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:
- Turn off the water supply: Locate the isolation valves under the sink and turn them off.
- Remove tap handle: Typically, a screw hidden under a decorative cap needs to be removed to lift off the handle.
- 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.
- Install new valve: Screw the new TapSparesUK valve into place. Ensure it is tightened securely but do not overtighten.
- Reassemble tap: Replace the tap handle and turn the water supply back on.
- 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.
