HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED REPLACEMENT VALVES OR A SEAL KIT FOR MY TAP? If your tap is leaking from the spout (where the water flows out), you’ll need replacement valves. However, if the leak is around the body of the tap, it’s likely the seals (also called O-rings or washers) that need replacing. HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED REPLACEMENT VALVES OR A SEAL KIT FOR MY TAP?

Review: Great price - Arrived prompt. These was a great price at under £9 and fitted my standard mixer tap perfectly. Its a simple job just turn your water off taps on to drain water away then depending on your tap layout either lift off tap tops or release screw and to get access to your tap cartridges. then simple use a spanner to undo cartridges and fit new ones. I always put a small drop of grease on new threads to prevent them going rusted or sticking for if you have to renew them in a few years time. Review: Good quality & value tap valves - After isolating the water supply, l removed the old valve, smeared a touch of silicone grease on the threads of the new valve and screwed it in and tightened it up. (Before I undid the old valve, I did make a wooden template with cutouts to hold onto the tap spouts to stop them moving when using the wrench to undo and refit the valves) ## Features - Fix Dripping Two-Handle Taps - Pair of quarter-turn ceramic disc tap cartridges for many UK kitchen and bathroom basin taps, helping repair leaks without replacing the whole tap. - Check Fit Before Ordering - Match your old valve to the product diagram: 1/2" BSP thread, 20-tooth spline and drilled/threaded spindle for a 4 mm handle screw. - Hot and Cold Pair - Supplied as a pair for hot and cold tap repairs; confirm the opening direction and handle fit against your removed cartridge before installation. - Brass and Ceramic Build - Brass valve body with ceramic discs for everyday sink and basin repairs, suitable for hot or cold water when the dimensions match your tap. - Simple DIY Replacement - Turn off the water, remove the old cartridge, compare spline/thread/height/screw size, then install; correct measurement helps prevent leaks, wobble and returns. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00KG2ZKRK | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,029 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 1 in Tap Cartridges | | Colour | Nomal Pair ( Hot and Cold) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (3,964) | | Date First Available | 20 May 2014 | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 140 g | | Manufacturer | Seawhisper | | Material | Brass | | Package Dimensions | 11.9 x 8.7 x 2.4 cm; 140 g | ## Images ![1/2" BSP Tap Cartridge Replacement Valves Brass Ceramic Disc Gland Insert 20 Teeth Spline Quarter Turn Hot & Cold Pair for UK Kitchen & Bathroom Basin Taps - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XGLqwO7pL.jpg) ![1/2" BSP Tap Cartridge Replacement Valves Brass Ceramic Disc Gland Insert 20 Teeth Spline Quarter Turn Hot & Cold Pair for UK Kitchen & Bathroom Basin Taps - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719+Bwe9lWS.jpg) ![1/2" BSP Tap Cartridge Replacement Valves Brass Ceramic Disc Gland Insert 20 Teeth Spline Quarter Turn Hot & Cold Pair for UK Kitchen & Bathroom Basin Taps - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oD7HfVxnS.jpg) ![1/2" BSP Tap Cartridge Replacement Valves Brass Ceramic Disc Gland Insert 20 Teeth Spline Quarter Turn Hot & Cold Pair for UK Kitchen & Bathroom Basin Taps - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BC0rGSyBL.jpg) ![1/2" BSP Tap Cartridge Replacement Valves Brass Ceramic Disc Gland Insert 20 Teeth Spline Quarter Turn Hot & Cold Pair for UK Kitchen & Bathroom Basin Taps - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QpUSdGauL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: WHICH TAPS IS THIS VALVE COMPATIBLE WITH?** A: This valve is compatible with many taps, such as Franke Zurich, Franke Corinthian Filterflow, Franke Athena, Franke Danube, Franke Filterflow Zurich, Franke Helena, Franke Lugano, Franke Moselle, Franke Rialto, Franke Verona and so on. **Q: HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED REPLACEMENT VALVES OR A SEAL KIT FOR MY TAP?** A: If your tap is leaking from the spout (where the water flows out), you’ll need replacement valves.

However, the supplied screws were too short, so the old corroded screws had to be used again. Otherwise, a good quality valve. ## Frequently Bought Together - GI Replacement Brass Ceramic Disc Tap Valve Insert Gland Cartridge Quarter Turn - Tap Valve Cartridge Replacement Kit 12pcs Tap Washers for Mixer Taps Set with Ceramic Discs 1/2 Turn Silicone O Ring Gaskets Washers for Kitchen Sink Leaking Tap Repair - 2 Sets Replacement Ceramic Tap Cartridge 1/4 Turn 20 Spline,Tap Glands Seals Repair Kit,Tap Valve for Shower Bathroom Taps with Washers,Solid Brass Ceramic --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/47883358-1-2-bsp-tap-cartridge-replacement-valves-brass-ceramic-disc](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/47883358-1-2-bsp-tap-cartridge-replacement-valves-brass-ceramic-disc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
