FAQs
What is included with this replacement spout?

Will this spout fit any Franke tap?

Can I return the spout if it doesn't fit?
Yes, Franke offers a no-quibble 30-day returns policy for this part.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. A mild detergent and water solution can be used for water spots, followed by rinsing and drying.
Is this a difficult part to install?
No, the spout is designed for a quick and easy fit, typically manageable for DIY installation with basic tools.
What does the additional PTFE ring do?
The additional PTFE ring is an improvement that enhances the stability of the spout and reduces unwanted movement during use.
Troubleshooting
Spout is difficult to remove.
Ensure you have fully loosened the retaining nut or collar underneath the sink. Some residue may have built up; gentle wiggling might help. If still stuck, consult a professional plumber.
Water leaks from the base of the spout after installation.
Check that the O-rings are correctly seated and undamaged. Ensure the retaining nut or collar is tightened sufficiently (but do not overtighten). Verify that the spout is properly aligned with the tap body.
Water flow is weak or aerator is not working.
Ensure the Perlator is correctly screwed in and not blocked. Unscrew the Perlator and check for any debris; clean it under running water. Ensure the main water supply valves are fully open.
Spout feels loose or wobbly.
Verify that the retaining nut or collar underneath the sink is fully tightened. The improved design with the PTFE ring should help, but a loose base fitting will cause wobble.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This spout is specifically designed for the Franke FilterFlow Olympus tap. While it is a direct replacement for part number 3987R / SP3987, please be aware that older versions of the tap might have minor differences at the base. It is recommended to visually compare your existing spout with the product images or consult your tap's original manual if unsure.
Setup:
- Ensure the water supply to the tap is turned off at the isolation valves.
- Carefully remove the old spout. This typically involves unscrewing a retaining nut or collar at the base of the spout from underneath the sink.
- Clean the mounting area on the tap body.
- Install the new O-rings provided with the replacement spout.
- Fit the new spout, ensuring it is correctly seated.
- Secure the spout with the retaining nut or collar.
- Re-attach the Perlator if it was removed separately.
- Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
Care: Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome plating. For stubborn water spots, a mild detergent and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
