yes

no real advantage, just your prefferance really. but i find with the two valve it's harder to acidentaly turn it on, as you have two stops.

The undersink flow restrictor, attached at the end of the flexible "hose", was clogged. Verified this problem with Franke USA. In support of their product they are sending out a replacement flow restrictor for FREE!

Try claiming on their 5 year warranty. It is probably a worn o-ring or a worn ceramic cartridge in there. If you phone them, they will tell you the part that has probably failed. This link shows parts for the HT-200, but shows the cartridges and o-rings. https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/Franke-Little-Butler-Parts-s/11466.htm

crud in the supply lines or valves.

Check the washers and o rings that are a part of the faucet assembly. If possible tighten fittings.

You can check out the installation manual here that has a parts breakdown: https://s1.img-b.com/build.com/mediabase/specifications/franke/512399/ffps200_installsheet.pdf Be sure to shut off the water below the sink prior to doing any disassembly. Best of luck

There is an installation manual available for it with a parts breakdown here: https://s1.img-b.com/build.com/mediabase/specifications/franke/512399/ffps200_installsheet.pdf other than that there is not much in the way of literature for it. Best of luck with all your endeavors!

Although I am unfamiliar with the name "Franke", I am more than familiar with this problem. I have had it too many times to count. I have discovered it takes an assortment of black rubber/plastic washers to fix this. I even have them in my tool box for this very problem. Not enough washers will cause a leak, too many and the hose will not ***** on. I have had to experiment with different washers to get the fix. God bless your efforts.

I would try E-bay. Might also look for a rebuild kit. A last resort: Take it apart clean all the parts and then reassemble. Good luck.

I have the same problem. By taking off both aerators, I can see that the rubber ring inside the spray head partially disintegrated. Little pieces of rubber even fell out. I can remove the spray head (it twists off; I used a pliers and rubber gloves) but I can't take it apart and even if I did, I don't know if I could replace the rubber ring.

Hi,
The dirt gets caught in the faucet before the spout of the valve...
The only way to clear the dirt out is to take off the supply tubes and then using an air compressor, blow air backwards through the faucet the blow the dirt back out the supply tubes...

Hi,
IF you can get the top off of the center part and then get the spout pulled off without breaking it you may be able to get a new oring in there and some plumbers grease on it you MAY be able to save the faucet....
However till you go through all of that you will probably be better off to just replace the whole faucet


Your faucet has built up with mineral to the point where it will not turn....so you chances of getting it off are very slim....

Hello feleppa... Most faucets can be repaired. That said, if you can not figure out how to disassemble it you could consider removing the entire faucet and taking it to the hardware store. Most hardware stores are expert at repairing faucets, if the parts are still available.

That said, this faucet is 26 years old so getting parts may be a challenge. My advice to customers in this situation is to put the repair money toward a replacement, unless the faucet has sentimental value.

Thanks for choosing Fixya!

Sounds like it needs a new washer/valve

Have you remove the aerator off the end of the faucet and cleaned it. More than likely it is partially clogged with deposits. It may also have a water saver washer inside the aerator. It will be a white or black washer with a single hole in it. Try removing that to see if it helps the pressure.

E-mail the manufacturer from this page.

Usually there is a retaining nut at the base of the spout that unscrews. It looks like apart of the faucet. Once you unscrew the nut, you can pull out the spout exposing two washers that can be replaced. If I had a picture of the faucet, I woul know exactly what to tell you. I'm just using an explanation that are for most faucets. Good luck!
