Lamona Garda Tap3524 Pull-out Valve

• Nut Height: 8mm
• Splines: 28
• Overall Height: 53mm
• Diameter at thread: 21mm

We supply the 4276R Valve which has a white seal due to internal modifications c. 2014 in this tap.  For Taps post 2014 you can select the coloured seal valve 3561R. If you are unsure as to the age, then order the 4276R White seal version as that covers all modifications.

Useful Tip about the Bush

If you remove your Valve and it looks different than the valve in the picture, it is most likely because the brass bush is still attached.  You will have to separate them OR buy a Brass Bush as well. For tips on how to separate a Valve from a Brass Bush, see here.

• Is this a Genuine Howdens Tap part ? Yes it is.
• How do I access the Valve? You need a 2mm allen key to loosen the grub screw underneath the handle. See below for our DIY Guides.
• How do I know which Valve to order? You need to determine where the drip is coming from e.g cold water feed or hot water feed. If in doubt, order a pair. There are more detailed tips / advice here.  This Blog post My Kitchen Tap is dripping should explain the most common causes (and parts required) to fix a dripping Kitchen Tap.
• My Valve has a different coloured seal than the one you have sent me?  Due to modifications over the many years that this Tap has been in production, we supply the universal Garda Valve that covers all these changes.  This is based on the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• My valve looks wider and completely different from the pictures here / the one I ordered ? Is the Bush stuck to your own Valve ? That is the round extra piece of Brass that surrounds the valve. Sometimes they can get stuck together and come out as one piece.  See the images below.  You can order the Bush part separately if needed. It is one Bush per Valve.
• How do I separate the Brass Bush from the Valve?  Check out this guide here.
• My tap is leaking at the base of the spout, not the top, what do I need? If your Tap is dripping where the Spout meets the Base then you might need to replace your O Ring Kit.
