Bristan Sirrus Thermostatic Shower Valve - SK971006

No, this cartridge (SK971006) is specifically designed for Bristan single control showers. Please check your shower model's compatibility.

This product is covered by a minimum 1-year Bristan manufacturer's guarantee.

Typically, you will need a screwdriver (for handles/plates), pliers or an adjustable wrench (for nuts), and potentially a specialized cartridge removal tool if the old one is seized.

Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge. If you are not comfortable with plumbing, it is recommended to hire a qualified professional.

Signs include inconsistent water temperature, difficulty adjusting temperature, a persistent drip from the shower head, or reduced water flow.

The part number is SK971006.

Serial numbers are often found on the main body of the valve, or on a label on the pipework connection, but this information is not critical for identifying the correct cartridge.

Ensure the cartridge is correctly installed and all connections are tight. Check that the water supply pressures are balanced. If issues persist, the valve body itself might be damaged.

Verify the correct cartridge model was installed and seated properly. Check for any debris trapped within the valve body that might be preventing a proper seal. The valve body may need replacing if damaged.

Ensure all retaining clips or nuts are removed. Mineral buildup can sometimes cause cartridges to stick; gently try to rotate it or use a penetrating lubricant (ensure it's safe for plumbing) before attempting removal again. Avoid excessive force.

Check that the water supply has been fully restored and isolation valves are open. Ensure the cartridge is not blocked internally and is correctly positioned.
