This question is regarding Sirrus 1850/968 Thermostatic Cartridge without Thermostat - SK1850-2

No hot water from shower

My original problem with the shower was dripping, I ordered a seal repair kit, followed the online video and changed all seals. The dripping stopped but there was no hot water control.

After double checking everything I then ordered and replaced the sealed wax thermostat, this made no difference.

I ordered and fitted a new cartridge today and used the new thermostat that I recently ordered, the water can probably get to luke warm at best.

Do you have ideas or any suggestions on what could be wrong or is there something I have not done?

Also can you check that you are actually getting hot water to the shower, the fact that you are getting hot water at the taps is not important as they have a different flow rate.

Hi George,

Many thanks for your comments, I had watched the video and I have moved the temperature control as far as it will go in an anti clockwise direction which should give us hot water. To be honest there is not much of a difference in temperature from fully in to fully out.

There is definitely hot water coming into the shower valve on the left hand side (As looking from the front), the pipe is very hot to the touch.

Any further information/advice would be greatly appreciated.
