Franke Zurich Replacement (1212R, 3819R, SP3819) Valves Cartridge Spares - Pair

Fantastic item this sink taps valve. My dripping tap had become a major irritant to me over the weeks that it continued to worsen and I was sure that I could hear it dripping all through the night and day. So eventually I decided to attempt to fix it having convinced myself that it was going to be a major feat of engineering and was going to cause me some considerable angst.However, the opposite happened thanks to this valve and the guidance on YouTube on how to fix it. I ordered the new valve from Amazon and hey presto! The job was done and I have perfect peace of mind and a sense of great achievement, all due to the ease of acquiring the valve. Try it yourself and you’ll be amazed.

Wasn't sure if my taps were pre 2013 or not. As it stated these cartridges fit both so ordered some.On changing the cold side the brass bush came out with the cartridge but gripping it in a vice it soon came loose and screwed back in easily.Both fit really well with no gaps between tap body and lever.Great price, would thoroughly recommend and best of all ------ No Drips !!!

The cartridges seem well made but no screws are supplied to secure the handles and the old ones are too small. Managed to find some that fitted from an odd box of screws but would recommemd that the cartridges are supplied with the screws

My franke zurich tap has been dripping from both the hot and cold for a while now. Googling around I found that is it's leaking from the spout it's cartridges I need. My concern was, which cartridge was compatible? Other online retailers specified a franke model change around 2013 and said you need one cartridge for pre 2013 and one for after. Other guides said the only way to be sure was count the splines on the spindle, etc. I was reassured by the write up in this product description where they said that this cartridge fitted all franke zurich taps. I thought I'd take a chance and buy it and it fitted great. My tap is the one with the screw down collar at base of the spout. Perfect drop in replacements and tap is like new.

My Franke Zurich mixer tap had an annoying drip. Only 5 years old! So I ordered these cartridges and they are a perfect fit. I changed both in 15 minutes and they operate exactly as the original ones. Also the old screws that secure the cap to the splines are a perfect fit (just as well because they don’t supply new ones with the cartridges).Can definitely recommend these for Franke Zurich taps.

Arrived when promised, my plumber installed them in a few minutes. No more drips.And all this at a third of a cost of the genuine Franke product.Will they last as long? Let’s see but so far so good.Well done.

I have only replaced the hot tap side and this is easy enough to do if you know where your stopcock is and have a suitable spanner.The replacement supplied does fit but has some issues:The splines fit the tap lever fine but do not align as accurately as the original resulting in the lever coming to a stop either slightly too far forward or too far back when off (rather than perfectly vertical).The gap between the lever and main tap body is also very slight wider.In operation it is perhaps a little stiffer then the original.All these things are “ok” at the price point. Acceptability will depend on where you are on the OCD spectrum.Will see how long it lasts…
