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.
• 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.
