Bath tap valve - deeper and longer

[uglybains]

Hi, I have changed these cartridge valves on the hot and cold sides but the mixer tap on my bath which throws the water to the bath's shower handle is slightly different. I have attached pics of this valve. It is longer stemmed and sits deeper. Local merchants I know don't sell them. Anybody here knows where to get them? Many thanks.

An odd one that, but try Lunns.net for starters.

Yeah. The likelyhood of finding one and then hoping it's got a longer stem might be a slim.

Do you know the make? Or a photo of tap?

Heres a pic of the tub. It was sold under different names last I looked on ebay though not there anymore. It's the middle tap and it's stuck in one direction.

Ooh, difficult one. As above, try Lunns.

What wrong with it? Can it be overhaul, new o ring and grease?

I've tried opening it up to clean but it's internals are different shapes and dimensions as it has to have 4 outlets/inlets openings as opposed to a normal valve having 2 openings.

Need a new one for sure. Scanned the net to no avail. Any other places I could try?

Try tap magician online. They supply all different cartridges. You just need to take certain measurements of the original cartridge and they will have something. They have got me out of a hole more than a few times. I highly recommend them.
