Chaffoteaux Tap Body 61012963

The Chaffoteaux 61012963 is a tap body used within the diverter valve and hydraulic assembly of Chaffoteaux Calydra appliances. It forms part of the water circuit that directs flow between domestic hot water and heating duties, so the boiler responds correctly when a hot tap is opened. The component is listed by Chaffoteaux under part type diverter valves and hydraulics and carries GC number E23-517.

• No hot water at the taps while the heating continues to run, or heating warming up when only hot water is demanded.
• Water weeping or tracking from around the tap body or the hydraulic block beneath it.
• Domestic hot water temperature swinging between hot and cold as the diverter fails to seat properly.
• Reduced hot water flow, or the boiler failing to fire on a hot water draw-off.
• Scale or debris build-up around the body causing the internal movement to stick.

• Check the appliance GC number and model plate against the compatibility list, as several Calydra variants use different hydraulic assemblies.
• Confirm the number on the old component matches 61012963 or one of the earlier numbers listed below before ordering.
• Inspect the surrounding seals and gaskets while the assembly is apart, as these are commonly disturbed during removal.
• This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
