Franke Cresta Tap Parts

As there are a lot of O Rings in this Tap it might be useful to take a picture of your spout before you remove the existing ones so that you can replicate.

DIY Guide

You will need a 3mm size allen key to remove the grub screw in your spout.

As per diagram above (parts listed as ‘3’), the order of the rings are from top down :

1. Large white
2. First black of same size.
3. 2nd black ring of same size
4. Castellated white (turrets facing downwards)
5. Larger black

Use plumbers grease / silicone grease . Do not use vaseline.

O Rings
If your Tap is leaking at the joint of the body of the tap and the spout then you might need to replace your O-rings. See our Guide here.

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.
