Lamona Garda Water Filter Tap Valve and Cartridge
In some very rare instances we have come across an old Garda Tap with hot 20 spline valve / 50mm tall , stamped San Marco Valve. You can remove your own handle and check the splines before ordering to eliminate ordering the wrong valve. In 99% of the Garda, it is the 28 spline valve. There are images below showing the 20 spline and the 28 splines. If you need to order the 20 spline valve hot side, this is old 1212R Valve and you can order this here. If your diverter cartridge has 20 splines please contact us with pictures of Tap and part to assist you.
All the information below is on the basis that you have the 28 splined version and the only issue you have to then consider is which Hot valve to order and whether you also need a bush for the Hot Valve.
The Cold side is simply the 3466R.
Diverter Cartridge 3466R for the Cold Filtered and Mains Cold: Splines 28, Diameter of thread 29mm, Height 52mm Brass to Brass.

Lamona Garda Tap Valve Details (Hot side)
Originally a two threaded Hot valve, 4276R, was used in this Tap. It was later changed to the one threaded 3547R.
Sometimes when you remove the Hot Valve (be it the 4276R OR the 3547R, the bush 3868R might be stuck to it).
We have below lots of images to assist you in identifying which Hot Valve you have, and whether the Bush is stuck to your Valve or not.
4276R Hot Valve Splines: 28, Overall height: 53mm, Diameter at thread: 21mm – Two threaded
3547R Hot Valve Splines: 28, Overall height: 53mm, Diameter at thread: 21mm – One threaded

SMR 3547R Valve , Hot shown here.
NB Please look at pictures of Valve shown with and without the Brass Bush attached before purchase. The Brass Bush is sold as a separate item as it is not always needed.
It can be a common enough problem that when you remove your Lamona Garda Water Filter Tap Valve for Hot Water Side 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. If the Lamona Garda Water Hot Valve is stuck inside the Brass Bush then you will have to separate them OR buy a Brass Bush as well.
Here is the same Lamona Garda Water Hot Valve stuck inside the Brass Bush
