Franke Olympus Tap O Ring Kit 1425R (SP1425)

FAQ:

• What size is the grub screw ? We include a 2mm grub screw for some earlier models.   The two sizes included are a 2mm and a 2.5mm spout grub screw.  It is still advisable to retain your own one as this Tap has changed several times over the years in production. 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 Ring Kit.
• The manufacturers added the smaller white ring in later years so if you have an older model you might not have this smaller ring. That is not an issue.
• 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.
