FAQs
Is this a genuine Franke part?
Yes, this is a genuine replacement part specifically designed for Franke Eiger series taps.
What happens if my tap model is not an Eiger?
This specific part (1263R) is tailored for the Eiger range. While it fits certain shared components, you should check your specific tap model number before purchase.
How often should I replace the aerator?
Replacement frequency depends on your local water hardness. If you notice splashing or a drop in pressure, it is time for a replacement.
Does this aerator come with a warranty?
Yes, it includes a 12-month guarantee to ensure performance and reliability.
Can I use pliers to tighten the aerator?
It is recommended to tighten by hand. If you must use tools, wrap the aerator in a thick cloth to avoid damaging the silver finish.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking from the sides of the aerator housing
Ensure the aerator is screwed on tightly and that the internal washer is seated correctly and is not damaged.
Flow remains restricted after replacement
Check the tap spout for internal blockages or debris that may have migrated further up into the pipework.
The aerator will not thread onto the spout
Verify that you have the correct Franke Eiger model and ensure the threads on both the tap and the new part are clean and free of grit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Genuine manufacturer-specified part for Franke taps
- Easy, tool-free installation for most users
- Restores original aeration and flow patterns
- Sleek silver finish blends seamlessly with the tap assembly

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward but requires patience. First, ensure the tap is turned off completely. Use a soft cloth to grip the existing aerator casing to prevent scratching the finish, and unscrew it in a counter-clockwise direction. Before installing the new 1263R aerator, inspect the tap spout for any loose mineral buildup and clean the area. Screw the new component on by hand until it is snug; avoid using pliers directly on the silver housing, as this can mar the finish. To care for your aerator, periodically wipe it with a damp cloth and a mild vinegar solution if you live in a hard water area to prevent early scale buildup.
