FAQs
Is this a genuine Franke part?
Yes, this is a genuine replacement aerator designed for the Franke Eiger tap.
Can I use this on a non-Eiger Franke tap?
No, this component is specifically engineered for the Franke Eiger model and may not fit other tap series.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes, each unit includes a 12-month guarantee.
What tools do I need for installation?
In most cases, you can install this by hand, though a cloth-covered wrench may be used if the old aerator is stuck.
Will the gold finish fade?
The finish is high-quality, but regular cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended to prevent mineral build-up and maintain the luster.
Troubleshooting
Water flow is still uneven after installation
Ensure the aerator is screwed on straight. If it is cross-threaded, remove it and carefully realign the threads with the spout.
Leaking around the base of the aerator
Check that the internal rubber washer is correctly seated inside the aerator housing; if it is pinched, remove and reseat it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, unscrew the existing aerator from the end of the Eiger spout, typically by hand or with a rubber-gripped wrench to prevent scratching the finish. Clean the internal threads of the spout before screwing on the new 1263R aerator clockwise until firm. Ensure you do not over-tighten, as the internal seals are designed to seat firmly with moderate pressure. For care, wipe the gold exterior regularly with a soft, damp cloth to prevent mineral deposits from dulling the surface finish. Avoid using harsh chemical descalers directly on the finish, as these can strip the gold coating over time.
