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.
• The reason for doing this is because if you have a pinhole in your spout (see example below of a pinhole) then replacing the O Ring Kit will not fix this.
• 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 us with the details of your Tap e.g a picture, together with any other information that you know e.g the Brand might be marked on the Tap, so that we can send you a link to the correct Spout that you require.
• Here is the example of a pinhole in a Spout.

Tip when changing the O Ring Kit :

• Usually only the black O Rings need to be replaced on your Spout unless one of the white O rings is broken.
• Some White O Rings have an intentional split in them as they might be used in some spouts that require a grub screw so an intentional split in the ring does not mean it is broken.
• Your new O Ring Kit might have surplus O Rings that may not be required for your particular Spout as some O Ring Kits had an additional smaller ring added in later years for stability.
• You can add Plumbers Grease to aid the movement or washing up liquid. Do not use anything like vaseline that will cause rubber to perish.
