Franke Olympus G Tap O Ring Kit 1425R (SP1425)

Franke Olympus G Close up handle detail – red and blue indicator band on handles

• We include two grub screws because both of these were used in the production of this tap.  The two sizes included are a 2mm and a 2.5mm spout grub screw.
• You can buy a pack of both sizes here here , a 2mm here and a 2.5mm here.  The Olympus Handle takes a 2mm grub screw.
• Please follow our DIY Guide here when replacing the O Rings.
  • Specifically, ONLY replace the rubber rings. There should be no need to replace the large white split ptfe ring unless it is broken.
  • Do use plumbers grease or washing up liquid to lubricate.
• The manufacturers added the smaller white ring in later years so if you have an older model you will not have this smaller ring. Just ignore it.
• The Franke Specialist Range Olympus Spring Tap requires a different O Ring Kit.  This can be found 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.

This video link below shows the older spout that we stock and the current spout and also the 1425R O Ring Kit. If your own spout does not look like either of these two spouts here, then we do not have the spout you need or the O Ring Kit you need.

If you have an older Tap :
The current Spout 3926R (SP3926) is the improved version of the 3218R. It contains the same O Ring Kit but was modified to include an additional PTFE (Teflon) ring for increased stability. So the upgraded Spout is a little longer but fits the exact same as the older shorter Spout. The base in the older Tap models can perfectly accomodate this longer Spout. This improved design change is coming from your Tap manufacturer.

FAQ – Kitchen Tap Spout:

• I can’t locate the grub screw? Unless your spout is held in by a locking nut or is extremely old (where spouts were pushed into the tap) it should be there. Feel around the back of your tap with a finger as its a very small hole. Its usually directly at the back of the base of your tap.
• Do you include silicone grease ? No we don’t because it needs to be applied freshly when installed. You can source this from any Builders Merchant.
• Do I need to call in a plumber to do this ? Most people find this a very straightforward DIY job. Here is our guide to assist you.

This is a Spout Part and not the complete Tap. We discount all of our Brand New Genuine Spouts in case our checkers / shippers miss a tiny blemish. Our Spouts are Sourced directly from the Manufacturer of your Tap. Below is an example of a tiny mark on a Spout.
