Pair of Tap Magician Replacement Ceramic Disc Quarter Turn Tap Cartridges (Pair) 20 Teeth BSP 1/2" SUPPLIED WITH SOLID BRASS SCREWS (Q548i)

Next day delivery.

ALL GOOD

I’ve had a few of these but it doesn’t take long before the tap starts dripping again.

These saved me a lot of time and money as i didn't have to spend time and money replacing the taps. Easy to order and i was surprised with the shipping speed as turned up the next morning. Took them out, fitted them as I'd already removed the old ones and was good to go. Can't say how reliable they are but my taps are just under 3 years old and the cartridges failed so i don't expect them to last a life time but for the time and money i've saved and the service i received, i have no complaints

The only supplier I found that offers a choice of sizes

These valves seem reasonable quality to first look however the cold valve ceramics failed on mine within 8 months of only light regular use. So be aware.Contacted the supplier and they sent me a repair kit rather than a new valve. Fortunately I'm confident and competent enough to be able to repair it . Others may not be in that position. So although there is aftercare under warranty it could be more customer capability focussed.

I ordered this item after having problems with a similar item from a different seller. That one turned out not to fit our taps and closer inspection revealed that the images were of two slightly different specifications of cartridges. Having different versions clearly separated in this listing gave me confidence that I'd be getting what I wanted ... In case it's of assistance to others, I ordered the VR04 item as a replacement set of cartridges for the VADO Victoriana "Mono Basin Mixer With Pop-up Waste" (AX-VIC-100/CD-CP).These fitted perfectly. The "cold" seems slightly harder to turn, but will presumably get easier with use. My only other complaint was that the retaining screws/bolts have slightly small heads, which I was nervous wouldn't give sufficient overlap with the handles ... so I just re-used the originals. Neither of these issues seem to merit knocking off a star. Will definitely look for "Tap Magician" parts if I'm ever doing similar again.

Do the job but are much stiffer than the taps they replace
