Franke Olympus Tap O Ring Kit 1425R (SP1425)

FAQ:

• What size is the grub screw ? We include a 2mm grub screw for some earlier models.   The two sizes included are a 2mm and a 2.5mm spout grub screw.  It is still advisable to retain your own one as this Tap has changed several times over the years in production. You can buy here an allen key pack of both sizes, a 2mm allen key and a 2.5mm allen.  The Olympus Handle takes a 2mm grub screw.
• How do I fit this kit?  Please follow our DIY Guide here when replacing the O Ring Kit.
• Why does my tap spout not have two white rings on it?  The manufacturers added the smaller white ring in later years so if you have an older model you might not have this smaller ring. That is not an issue.
• Does this kit suit the Franke Specialist Range Olympus Spring Tap?  No that tap requires a different kit, you can buy it here –  Olympus Spring O Ring Kit.

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.
