Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This product is a pair of replacement valve cartridges specifically designed for Abode Ludlow kitchen taps manufactured from 2010 onwards. It is crucial to verify your tap model and manufacturing date before purchase, as these cartridges are not universally compatible.
Setup (Installation):
- Turn off the water supply to the tap at the isolation valves under the sink.
- Remove the tap handle. This usually involves a small grub screw or a decorative cap.
- Unscrew the valve housing. You may need a wrench or pliers.
- Remove the old valve cartridge. Note its orientation.
- Insert the new TapSparesUK valve cartridge, ensuring it is correctly oriented.
- Reassemble the tap in reverse order.
- Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
Care:
These are internal components and require no direct user care. However, maintaining the overall cleanliness of your kitchen tap can help prevent debris from entering the valve mechanism over time.
