Description

Franke Filterflow Zurich Tap Valve

1212R or 3819R for Hot side
3448R for Cold side

The manufacturers changed HOT VALVE c.2013 from 1212R valve to SP3819 valve. Either of these valves will fit in your Tap. They might look different (the earlier 1212R has two threads and the later 3819R has one thread but they actually measure the same where it counts to fit & work in your tap i.e. 20 splines, same overall height, lower thread the same etc).

If you want to order the exact same as your own Tap, then check your installation guide or remove your own valve before ordering and compare to the pictures.

If you are waiting on a plumber to do this part, then you can remove the handle and send us a picture and we will tell you which you need (take picture of the valve with the handle off). Here is our simple DIY guide How to remove the handle on your Kitchen Tap

When replacing the Diverter Cartridge 3448R you will need to remove first the brass casing 4144R to gain access to the cartridge 3448R behind it

SP3819 (also known as 3819R)

If your hot valve looks like this in the image below, then the brass bush is still attached. You will need to separate and reuse with the new valve, or if you cannot separate, then buy a new brass bush as well. If a Bush is required, it is only on the Hot side. There is no Bush on the Cold Side.

This is a Genuine Spare Part you are buying here.

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.
