Reassembly of Cartridge
1. Make sure the valve body is kept upright, with the splined bore at the top during reassembly.
2. Insert the spring
3. Insert the element support disc; making sure the step is facing downwards and locates in the
inner diameter of the spring
IMPORTANT: Do not get any grease on the element! If you do, make
sure it is cleaned off thoroughly before replacing into the valve body! Any
grease on the element reduces performance!
4. Carefully replace down the centre of the valve body, threading the
element body through the hole in the centre of the support disc
5. Press the top of the element a few times to make sure the shuttle and element spring are running
free and everything is aligned.
6. Pick up head assembly and turn upside down. Look at the inner section twist the spindle and you
will see the centre move up and down. Rotate the spindle until the inner raised ring is approximately
the same height at the head outer face.
7. Screw head into valve body making sure it is on centre with the element piston. Turn the head
until it meets the stop, and then drive it down.
8. Once driven down, turn the valve on its side and look in the top two slots and you should see the
shuttle with a gap.
IMPORTANT: Twist the spindle until there are two gaps, one above and one below the shuttle and they
are approximately equal in height.
9. Re-insert the valve into the body and screw down using the flow control handle until the valve is
seated.
10. Replace the brass capnut and screw down to the stop
11. Ensure the washer is attached to the underneath of the cartridge body and lined up in the correct
orientation (a small dab of grease may help to keep washer aligned when fitted to the cartridge)
Reassembly of Cartridge into Body
1. Make sure the washer is attached to the base of the cartridge correctly and locate into bore of
tap ensuring that the location pin is positioned in the matting hole at the seat of the bore.
2. Drive down the chrome plated head until you hit the metal to metal stop making sure cartridge
is held concentric with the body when doing so.
3. With the large flow control lever, open then close the valve to its off position (rotate clockwise
until it hits its limit).
4. Locate lever on the valve making sure the lever is lined up with diverter/spout
