Franke Mythos MTV MTX MTV Tap Valve

Earlier Installation guides list 2552R Valve. Then in subsequent ones it is referred to as 1427R (SP1427) and even later ones again 3561R (SP3561)- This are all the same valves. We supply the original version of this with the white seal underneath as it is largest seal available for your Tap and the older the Tap is, the more important it is to fit the largest seal possible as it mitigates against any possible Tap modifications made over the years to your Tap that a later Valve might not address in an Earlier Tap Model. This valve will come with a white seal underneath and is known as the 4276R. It is sourced from your Tap manufacturer and is recommended by them to use in older Taps. If your own Tap installation guide specifies a later valve, 3547R (SP3547) then you can order that. Where you do not know the age of your Tap, then you could order the 4276R. We cannot take responsibility for a dripping Tap after you fit a new Valve, if it transpires that you had the the earlier valve 2552R / 1427R and ordered the later one 3547R. We have provided here measurements and images of both valves for reference if you don't have your installation guide.  Please also see below regarding the Brass Bush Part as it might be relevant also . Here is our Guide How to remove the Handle on your Kitchen Tap. if you wish to remove your handle and email us some pictures.

Useful Tip

If your valve seems wider in diameter than the replacement valve you order, it is possible that the Brass Bush (Ring) that surrounds the valve inside your Tap has also come away with your Valve.

Should you also require a Brass Bush (one per valve), the same part number SP3886 is used on both Hot and Cold Valve.

Shipping Information:

We ship from Ireland. DPD have notified us that they are experiencing shipping delays in GB due to Brexit (Customs). They currently advise us that these delays are temporary. However, as per the Large Popup notice on our website that is there until you Dismiss it, you should allow a minimum of 1-2 weeks delays for your order to be cleared by customs.

(There will be no extra or hidden charges with your order).

We intend that Brexit will have no financial impact on our customers.
