This is a genuine TapSparesUK replacement part specifically designed to replace Franke OEM part 1263R.
This model is designed for the Franke Ascona series; compatibility with other ranges is not guaranteed.
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.
Replacement frequency depends on your local water hardness, but generally every 2-3 years is recommended if flow performance drops.
Clean only with mild soap and water; avoid harsh abrasive chemicals or scouring pads to preserve the finish.
The aerator may be loose or improperly seated; unscrew, check the washer, and re-tighten.
Soak the aerator in a vinegar-soaked cloth for 30 minutes to dissolve mineral deposits before attempting to unscrew.
Ensure the internal rubber gasket is present and that the unit is screwed on straight.
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.
