Franke Eiger Tap Cartridge

Please note that due to the fact that we do not know the age of your Eiger Tap, we will ship the earlier Franke Eiger Tap Cartridge  (Franke Eiger Tap Valve) with white seal underneath as that covers all Eiger taps, old and more recent. More recent Taps have a red / blue seal underneath but are not as effective as a replacement in the older Taps.

• SP1427R/SP3561 Hot – 133.0194.088
• SP1427R/SP3561 Cold – 133.0194.089
• SP3868 Brass Bush – 133.0312.538

Below is example of Valve same as Eiger in a different Tap, but it shows the 28 splines.  This valve has bush around it, 3868R (like the Eiger Tap) so when you remove your own handle, if you have the Franke Eiger Tap, then your valve / bush would look like this below.  There are other ‘lookalike’ taps that take different valves, so unless you are sure that you have a Franke Tap, it is worthwhile removing the handle and checking. The Franke Eiger Handle takes a 2mm allen key to loosen the grub screw (but place towel underneath to catch grub screw because they are so small).

3561R Valve in Tap with Handle Removed. Wide Part is Bush surrounding Valve that may or may not come out stuck to the valve.

Below is one example of a Tap similar to Eiger. Note the 20 spline valve

Other checks to see if you have Eiger or a lookalike Tap ?  : Your own handle should have C or H etched in the top of the lever (that is not to say that other brands don’t have similar, but if your handle does not have this etching, then it is Not the Eiger).  Check your own handle measurements: – does it conform to the Franke Eiger handle measurements ?  Overall height – 89mm.  Lever  height only – 63mm

Measurements of this 28/8 Valve with thread:

Nut Height: 8, Splines: 28, Overall height: 53mm, Diameter at thread: 21mm.  

Useful Tip

It can be a common enough problem that when you remove your  Valve it looks different than the valve in the picture. It is most likely because the brass bush is still attached. See below images showing the Bush as a separate part and also stuck to the valve .

If the Valve is stuck inside the Brass Bush then you will have to separate them OR buy a Brass Bush

After Sales Service

Our Sales Team is available for excellent after sales service. We have been supplying Kitchen Taps for over 30 years and accordingly can troubleshoot any issue with a Kitchen Tap. The most effective way to maintain your Kitchen Tap is to fix any issue as it arises. If you ignore a drip it can effect the inner workings of your Tap. It might result in the drip being beyond repair. Often Plumbers advise to replace the Tap. They do this because customers purchase the wrong part or the exact part is hard to source. But not if you contact us. If you contact us before buying, we will advise you on the correct part for your Tap. That way, if you are calling in a Plumber to fix your Tap, all the correct parts will be there for the Plumber to fix your Tap.

If you wish to fix the Tap yourself we provide DIY Guides on all our Franke Tap Spares to assist you.
