FAQs
Is this spout compatible with all Abode Atlas taps?
This is a genuine replacement for the Abode Atlas tap. While it's designed as a direct fit, older versions of the tap using the original 3218R spout might have minor differences at the base connection.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a 2.5mm Allen key to tighten the grub screw. You will also need to reuse your original grub screw, as one is not supplied with the replacement spout.
Does it come with everything needed for installation?
Yes, it includes the new O-Ring Kit (1425R) and a Perlator (1263R). You will need to reuse your existing grub screw.
How long is the guarantee?
The replacement spout comes with a 12-month guarantee.
How do I clean the silver finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching.
What does the additional PTFE ring do?
The PTFE ring is an improvement that enhances the stability of the spout and reduces unwanted movement during use.
Troubleshooting
Spout leaks at the base after installation.
Ensure the O-rings are correctly seated and that the grub screw is sufficiently tightened. Check if the spout base is sitting flush against the tap body. If you have an older model tap, there might be a slight tolerance difference.
Spout feels loose or wobbly.
The grub screw may not be tight enough. Use the 2.5mm Allen key to tighten it securely. The new spout's PTFE ring should also improve stability.
Water flow is reduced or uneven.
The Perlator (1263R) may be clogged. Unscrew the Perlator at the tip of the spout and clean it under running water. Reinstall and check flow.
Grub screw won't tighten or seems stripped.
This could indicate an issue with the grub screw itself or the threaded hole. If you are reusing an old grub screw, try a replacement if possible. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility:
This spout is a genuine replacement for the Abode Atlas tap. Please note that older versions of the Atlas tap, specifically those originally fitted with the 3218R spout, might show a slight difference in the join at the base of the spout. However, this new, improved spout is designed to be a direct functional replacement.
Setup:
- Ensure the water supply to the tap is turned off.
- Locate the grub screw that secures the existing spout (usually at the back or side of the spout base). You will need a 2.5mm Allen key to loosen and remove this.
- Carefully pull the old spout upwards and off the tap body.
- Remove the old O-rings from the tap body and clean the area.
- Fit the new O-rings from the 1425R kit onto the new spout.
- Insert the new spout onto the tap body, ensuring it aligns correctly.
- Use your original grub screw to secure the new spout. Tighten firmly with the 2.5mm Allen key.
- Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
Care:
Clean the spout regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the silver finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
