FAQs
Is this compatible with all Howdens taps?
No, this is specifically designed for the Howdens Victorian TAP4826 model. Please verify your tap model number before purchase.
Does this aerator include the housing?
This is a replacement aerator component; ensure your existing housing is in good condition to receive the new insert.
How often should I clean the aerator?
Depending on your water hardness, you should check and clean the aerator every 3 to 6 months to prevent scale buildup.
Can I use pliers to tighten the aerator?
It is recommended to hand-tighten the aerator. If pliers are necessary, use a soft cloth to protect the bronze finish from scratches.
Will this fix low water pressure?
It will improve water flow quality and aeration, but if you have low pressure throughout your home, the aerator will not resolve the underlying supply issue.
Troubleshooting
Water continues to splash after installation
Ensure the aerator is screwed on tightly and the internal washer is seated correctly to prevent side-leaking.
Aerator feels loose or won't thread on
Check that the threads on your tap spout are not damaged or filled with debris; clean the spout threads thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the 1263R aerator, ensure the water supply is off. Carefully unscrew the existing aerator cap from the end of the spout—use a cloth and pliers if the cap is tight to avoid scratching the bronze finish. Clean any debris from the spout threads before screwing on the new aerator by hand. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the internal seals. For maintenance, periodically soak the aerator in a mild descaling solution to remove mineral deposits and prolong the lifespan of the mesh.
