Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Turn off the water supply to your tap at the mains or isolation valves.
- Remove the tap handle. This usually involves prying off a decorative cap and unscrewing a fixing screw.
- Unscrew the old valve cartridge. You may need an adjustable wrench or specific tap spanner.
- Insert the new TML valve pair, ensuring it sits correctly in the tap body.
- Reassemble the tap in reverse order.
- Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
Compatibility:
This valve pair is confirmed to be compatible with the following Howdens Lamona tap models: Rhone, Hi-Tech, Black & Chrome, and Adra. It is crucial to verify your tap model before purchase. The valves feature 28 splines and a 54mm height without a threaded collar.
Care:
As these are internal components, specific care is minimal. Ensure the tap is operated normally. If you experience issues, refer to the troubleshooting section. Regular cleaning of the tap exterior with a soft, damp cloth is recommended to maintain its appearance.
