Victorian Brass Bridge Tap8318 O Ring Kit 1506R

Check for Pinhole Damage Before Ordering O-Rings

• Always inspect your tap spout for pinhole damage before ordering a new set of O-rings.
• If your spout has a pinhole (see example below), replacing the O-ring kit won't resolve the issue.
• In such cases, you'll need to replace the entire spout.
• Refer to our guide: How to Remove a Kitchen Tap Spout to check for pinholes.
• If you're uncertain about the spout you need, contact us with details of your tap, such as a picture and any brand markings, so we can assist you in finding the correct spout.

Tips When Changing the O-Ring Kit

• Usually, only the black O-rings need replacing unless one of the white O-rings is damaged.
• Some white O-rings have an intentional split for use in spouts with a grub screw; a split does not indicate it's broken.
• Your new O-ring kit may include extra rings not needed for your spout, as some kits were later updated with a smaller ring for added stability.
• Use plumber's grease or washing-up liquid to aid movement, but avoid Vaseline as it can damage the rubber.

Lamona Victorian Tap8318 FAQ

• Is this a Genuine Howdens Tap part ? Yes it is.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
