Hello,
Can anyone help me in finding this O ring for kitchen tap? It is not a circular cross section O ring but a square cross section hallow ring. Not sure what it is called. I did a lot of search but couldn't find it. Attaching Photo.
Cheers!

Update
Thanks all for the help. Folks at Franke support has been helpful, they pointed that this is Davos model.

Unfortunately they don't stock the O rings for this model so search for a flat O-ring for this model is still on.

Make and model of tap? Usually brand-specific and come as sets to replace.

Sure it's not meant to be round and just badly worn / has a flat - hence leaking?

But < square cross section o-ring > works for my search engine.

Yes, I saw that website. found similar tap but not exactly same. I think my tap is too old where they have used squarish o rings which are no longer available.

I think we have the same tap. We just measured the O-ring and bought a replacement off Ebay. Does it have to be square?

In the past I did replace it with normal O ring (circular cross section) it didn't work as water was leaking so I used PTFE tape around it which worked but it is so tight that can't rotate the tap.

Our original, which I kept, looks exactly the same as yours. We used a 24mm x 2.5mm standard O-ring and it's been perfect.
