Description

Genuine Franke Danube Tap Valve

also previously known as Franke Professional Danube Tap Valve

The manufacturers changed the 20 Spline version from a two threaded Valve (SP1212) to a one threaded version of same valve with 20 splines, SP3819. We would strongly recommend that if you do not know whether you have the SP1212 Valve OR the SP819R valve in your Tap, order the SP1212 Valve.

Reason being that if you originally had the SP1212 valve and order the later valve SP3819 your Tap might still drip as your Tap is designed for the earlier valve with a slightly thicker seal. The SP1212 Valve works perfectly even if it turns out that you have the later SP3819 Valve.

1212R Valve Blueprint

If your Valve looks wider than the pictures, then the most likely explanation is that the Brass Bush has come away with the valve, in which case you will need to order a brass bush part if you cannot separate

Difference between Genuine and Compatible ?

To maintain your warranty and the longevity of your Tap you should replace any parts with only Genuine Spare Parts. "Genuine" means that it is coming from the manufacturer of your own Tap. You might see the word 'Compatible' used on other websites. You might even see same Part Code BUT "Compatible" means that it does NOT come from your own Tap manufacturer. Genuine Tap Parts means that the Parts have been tried and tested in your Tap model. It also guarantees that it will fit your own Tap correctly (provided that you have selected the correct replacement Part). We have had customers who fitted compatible parts in their taps and damaged other connecting parts in the process. It can work out more costly in the end to use Compatible parts.
