FAQs

Are these valves genuine Franke parts?

These are high-quality, compatible replacement parts from TapSparesUK, designed to fit Franke Eiger taps. They are not manufactured by Franke directly but are made to function as equivalents.

What is the 'brass bush' mentioned in the description?

The brass bush is a component often found surrounding the valve. It can sometimes become stuck to the old valve when removing it. If this happens and you cannot separate them, you will need to replace the brass bush along with the valve.

How do I know if I need to replace the brass bush?

You will only need to replace the brass bush if it comes out attached to your old valve and you cannot separate it, or if the bush itself appears damaged. If the old valve removes cleanly, you likely do not need to replace the bush.

How many turns does it take to fully open or close the tap?

These are quarter-turn ceramic valves, meaning it takes approximately 90 degrees of rotation from fully off to fully on.

What tools are included with the valves?

The kit includes an Allen key, which is typically required for removing the tap handle screw during installation.

Can I use these valves on other tap models?

No, these valves are specifically designed for the Franke Eiger tap model. Using them on incompatible taps may result in leaks or damage.

How long should these replacement valves last?

Ceramic valves are generally durable. With correct installation and normal use, they should provide reliable service for several years.

Troubleshooting

Tap still drips after installation

Ensure the valve is correctly seated and tightened. Check if the brass bush was also replaced if it came loose with the old valve, as a damaged bush can cause leaks. Verify the valve is the correct model for your tap.

Tap handle is stiff or loose

Check that the valve is not overtightened. Ensure the handle is properly secured to the valve spindle.

Water leaks around the valve base

The valve may not be fully seated, or the tap body seal might be damaged. Try slightly tightening the valve. If the issue persists, the tap body may need further inspection or repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These valves are specifically designed as compatible spare parts for the Franke Eiger tap model. They are not suitable for other tap brands or models.

Setup Instructions:

  1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the isolation valves under the sink and turn them off.
  2. Remove tap handle: Typically, a screw hidden under a decorative cap needs to be removed to lift off the handle.
  3. Unscrew the valve: Use an appropriate wrench to unscrew the old valve. Note that a brass bush may come out with the valve; if it does, ensure you can separate it or have a replacement ready.
  4. Install new valve: Screw the new TapSparesUK valve into place. Ensure it is tightened securely but do not overtighten.
  5. Reassemble tap: Replace the tap handle and turn the water supply back on.
  6. Test: Check for leaks and ensure the tap operates smoothly.

Care: These are sealed units and do not require regular maintenance beyond ensuring proper installation. Over-tightening during installation can damage the valve seat.
