Franke Basel Kitchen Tap Valve Compatible Cartridge - Hot

Summary

Franke Basel Hot Kitchen Tap Valve Cartridge with Collar Compatible Spare FR-BA88

Franke Basel Kitchen Tap Valve Compatible Cartridge - Hot is the hot-side ceramic disc flow valve cartridge with collar for the Franke Basel kitchen tap. Di Vapor Part Number FR-BA88 is linked with the SP3561-H / 133.0194.088 hot valve cartridge with collar reference and is used to restore normal hot water flow control where the existing valve is leaking, stiff, worn or no longer shutting off correctly.

This is a flow control valve cartridge, not a thermostatic cartridge, so it controls water flow rather than water temperature. The hot and cold cartridges are handed and should not be interchanged, as the hot cartridge opens in the opposite direction to the cold cartridge.

Check Before Your Order

Check whether your tap needs the hot cartridge with collar FR-BA88 or the hot cartridge insert only Franke Basel SP3561-H Hot Tap Valve Cartridge (133.0194.088) - 1/2 Inch BSP - SP3561 Compatible Cartridge - FR-BA86. If the leak is from the spout base rather than from the spout outlet or handle area, the Franke 133.0069.183 seal kit may be the part to inspect.

Fitting Notes

Isolate the water supplies before removing the tap handle. The valve cover is removed before using a spanner on the cartridge nut, then the replacement valve is fitted back into the valve seat and the handle parts are reassembled. Apply a small amount of cartridge silicone grease to relevant seals during installation.

Troubleshooting

• Symptom: hot side will not fully shut off or the tap drips from the spout. Likely Cause: worn hot ceramic disc valve cartridge. Solution: replace the hot valve cartridge with FR-BA88 if the with-collar version is required.
• Symptom: leaking around the handle. Likely Cause: worn cartridge seals or deteriorated O-ring. Solution: inspect the cartridge and seals before ordering.
• Symptom: leak from the base of the spout. Likely Cause: worn spout seal kit. Solution: check the Franke 133.0069.183 kitchen tap seal kit.
