Valve Information:
Height: 65mm / Diameter at thread: 21mm / Splines: 24 / Nut Height: 5mm
- This is the current 3656R (SP3656). The older 3565R Valve is discontinued.
- The older valve has the same spline count—24 splines—but they are slightly wider than those on the new 3565R valve. Although the 3565R also features 24 splines, the narrower design makes it incompatible with the older Franke Bridge Tap handle.
- We do not stock the older Franke Bridge Tap Handle. Only the current modified version of the handle which you can find here.
- You can check your own Valve prior to ordering to see whether or not you need to order a New Handle as well.
- One obvious difference is that the Nut on the New Valve is stepped.

Valve & Handle Set:
If you order a handle and don’t need it, you can return it. Our valve and handle set is cheaper than buying separately, but note: if you’re replacing just one side, the new handle does not have the Franke logo, and the logo from your old handle can’t be transferred.

3715R Indicator. Our handle only has the word Hot or Cold on it (no logo)
A kitchen tap with a compression valve is recommended to use if you have very low water pressure on the hot water side of your kitchen tap.
