Compatible Lamona Garda | Victorian | Victorian Bridge Tap Cartridge Valve Pair Plus Allen Key | Howdens Kitchen Tap

My tap (Howdens Lamona Swan Tap) started dripping several months ago, so I cleaned up the cartridge and everything worked okay. Then recently a noise developed from the tap every time any tap in the house was put on. I assumed that it was the cartridge. After watching a video on You tube, I felt comfortable that it was a job I could do. I was unsure what I would be getting with these cartridges - was it the top half as per one picture - or the whole thing as the other? The whole cartridges turned up with an Allen key to loosen the holder over the existing cartridges. Fitting them was very easy (turn water off, ensure plug in sink in case drop a screw and have a wrench to turn the cartridge). I had to remove a small screw in the top of the cartridge so that the handles to the tap would refit. The results were excellent - no drips and no noises. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending these.

Firstly make sure you order the correct cartridge for your tap, direct replacement, good quality, purchased before for another tap of the same type, no issues with fit or quality.Well worth the cost to stop drips, both sides replaced as a matter of course.

Used these for howdens Lamona Garda tap. Cold fitted perfect but hot there is a little movement on the lever but does the job.

Do the job all good

Good replacement part, came with Allen key to remove tap handle. Easy to fit and worked perfectly. Replacement for a leaky tap and customer very happy.

Perfect fit for Howden’s Lamona Garda Tap. Was easy to replace my old leaking cartridges with these. Just need an adjustable spanner. I Made the mistake of buying some generic ones from screwfix which had the wrong tooth count thinking the grub screw would hold the handle on well enough. I was wrong. Do yourself a favour and get the right one for the job.

Easy to install and includes Allen key for grub screw under handle

The cartridges themselves are ok if they are the right fit for the tap you have. My issue was that the tap itself was so full of limescale and other parts were worn so it was hard to rely on just new cartridges. I suspect with most taps these days that if you have got 10 years out of them it may be time to change the tap, not just the cartridges
