Check for Pinhole Damage Before Ordering O-Rings

• Always inspect your tap spout for pinhole damage before ordering a new set of O-rings.
• If your spout has a pinhole (see example below), replacing the O-ring kit won't resolve the issue.
• In such cases, you'll need to replace the entire spout.
• Refer to our guide: How to Remove a Kitchen Tap Spout to check for pinholes.
• If you're uncertain about the spout you need, contact us with details of your tap, such as a picture and any brand markings, so we can assist you in finding the correct spout.

Tips When Changing the O-Ring Kit

• Usually, only the black O-rings need replacing unless one of the white O-rings is damaged.
• Some white O-rings have an intentional split for use in spouts with a grub screw; a split does not indicate it's broken.
• Your new O-ring kit may include extra rings not needed for your spout, as some kits were later updated with a smaller ring for added stability.
• Use plumber's grease or washing-up liquid to aid movement, but avoid Vaseline as it can damage the rubber.

This is a Genuine Spare Part from the original Tap Manufacturer of your Tap.

• Genuine = Proper fit, tested by the Manufacturer
• Compatible = Not made by your Tap’s brand. May not fit or last.

We’ve seen compatible parts cause leaks or damage. Choosing genuine parts protects your tap and warranty.

If your Tap is dripping from the Spout then you might need to replace the Franke Athena Kitchen Tap Valves 1212R.
