Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This valve is exclusively designed for the Franke Triflow Doric tap, which was discontinued in 2011. It is not compatible with the later Franke FilterFlow Doric tap, despite their similar appearances. Ensure you have the original Triflow Doric model before purchasing.
Setup/Installation:
- Turn off the water supply to the tap.
- Remove the tap handle following the specific instructions for your Triflow Doric model.
- Unscrew the valve retaining nut.
- Remove the old valve.
- Insert the new Franke Triflow Doric Cold Valve, ensuring it is oriented correctly.
- Reassemble the tap in reverse order.
- Turn the water supply back on and test for leaks.
Detailed installation guides are available for download online. The product includes white plastic verniers where required for fitting.
Care:
As a replacement valve, ongoing care primarily involves ensuring the tap itself is clean. Wipe the tap exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. The ceramic discs within the valve are designed for longevity and do not require specific maintenance beyond proper installation.
