Olympus Valve Bush

• It can be a common enough problem that when you remove your Kitchen Tap Valve it looks different than the valve in the picture (or the Valve that you purchased from us). It is most likely because the brass bush is still attached.  We have a detailed guide Franke Olympus Valve Bush .  If you have the Olympus G model then it is advised to remove your own valve to see
  1. 1. Do you actually need a new bush . If your own valve comes out with no bush attached to it, then you don’t need it, unless it is obviously damaged.
  2. 2. If you do need the bush, then check the Franke Olympus Valve Bush to see which one you require OR email the pictures to us and we can tell you.
