FAQs

What taps are these valves compatible with?

These valves are specifically designed as a replacement pair for the Howdens Lamona Calaggio kitchen tap model.

Do I need one or two valves for my tap?

This product is sold as a pair, providing both the hot and cold water valves needed for a complete repair of a two-handle mixer tap like the Calaggio.

How do I know if I need to replace my tap valves?

Common signs include a persistent drip from the spout when the tap is turned off, or if the tap handles become stiff, loose, or difficult to operate smoothly.

Is it difficult to install these replacement valves?

Installation typically requires basic DIY skills and tools, such as a screwdriver and wrench. Full instructions are provided, but if you are unsure, consulting a plumber is recommended.

What is the expected lifespan of these valves?

With proper use and water quality, these replacement valves are designed to provide long-lasting service, typically several years, depending on usage frequency and water conditions.

Can I use these valves in other kitchen tap models?

These valves are manufactured for a precise fit with the Howdens Lamona Calaggio. Using them in other tap models may result in improper fit, leaks, or damage.

Troubleshooting

Tap continues to drip after valve replacement

Ensure the new valve is fully tightened. Check the tap body for any damage or debris that might prevent a proper seal. Confirm you have the correct valve model for your tap.

Tap handle is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the valve is correctly aligned and seated. Do not overtighten the valve, as this can cause stiffness. Check for any obstructions in the tap mechanism.

Water leaks around the base of the handle

Check that the shroud or cover is securely fastened over the valve. Ensure the valve itself is correctly installed and not cross-threaded.

Low water flow after installation

Ensure the valve's internal mechanism is not blocked by debris. Check the water supply lines for any kinks or blockages. Clean any aerator on the spout.

  • Includes both hot and cold valves for a complete repair.

  • Only compatible with specific Howdens Lamona Calaggio models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This valve set (MPN: 3794R) is designed specifically for the Howdens Lamona Calaggio kitchen tap. Always verify the model of your tap before purchasing to ensure correct fitment. Refer to any existing part numbers on your tap or old valves.

Setup (Installation):

  1. Turn off water supply: Locate the isolation valves under the sink and turn them off.
  2. Release pressure: Open the tap to drain any remaining water.
  3. Remove handle: Unscrew any decorative caps and remove the tap handle (often secured by a screw).
  4. Unscrew shroud: Remove any decorative shroud or cover to expose the valve.
  5. Remove old valve: Use a suitable wrench to unscrew the old valve cartridge.
  6. Install new valve: Screw in the new TapSparesUK valve, ensuring it is seated correctly.
  7. Reassemble tap: Reassemble the shroud, handle, and any decorative parts.
  8. Turn on water: Slowly turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.

Care: These are internal components and do not require regular external care. Ensure the water supply is free of excessive sediment, which could prematurely wear the new valves. If leaks persist after installation, re-check the seating of the valve and ensure the tap body is not damaged.
