I spent some time to find out the dpec and found the same tap video from Youtube and so got the picture before removing the leaking tap. It is a perfect fit and it come along with an alan key for removing as well, and it can be ordered as a single one (if you only need one tap). Recommended Review: Solid build, fits well, and no more water dripping - This is the third time I purchased this item over years therefore I am a repeated buyer. The cold side of the water tap start dripping which shows a signal that it is time to replace the valve cartridge. Due to previous experience, it is easy to replace and only takes me 15 minutes to complete it. The valve cartridge is solid build and the size I ordered is compatible with my water tap. Price is reasonable. ## Features - PRECISE SPEC TO AVOID WRONG-SIZE RETURNS β€” Ceramic disc tap cartridge with 28 splines, 38mm overall height, 1/2" BSP β€” built to replace worn ceramic discs on Franke Ascona kitchen mixer taps. What you get: 1 cartridge, 1 M4 grub screw, 1 fitting wrench (PTFE tape not included β€” please prepare separately if your installation requires it). - FITS FRANKE ASCONA β€” Replacement for Franke Ascona kitchen mixer taps with BSP 1/2" thread and 28-spline ceramic disc. Sold as a Pair, but Single Blue (Anti-clockwise) and Single Red (Clockwise) options are available as variants if only one side has failed. Before purchase: visually compare the spline count and 38mm height of your current cartridge β€” see the Compatibility Matrix in the A+ section. - BRASS BODY + CERAMIC DISC FOR EXTENDED OPERATIONAL LIFESPAN β€” Forged brass housing with finely lapped ceramic disc seat β€” engineered for prolonged drip-free functioning versus rubber-washer cartridges. Quarter-turn operation delivers a crisp open-close feel. - STOPS DRIPPING TAPS WITHOUT BUYING A NEW TAP β€” Replace just the worn cartridge instead of the whole mixer tap. Ideal for after-first-failure DIY repair, kitchen-tap refresh, and landlord turn-around maintenance. Quarter-turn ceramic-disc engineering keeps the open-close feel firm even after thousands of cycles. - DIY-FRIENDLY 5-MINUTE FIT β€” Loosen the M4 grub screw with the included fitting wrench, lift out the old cartridge, drop in the new one, tighten the screw and check for leaks. Recommended for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts and landlords. If unsure about compatibility, message us before fitting β€” we'll confirm against your Franke Ascona model code. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B082VZZNKS | | Best Sellers Rank | 18,054 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 8 in Tap Cartridges | | Brand | Seawhisper | | Connector Type | Threaded | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 137 Reviews | | Exterior Finish | Brass | | Exterior finish | Brass | | Inlet Connection Size | 0.5 Inches | | Inlet Connection Type | BSPT | | Inlet connection size | 0.5 Inches | | Inlet connection type | BSPT | | Manufacturer | Seawhisper | | Material | Brass | | Model Number | 3308R | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Ports | 2 | | Outlet Connection Size | 0.5 Inches | | Outlet Connection Type | BSPT | | Outlet connection type | BSPT | | Size | 0.5 inches | | Thread Size | 0.5 inches | | Thread Type | BSP | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Valve Type | Ceramic Disc Valve | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seawhisper - **Exterior finish:** Brass - **Inlet connection size:** 0.5 Inches - **Inlet connection type:** BSPT - **Material:** Brass - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Number of ports:** 2 - **Outlet connection size:** 0.5 Inches - **Outlet connection type:** BSPT - **Unit count:** 1.0 count ## Images ![Ceramic Mixer Tap Cartridge 1/4 Turn 28 Spline Franke Ascona Anti-Clockwise - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615HMke0GJL.jpg) ![Ceramic Mixer Tap Cartridge 1/4 Turn 28 Spline Franke Ascona Anti-Clockwise - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619D20tDw5L.jpg) ![Ceramic Mixer Tap Cartridge 1/4 Turn 28 Spline Franke Ascona Anti-Clockwise - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7158Tecu4NL.jpg) ![Ceramic Mixer Tap Cartridge 1/4 Turn 28 Spline Franke Ascona Anti-Clockwise - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ay5OendfL.jpg) ![Ceramic Mixer Tap Cartridge 1/4 Turn 28 Spline Franke Ascona Anti-Clockwise - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YAAfoHQuL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do I know if this cartridge fits my kitchen tap?** A: Please count the number of teeth on the spline (the top part that fits into the handle).
