GI Replacement Brass Ceramic Disc Tap Valve Insert Gland Cartridge Quarter Turn

Had a leaking kitchen tap, this fixed it. Easy replacement, quality parts.

I bought this to fit to an old Cooke and Lewis mixer tap with a leaking hot tap. It fitted fine and stopped the leak which is great certainly a cheaper and easier option than changing the entire mixer tap. I only had one small issue and that was that the original cartridge has a slightly shorter spine shaft that the tap lever fits on, so it felt a bit loose. I solved this by adding a washer onto the shaft so that when the screw was tightened the hot tap lever felt secure. It works well and was a decent price and it proved to be a very easy job to do . . . . I have given this 4 stars not 5 only because I had to tweak it with the addition of the washer.

It does the job and fixed the dripping taps and a lot cheaper than B&Q.

If you can identify your tap this is a quick & effective & cheap repair.

Fit ok, work ok.

The valve fitted well with no leaks and the splines matched the handle. However, the supplied screws were too short, so the old corroded screws had to be used again. Otherwise, a good quality valve.

Neatly packaged and arrived within half a day of ordering. Easy to fit and good value (I bought the hot/cold pair). I would certainly buy further plumbing products from this seller.

It has fewer splines on the top bit than Franke taps. I should have checked, but assumed, as it was second on the search results, it would be standard ☹️
