Franke Bridge Chrome 115.0049.960 Cold Compatible Kitchen Tap Cartridge - FR-1161
The Franke Bridge Chrome 115.0049.960 Cold Compatible Kitchen Tap Cartridge FR-1161 is a cold-side replacement valve cartridge for the Franke Bridge Chrome kitchen tap. It is used on the cold handle side of the two-hole bridge mixer and controls cold water flow and shut-off through the tap body.
Replacing the cold cartridge can help correct cold-side operating faults such as a stiff or loose handle, poor shut-off, reduced control of the cold supply, or water dripping from the spout when the tap is turned off. If water is leaking from the base of the spout rather than from the outlet, check the spout O-rings before ordering a cartridge.

Check that the tap is the Franke Bridge Chrome 115.0049.960 model and that the faulty cartridge is on the cold side. Compare the original cartridge with the product images before fitting, and isolate the water supply before removing the handle, valve cover and cartridge.
A small amount of silicone grease on suitable cartridge O-rings and seals can help protect the seals during installation. Do not force the cartridge into the tap body; if resistance is felt, remove it and check alignment, threads and seal position.
