FAQs

Is this a genuine Franke part?

This is a genuine TapSparesUK replacement part specifically designed to replace Franke OEM part 1263R.

Will this fit other Franke taps?

This model is designed for the Franke Ascona series; compatibility with other ranges is not guaranteed.

Do I need special tools to install this?

No, it can usually be installed by hand, though a pair of pliers with a cloth may be needed to remove the old, stuck aerator.

How often should I replace the aerator?

Replacement frequency depends on your local water hardness, but generally every 2-3 years is recommended if flow performance drops.

What should I do if the bronze finish starts to wear?

Clean only with mild soap and water; avoid harsh abrasive chemicals or scouring pads to preserve the finish.

Troubleshooting

Water spraying in multiple directions

The aerator may be loose or improperly seated; unscrew, check the washer, and re-tighten.

Difficulty removing the old aerator

Soak the aerator in a vinegar-soaked cloth for 30 minutes to dissolve mineral deposits before attempting to unscrew.

Leaks from the side of the aerator

Ensure the internal rubber gasket is present and that the unit is screwed on straight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Genuine replacement part ensures long-term reliability
  • Restores efficient water flow and pressure
  • Reduces water waste by minimizing splashing
  • Simple, straightforward installation process

Cons

  • Specific to the Franke Ascona series
  • Finish may not match older, weathered bronze taps perfectly
  • Requires careful handling to avoid cross-threading during installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first ensure the tap is in the closed position. You may use a soft cloth to protect the finish while gripping the old aerator with a pair of adjustable pliers, turning it counter-clockwise to remove. Clean the threaded end of the tap spout if there is any residue. Screw the new TapSparesUK aerator on by hand to ensure the threads catch properly, then tighten gently. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the internal seals. To care for your new aerator, periodically wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to prevent lime scale build-up and soak the nozzle in white vinegar annually if you live in a hard water area.
