Franke Bridge Valve Cartridge Set

TapSparesUK's quality replacement valves/cartridges are sold as a pair. They are fully compatible with the Franke Bridge tap with the lever handles. Fit them to stop your tap dripping from the end of its spout.

Please note, these valves are only suitable for use with Bridge models with lever handles.

PLEASE NOTE: Take care when removing your old valve - it is common for a chunky brass ring (the bush) to come out at the same time. If this happens and you cannot separate the two, you will need to also replace the brass bush. Please see the image below. (this picture is generic and may not match your valve exactly)

Bridge Lever Tap Valves

Important Information: Bridge Lever Tap Valves

Bridge lever tap valve opening directions

Bridge lever taps use ceramic valves differently from standard kitchen taps. On a standard tap, the handles usually sit vertically when OFF. On a bridge lever tap, the handles sit horizontally, pointing outwards, and both move inwards to turn the tap ON.

Because the handles are mounted on opposite sides of the tap, the valves must be fitted on opposite sides to ensure the handles operate in the correct direction.

The correct handle operation is:

Cold handle (right-hand side) turns clockwise to open.
Hot handle (left-hand side) turns anti-clockwise to open.

To achieve this, the valves must be fitted on opposite sides:

🔴 Hot valve (clockwise-opening valve) → fits the cold side (right)
🔵 Cold valve (anti-clockwise-opening valve) → fits the hot side (left)

If the valves are fitted on the matching side instead, the tap will still function, but the handles will operate in the wrong direction.
