Ceramic Tap Cartridges

[diyFans]

I am trying to source a new ceramic cartridge for my kitchen mixer tap. I have looked all over on line but cannot find one that matches mine. There seem to be so many different types.

I have a photo of mine here (which is a 40mm diameter):



Any help would be much appreciated.

Can't view the picture full size. You'll need to post a picture of the whole tap unless you get lucky and a member happens to be familiar with whatever brand it is.

Adjust your profile settings. Add some better pics.

Have you tried Lunns?

Is the tap branded. If yes, contact manufacturer for spares.

If it's a budget, unbranded tap, and/or Chinese made, then sometimes it's near impossible to find spares. Binning it and starting it again would be your only option.

For some reason the name Intatec is calling to me.

Bunch of a7ses though

Thanks for all the reply's.

I've checked Lunn's, but they don't have this design of cartridge on their web site.

The tap was fitted by MFI as part of their kitchen fit - alas they have gone out of existence now. The tap itself has no brand markings on it.

I have added some more pictures here, including some of the mixer tap itself.

Only MFI has not the tap suppliers.
I'll have a look i have quite alot of info on MFI taps etc.

I have discovered that this is a Franke - Pilatus Power Stream. See here for schematic and spares: http://www.central-servicesuk.co.uk/shop/section.php?xSec=63

I have water leaking from between the lever (part 1) and the fixing collar (part 2). I conclude this is down to a failed cartridge and replacing it will solve the problem. Can anyone experienced in these matters confirm either way if my conclusion is correct.

Thanks.

Thats the one.
Which i know is now discontinued.
I would say it's more likely coming from around the spindle in the cartridge.
