Franke Tap Cartridges & Replacement Valves
Franke kitchen taps are known for their quality and modern design, but like all taps the internal cartridge valve can wear out over time. The Franke tap cartridge controls the flow of water and the mixing of hot and cold water inside the tap.
If your tap begins dripping, becomes stiff to operate or struggles to maintain the correct temperature, replacing the cartridge is usually the most effective solution. A replacement Franke ceramic tap cartridge can restore smooth operation without needing to replace the entire tap.
Common Signs Your Franke Tap Cartridge Needs Replacing
- Franke tap dripping even when turned off

- Reduced or inconsistent water flow
Why Replace a Franke Tap Cartridge?
Replacing a worn cartridge is often far cheaper than replacing the entire tap. Most Franke mixer taps use ceramic valve cartridges that can be replaced using basic tools.
When selecting a replacement cartridge, it is important to match the spline count, size and design with your existing valve to ensure compatibility.
