Franke Mythos Tap MTX/MTG/MTV O Ring Kit SP2268

This Franke O Ring Kit contains

• two white plastic rings
• two black rubber rings
•  a grub screw.
• requires a [2.5mm allen key] to remove grub screw

This O Ring Kit was previously the 3617R and then the manufacturer added in another smaller white PTFE ring at the end of the spout for stability.

You should just replace like for like, and in any case, we recommend not replacing white PTFE rings unless damaged or broken.

The Spout code 2553R / SP2553 remains unchanged irrespective of whether your own spout has 3 rings (3617R/SP3617) or the 4 rings (2268R / SP2268)

Kitchen Spout 2553R w. 3617R O Ring Kit

O Rings
If your Tap is leaking at the joint of the body of the tap and the spout then you might need to replace your O-rings. See our Guide here.

• We always recommend that you should check your own Spout before ordering a new set of O Rings.
• This is important because if your spout has a pinhole (see example below), replacing the O-ring kit won't resolve the issue.
• If you have a pinhole you will need to replace the entire Spout'
• Here is our Guide : How to remove Kitchen Tap Spout so that you can check for pinholes.
• If you think that you have a pinhole, and do not know what Spout you need, then contact us with details of your tap, such as a picture and any other information (e.g., brand markings), so we can send you a link to the correct spout.
• Here is the example of a pinhole in a Spout.

Tip 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, so a split does not indicate it is 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.
