TEMPERATURE (similar to the question made earlier by Gordon





Is it possible to fit that thermostat the wrong way round?

I've replaced the cartridge and re-fitted the thermostat and piston but now only have miniscule adjustment between hot and cold.



We have a combi boiler



What have I done wrong? How do I get a reasonable range of temperature control again? (I followed the video as far as I know)

I know it may be a bit obvious however I presume that the shower is fitted Hot to the left cold to the right?

Yes it is possible to fit the stat the wrong way round but I guess you would get no temperature adjustment at all

If you can get hold of the hot supply pipe before it enters the shower or perhaps as it leaves the boiler.

If when holding this pipe the temperature fluctuates or goes cool, then the problem may be with the boiler.

Disregard the temperature at the taps as they have a different flow rate.
