I'm looking for a valve to replace this one, I've tried Lunns but they don't have an exact match...

Is it ok to replace a valve with one of the same dimensions, but isn't exactly the same?

not always cause the number of splines on the top may be different
or the spindle slightly shorter.

have you a pic of the tap or make & model ?

whats wrong with that one ?
 
It's basically dead - the splines are sheared and the tap has been dripping for months now...

I don't have a manufacturer, but the tap is on my shower, it's the on/off tap

I found a valve on lunn's that has the same number of splines and same measurements, but looks a wee bit different, and was thinking of trying it to see if it does the job..
 
I might have been a bit vague with them...

All the measurements are the same, just looks different[/img]
 
them ones are missing the top threaded part near the spline.

do you need that part ?
 
may be worth a try then.

if your not using the top threads that tells me that are used on something else as well then.
