FAQs
Is this spout compatible with all Franke bridge taps?
This spout (MPN: 133.0069.224) is designed for specific Franke bridge tap models. It's essential to confirm compatibility with your exact tap model before purchase, as Franke offers various designs.
What does the 'O-Ring Kit' include?
The O-Ring Kit typically includes the necessary rubber seals required to create a watertight connection between the new spout and the tap body, preventing leaks.
How long will the 12-month guarantee last?
The 12-month guarantee covers manufacturing defects and starts from the date of purchase.
Can I return the spout if it's not the right fit?
Yes, the product comes with a 30-day no-quibble returns policy, allowing you to return it if it's not suitable, provided it meets the return conditions.
Do I need special tools to install this spout?
Generally, only basic tools like an adjustable wrench or pliers might be needed for unscrewing and tightening connections. Consult your tap's manual for specific tool requirements.
What is a Perlator and why is it included?
A Perlator (or aerator) is a small device fitted to the end of the spout that mixes air into the water stream. It provides a smoother, quieter, and more consistent flow while also helping to reduce water consumption.
How often should I clean the Perlator?
It is recommended to clean the Perlator every 6-12 months, or more frequently if you have hard water, to maintain optimal water flow and prevent blockages.
Troubleshooting
Tap spout drips after installation
Ensure the internal tap valve or cartridge is not faulty. If the drip is from the spout end, the issue might be with the tap's internal components rather than the spout itself. If the leak is from the base, re-check the O-ring installation and ensure the retaining nut is securely tightened.
Water leaks from the base of the spout
Verify that the O-rings are correctly seated and not pinched or damaged. Ensure the retaining nut or securing mechanism is tightened appropriately. If the problem persists, the O-ring kit may need replacement, or the tap body seating might be damaged.
Water flow is weak or inconsistent
Check if the Perlator is clogged. Unscrew the Perlator from the spout end and clean any debris. Ensure the water supply to the tap is fully open at the isolation valves.
Spout does not fit correctly
Double-check that this is the correct replacement spout for your specific Franke tap model. Refer to your tap's manual or contact the manufacturer/supplier for confirmation. Ensure no obstructions are present in the tap body where the spout connects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This spout (MPN: 133.0069.224, also known as 1507R) is designed as a genuine replacement for specific Franke bridge tap models. Before purchasing, verify that your existing tap is a Franke model and that this spout is listed as compatible. Check the MPN or part number on your existing spout or tap manual if available.
Setup Instructions:
- Turn off the water supply to the tap at the isolation valves under the sink.
- Remove the old spout: This usually involves unscrewing a retaining nut or cap at the base of the spout where it meets the tap body. Consult your tap's manual for specific instructions.
- Clean the connection area: Remove any old sealant or debris from the tap body.
- Install the new O-ring(s): Fit the new O-rings provided in the kit onto the base of the new spout.
- Insert the new spout: Carefully place the new spout into the tap body, ensuring it is correctly aligned.
- Secure the spout: Reinstall any retaining nuts or caps, tightening them gently but firmly.
- Turn the water supply back on: Slowly open the isolation valves.
- Test for leaks: Check around the base of the spout and the spout end for any signs of leakage. Run the tap to ensure normal water flow and check the Perlator's performance.
Care: To maintain the silver finish, clean the spout regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner and rinse thoroughly with water.
