Genuine Rangemaster Aquaclassic SPA Filter Tap TSA4 Valve and Cartridge

The Rangemaster Aquaclassic SPA Filter Tap TSA4 Valve and Cartridge is a filter tap so the hot water is operated by a ‘Valve’ and the mains cold / filtered cold is operated by a two way Diverter Cartridge.  We would recommend reading all the information below in order to ensure that you order the correct genuine replacement parts.  We have included pictures in the gallery and below to assist you.

You have two questions to consider before you order genuine replacement parts here for the Rangemaster Aquaclassic SPA Filter Tap TSA4  :

1. Splines :
   • This post here explains what we mean by splines & shows you how to check.
   • Why is this important ? Do you have the earlier model that takes a 20 spline hot valve /18 spline diverter [1212R 20 spline Hot valve plus 18 spline 3448R Cold diverter] or the later models take the 28 spline hot valve 3561R / 28 spline 3446r diverter cartridge? You will need to know this to order the correct ‘splined’ part for your tap handle. We have come across models c. 2014, 2013 that have the 20 splines BUT we do not have a transition date for when they were changed to 28.
   • To check the splines use our Guide: How to remove the Handle on your Kitchen Tap.   You will need a 2mm allen key . Alternatively email us the pictures for advice .   Note * We supply the 1212R 20 spline Hot valve, stamped San Marco, instead of the 3984R 20 spline with red seal as that is the best replacement valve for an older TSA4.
   • What is this Brass Casing Part 4144R ? This is the brass casing that the valve sits inside.  You should be able to reuse your own one unless it is damaged. You can buy from the drop down menu.  It does not come with the diverter cartridge.
2. How do I know which part to replace ?  You need to determine if the drip is coming from cold water feed (you need a diverter cartridge) or the hot water feed. If unsure, order both. 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.

• 3448R has 18 splines and is the ‘match’ for the 20 splined hot valve.
• Two of the splines have a wider gap enabling it to fit into a 20 splined grooved inside of handle.

You might also need the Brass Casing that goes over this Diverter Cartridge. Any pictures showing the Diverter Cartridge and Casing together as one unit is for illustrative purposes only. They do not come as one unit. You have to order both separately if you want both of them.
