FAQs
Are these genuine Galaxy parts?
No, these are compatible replacement parts made by First4Spares and are not manufactured by Galaxy. The Galaxy part number is used for reference purposes only.
What is the diameter of the knobs?
The pack includes one larger pressure control knob with an 80mm diameter and one smaller temperature control knob with a 48mm diameter.
Do I need any special tools to install these knobs?
Generally, no special tools are required. Most replacement can be done by hand, possibly with a flathead screwdriver if there's a retaining screw on older models, though usually they pull off.
Will these fit my Galaxy shower if it's not listed in the exact model name?
These knobs are designed for the specific models listed. If your model number is not on the list, they may not be compatible. Always double-check your shower's original parts or manual if unsure.
How do I know which knob is for pressure and which is for temperature?
The pressure control knob is the larger one (80mm diameter), and the temperature control knob is the smaller one (48mm diameter). They are typically used in distinct positions on the shower control panel.
What should I do if the knob still doesn't work after installation?
If the knob is fitted correctly and the issue persists, the problem might lie within the shower's internal valve mechanism. In such cases, it's advisable to consult a qualified plumber.
Troubleshooting
Knob won't fit onto the stem.
Ensure you are using the correct knob (pressure or temperature) for the corresponding stem. Check that the stem is not damaged and that no debris is obstructing the fit. The knob may need to be pushed on with firm, even pressure.
Knob feels loose after installation.
Verify that the washer is correctly seated. Try removing and reattaching the knob, ensuring it is pushed fully onto the stem. If the stem itself is worn, it might require replacement by a professional.
Controls are stiff or difficult to turn.
The control stem inside the shower unit may require lubrication or replacement. Ensure the knob is fully seated and not misaligned. Contact a plumber if the issue persists.

Setup:
- Turn off water supply to the shower. This is a crucial safety step.
- Remove the old knob(s). Typically, this involves gently pulling the knob straight off the control stem. Some may have a small screw at the base, though this is less common for this type of knob.
- Clean the control stem if necessary.
- Attach the new knob(s). Align the new knob with the control stem and push it firmly into place. Ensure the washer is correctly positioned on the stem or within the knob for a good seal.

Care:
Clean the knobs regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. A mild soap and water solution is usually sufficient for routine cleaning.
