This cartridge is designed for specific bath mixer taps and torpedo-style bar valves. Check your current valve specifications before installation.
Yes, we recommend applying lubrication to the rubber seals prior to installation to ensure a smooth, watertight fit.
You will generally need a screwdriver to remove the grub screw and potentially a wrench for the valve body, depending on your specific setup.
Yes, the cartridge comes pre-assembled with the handle and safety stop ring.
Always turn off your water supply completely before attempting to remove or install any shower valve components.
Ensure the cartridge is fully seated and that the temperature stop ring is calibrated correctly.
Remove the cartridge and ensure the O-rings are lubricated and seated properly without debris.
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the internal movement points and ensure the cartridge is not overtightened.
Before beginning installation, always shut off the main water supply to prevent leaks or accidents. For torpedo-style bar valves, remove the grub screw on the valve body to release the old cartridge. For concealed valves, you must first remove the handle and any decorative trim. When installing the new cartridge, apply a light coat of silicone-based plumber's grease to the rubber O-rings; this ensures a smooth insertion into the valve body and prevents the seals from pinching or tearing. After installation, turn the water on slowly to check for leaks before fully testing the temperature controls.
