Product Information

Full details

This guide is for owners of Franke Filterflow Olympus taps manufactured from 2012 onwards experiencing dripping spouts. The key benefit is a complete valve replacement kit that stops leaks effectively. A caveat is the need to verify your tap's model, as earlier triflow versions use different parts. This product provides high-quality, compatible quarter-turn ceramic valves designed for simple replacement to restore your tap's functionality.

FAQs

What specific Franke tap models are these valves compatible with?

These valves (MPN 1427R) are designed exclusively for the Franke Filterflow Olympus tap manufactured from 2012 onwards. They are NOT compatible with the earlier TRIFLOW version.

My tap is leaking from the spout, will these valves fix it?

Yes, if your tap is a Franke Filterflow Olympus (post-2012 model) and is dripping from the end of the spout, these replacement valves are intended to resolve that issue.

What should I do if the brass bush comes out with the old valve?

If the brass bush comes out and you cannot separate it from the old valve, you will need to replace the brass bush as well. These are typically sold separately.

How many valves are included in the kit?

The kit includes three quarter-turn ceramic valves, along with white plastic verniers where required for installation.

What is the warranty period for these replacement valves?

The replacement valves are guaranteed for 12 months from the date of purchase.

Are these valves difficult to install?

No, these valves are designed for a simple replacement process, eliminating the need for complex measurements or spline counting.

Can I use these valves in a Franke Triflow tap?

No, absolutely not. These valves are specifically for the later Franke Filterflow Olympus models (2012 onwards) and will not fit or function correctly in the earlier TRIFLOW version.

Troubleshooting

Tap still drips after valve replacement

Ensure the valve is fully tightened and correctly seated. Check if the brass bush (if it came loose) was also replaced or is in good condition. A faulty valve seat within the tap body itself might be the cause, requiring professional assessment.

Cannot remove the old valve

Check for any retaining screws or clips. If the valve is seized, a gentle application of penetrating oil (ensure it's safe for plumbing) might help, followed by careful removal using the correct tools. Do not force it excessively.

Water leaks around the handle or base after installation

This usually indicates an issue with the seals around the valve body or handle assembly, not the valve itself. Re-check the tightness of the valve and ensure all associated seals and O-rings are correctly in place and undamaged.

Difficulty identifying the correct tap model

Compare your tap's design details (especially the handle shape and base) with images of the Franke Filterflow Olympus and TRIFLOW models. If unsure, consult the original tap documentation or contact Franke support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively stops dripping from the tap spout.
  • High-quality ceramic construction ensures longevity.
  • Designed for easy, user-friendly installation.
  • Specifically compatible with later Franke Filterflow Olympus models (post-2012).
  • Includes all necessary parts for a complete valve replacement.

Cons

  • Not compatible with earlier TRIFLOW versions of the Olympus tap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility Check:

  1. Verify Tap Model: Crucially, confirm your tap is the Franke Filterflow Olympus model manufactured from 2012 onwards. These valves are NOT compatible with the earlier TRIFLOW version.
  2. Check for Brass Bush: During removal of the old valve, note if a chunky brass ring (the bush) comes out with it. If you cannot separate the old valve from the bush, you will need to replace the bush as well (sold separately).

Setup (Installation):

  1. Turn off water supply: Ensure both hot and cold water supplies to the tap are fully shut off.
  2. Remove handle: Carefully remove the tap handle to access the valve.
  3. Unscrew valve: Use an appropriate tool to unscrew and remove the old valve.
  4. Install new valve: Fit the new Franke Filterflow Olympus replacement valve, ensuring it is seated correctly.
  5. Reassemble tap: Replace the handle and any other removed components.
  6. Turn on water supply: Slowly turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.

Care:

These are sealed ceramic valves and generally require no user maintenance once installed. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials directly on the valve components. Regular cleaning of the tap exterior with a soft, damp cloth is recommended.
