Review: A Fantastic idea. - 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.
Review: A Good Solution - I know this brace works - I've used a few of them over the years. This time however, it wasn't compatible with the sink and base unit. It relies on attaching to the worktop, and my "oversize" sink meant no worktop was accessible (without cutting out a big chunk of the back of the base unit. It's still a good piece of kit, just not suitable for every situation. I managed to cobble together my own brace: I just hope nobody goes looking under the sink because, although it works, it looks like a dog's dinner!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work with flexi pipes?**
A: I think it is unlikely that the Franke Tap Brace would work on Flexi-Pipes. The whole point of a brace is to hold the tap firm and secure so that it does not "flop" around when you use it. Flexi-Pipes are essentially flexible. They are unlikely to provide a secure base for the brace. In addition, the brace relies on squeezing the supply pipes tight so that the brace becomes secure. This squeezing will distort the Flexi-Pipes and may even damage them.

**Q: Hi I would like the Franke Tap Brace Art. No. AH304'980 Is this the correct one?**
A: I don't know if the part No is ok. but there seems to be only one tap brace on the market. I bought it but did not fit it because 1st/ my tap is one where a large nut screws onto the tap base,and against the underside of the sink.(this is the best style, much firmer ) instead of 2nd/ a long bolt passes through the sink hole and into the base base of the tap. check the "Habitat" model. The brace has a rubber part with an 'oblong' opening for the hot and cold flex pipes and a smaller hole for the fixing bolt so it does not readily fit the other better fitting. A lot will depend on the actual circumstances below the sink if it can be fitted. Besides it's not very expensive to buy and see if it can be made to fit ,if so its very desireable as the tap is really to heavy and high without something. the best fitting style is with the nut as on the "Habitat" model which I am very happy with. Check the habitat tap and see if there is a reply from me to an earlier question. If you use the Habitat tap you will have to cut away part of the rubber bit to make it fit. best of luck.

**Q: How to stop mixer tap swivelling?**
A: My understanding is that the mixer tap has it's own fitting usually in the form of a large hexagonal nut. The swivelling has nothing to do with the Franke product. This is to stop the tap exerting too much pressure on the sink and causing it to flex because of the leverage. The Franke fitting is to prevent this by resisting the leverage.

**Q: Hi is it possible to retrofit this? I have new sink and tap installed but because sink is thin it feels really wobbly . Thanks**
A: It is. But it is very fiddly. My tapes have less wobble but still  abit. Took all the play out of the tap.
Took me ages to screw/ fit it. Not a great job.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its best to take the sink out if possile and fit ...
*by D***A on 24 October 2014*

Works well although a bit fiddly to fit. Its best to take the sink out if possile and fit the brace losely prior to replacing the sink. However, you still end up lying under the sink to complete the fitting.
