one in your own Tap (if your own Bush has come out when removing your own Valve). There is One Bush per Valve.
• We do not stock the earliest bush that has a very thin lip and comes with this valve in the image below [ see the yellow arrows in the image below] so if your own valve is stuck to it you you would need to try and separate to reuse.
