Franke 133.0026.896 Optional Extra Reinforcing Kitchen Tap Brace

Worth the money. Very versatile. Change the screws for going into the underside of the work top. You’ll thank me later. I’ve used three now on 3 sink installs. I I

This is a well made brace but unfortunately it won't fit a Franke mixer/filter tap because of the extra hose connection to the filter unit. However, I have installed the tap to a Franke stainless sink which is probably 20 years old and made of a heavier gauge steel than modern units and so the tap is sufficiently rigid to not need a brace.

Secured our kitchen tap on the stainless sink. Stopped the flexing. Very good.

Does not fit the base of my tap, it has a rubber ring inside the clamp, this is designed for a tap with a bolt and nut securing fitting, the tap I bought has a large brass nut screwing onto a brass threaded insert on the base of the tap, the rubber "ring/Spacer" is moulded to accomodate the flex pipes and the securing bolt, so will not fit my tap , all I would have needed was a simple ring of rubber to encircle the threaded insert. The unit has great potential for the taps it does fit, also providing there is dimension compatability to fix to the rear, I think I can make it fit above the sink if I really try as it seems to be provided with a sticky block as well as screws. Too busy to have tried so far. I guess it is more designed for Franke fittings than a universal item. Still a good idea to firm up the assembly.

The Franke Secure Kitchen Tap Brace is fantastic, We purchased it as added stability when fitting our new tap which was slightly heavier than the old one. It does exactly as the image shows, and attached to the underside of the work surface with an adhesive pad and screws. It is easy to fit, strong once in place, and I am sure that it will give the added support the tap system now for a very long time. It arrived quickly and was well packaged. Overall would definitely recommend to anyone considering fitting a new tap or sink unit and prefer a bit of added stability.

Works but extremely fiddly to fit. Had to clear everything for under the sink & remove the shelf to gain access to well hidden tap lowers. I didn't have undo tap or water pipes !

This is a brilliant bit of kit. On the pack in German it is advised to be used for all Franke heavy taps, in the translation it only advised the use on stainless steel sinks. The latest Franke taps are so top heavy I think it is best to be safe thatn sorry and fit this useful accessory to keep the tap fitted firmly. Easy to fit, not cheap but worth it, I think it should come as standard with heavy taps!

so two stars. I have just bought a Franke tap and one of their better stainless sinks. The former is too stiff and the latter is too flimsy. This bracket does not work if you have flexible fittings. However, for me the plastic retainer (the red bit) is the wrong way around and should have the open end ( the clamping end) towards the tap bolt. If you look at the photograph and this is identical to what I was confronted with, the final clamp squeezes on the solid end of the "the red bit" whereas the other end towards the worktop is open and clampable. Honestly, a load of rubbish.

Bevor diese Verstärkungsplatte installiert war, hat mein FRANKE 3-Wege-Armatur gewackelt wie ein Kuhschwanz. Mit der Verstärkungsplatte wackelt nichts mehr. Man kann mit der Armatur auch etwas ruppiger umgehen ohne gleich Angst um das Spülbecken zu haben. Die Installation war einfach und vor allem ohne Demontage der Armatur möglich. Bin somit Top zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis. Die einzige Frage die sich mir stellt ist warum diese Platte nicht bei den FRANKE Armaturen mit geliefert wird?

This product is wonderful for supporting a commercial kitchen faucet on a metal sink. I believe this product ships from England and I got it quick enough. Easy to install and very strong product. I just installed it on my Fapully commercial sink, I was skeptical because the brace looks cheap but its not...works great, if you have a unstable kitchen faucet then try this product.

facile da montare . arrivato in anticipo.

Sehr gutes Teil. Unser Wasserhahn wackelte sehr auf dem dünnwandigen Edelstahlbecken. Mit diesem Teil sitzt die Armatur Bombenfest. War aus Platzgründen nur ein wenig schwierig anzubringen.
