Perfect part for the job by friendly people

Reviewed 6 years ago by Andre Roodt
I bought this for a Triton Alterna Thermostatic Bar Mixer. It is a perfect fit and I think easier to install than the original I took out, would have been. The old one I removed did not have a place to grab hold of it with a tool, without risking damage to the serrated part where the outside (face) fitting that adjust the temperature, grab hold (fit). This new part has a small flat surface either side, on the serrated bit (look closely), where a small/medium shifting fits perfectly. This is a very hard & strong plastic but to play it safe, the friendly guy at The Shower Doctor suggested using a rag to protect the serrated part when fitting. A very good suggestion. However when I realised my small shifting fits perfectly onto the flat bits without any overlap, I used it without a rag but took my time “feeling” the new part into place. Before I fitted the new part I wiped the hole it is going into out to make sure it is clean and I put a very little bit of silicone over the thread (only) of the new part to help it go in. It was easy to do and went in without any glitches. I suggest taking note how deep the original is in BEFORE removing it so you have an idea how deep to screw this one in. I’ve been buying all my shower replacement parts from The Shower Doctor for many years, a friend recommended them. Their service is always friendly and quick and I’m happy with their price. I’ve never had a problem with these guys and as a return customer I recommend them.
