Please read our Blog My Franke Planar Tap is dripping as there are different valves used in the manufacturing history of this Tap and it includes a Tip to access the Valve. We would also recommend that you read all the information below too before ordering.

If your Tap is dripping from the Spout then you might need to change your Valves. Here is our Guide 7 Easy Steps to replace Kitchen Tap Valve.

If your Tap is dripping where the Spout meets the Base you might need to replace your  O Ring Kit 3617R.

 

 

 

Description

Franke Planar Tap Valve

All our valves are genuine, sourced from your Tap manufacturer.

The Franke Planar has been modified over the years in production.
We would strongly recommend that prior to ordering the Valve, you remove your own Valve and compare it to the pictures below. This will tell you which Valve you have.

There are 3 valve versions and the earlier valve has 20 splines (for which we would supply our 3549R valve) and the later models (post 02/2008) have  28 splines (valve 2307R (4276R) and latest one, 3547R).

The manufacturer of the Planar Tap recommends that the two threaded 2307R valve (aka 1427r/2552r) be used as the replacement valve even if your own valve has the 28 spline valves with one thread (3547r). In addition to this, the other issue to check for is the Bush, as this comes out in some cases stuck to your valve and if that is the case, you might also need to replace this too.

We have included lots of pictures below to assist you in identifying which valve you have (20 splines or 28 splines) and what a valve inside a bush looks like. Please check all of these pictures before you order. At a minimum, if you don’t have your own installation guide (and we mean the one that came with YOUR tap, not one downloaded from the internet) then remove your own handle and check to see the number of splines, and then order accordingly. We would also recommend ordering a bush as you can return if not needed.

With Valve changeovers in production we cannot know what valve is in your tap. The changeover happened c.2007 BUT we cannot be responsible for the wrong valve being ordered if you do not check what valve you actually have in advance.

You have the earliest 20 spline valve :
If your valve looks like this below, order the 3549R

Please also see pictures below of the Old Valve with the Handle Insert (round metal piece) still in place i.e covering the splines.  If you undo the screw at the top of the valve this will enable you to remove the Handle Insert to re-use.  Below is example of this Valve with the handle insert, and also another example of same old Valve with handle insert and encased in the bush 3886R.

A NEW Brass Bush might be required if you are replacing your Tap Valve and the Brass Bush Part has come away with your old valve i.e. your old valve is stuck inside (stuck to) the Brass Bush. If you cannot separate the Brass Bush from your old valve then you will need a new one.
