FAQs
Is this handle compatible with all Franke taps?
No, this handle is specifically designed for the Franke Zurich and Franke FilterFlow Zurich tap models. Please check your tap's model before purchasing.
Does this replacement handle come with the necessary screw?
Typically, the handle is designed to use the original screw from your tap. If a screw is included, it will be specified. It's best to check the product packaging upon arrival.
How long will the 12-month guarantee last?
The 12-month guarantee covers manufacturing defects from the date of purchase.
Can I use this handle for both hot and cold water?
No, this is a replacement handle specifically for the hot water side of the tap. It is finished in silver and usually marked with a red indicator on the original handle.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will typically need a small flat-head screwdriver to remove the decorative cap and a Phillips head screwdriver to remove and tighten the retaining screw.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads to prevent scratching the chrome surface.
Troubleshooting
Handle does not fit the tap.
Ensure you have a compatible Franke Zurich or FilterFlow Zurich tap model. This handle is specific to these models and the hot water side.
Screw will not tighten or feels stripped.
Check that you are using the correct screw and that the thread on the tap's valve stem is not damaged. If the valve stem is damaged, the entire valve may need replacement.
Handle is loose after installation.
Ensure the retaining screw is fully tightened. If the issue persists, the valve stem might be worn, requiring replacement of the tap's valve cartridge.
Water leaks around the handle.
This usually indicates an issue with the internal valve cartridge, not the handle itself. The valve cartridge will likely need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility:
This handle is specifically designed for Franke Zurich and Franke FilterFlow Zurich taps. Please verify your tap model before attempting installation. It is intended for the hot water side only.
Setup:
- Turn off the water supply to your tap at the main valve.
- Identify the small decorative cap on the existing handle (usually red for hot).
- Gently pry off the cap using a small, flat-head screwdriver or similar tool.
- You will see a screw underneath. Unscrew this to detach the old handle.
- Align the new TapSparesUK handle with the valve stem.
- Secure the new handle using the provided screw (or the original screw if it is in good condition).
- Replace the decorative cap.
- Turn the water supply back on and test the handle for smooth operation.
Care:
- Clean the handle regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the chrome finish.
