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.
• 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.

This is a Genuine Spare Part from the original Tap Manufacturer of your Tap.

• Genuine = Proper fit, tested by the Manufacturer
• Compatible = Not made by your Tap’s brand. May not fit or last.

We’ve seen compatible parts cause leaks or damage. Choosing genuine parts protects your tap and warranty.

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.
