Tap ceramic disc cartridges

Hi,

Are these different for hot and cold only because of the direction that they turn or is there some other difference?

I replaced some recently, and the only difference was the turning direction, for mine.

i used a cold disc in my hot water tap and it has lasted longer than 3 hot discs and its still ok , i was phoning franke up every 6 months till i did this 3 years ago.

Thanks...my hot tap is on the right and when I had a look at the cartridge it was marked 'cold'. I'm going to change it as it was dripping but just wondered if there was any physical difference in the cartridges (and if it was this that has led it to start dripping)...the tap is less than a year old :rolleyes:

Your lucky you can get replacement cartridges some taps u cant and have to buy a new tap

As far as I'm aware it's just the direction that's different.
Cold is usually on the right, probably that's the only reason it's marked. If you put a hot on, obviously it will turn the opposite way.
