Is this the right cartridge
Questions are, haven't got a clue what model it is. Chrome, round thermostatic controlled, with a water on off dial behind a temp dial at the front. I've taken both dials off to uncover the brass splined cartridge underneath. From the web it looks like a CART5 as it has the silver retaining plate at the front. Is the CART5 the only one with this plate?
Do you think the whole cartridge is the problem here, or could i just take the old one out and clean it (high pressure air etc?) Is there a service kit for this cartridge, seals etc - is it worth attempting that first?
Cheers
Yes the cart 5 is the only one with the stainless slotted retaining ring.
Cleaning this cartridge really doesn’t help because it is a sealed unit.
Some times the seals are damaged and therefore replacing them can solve the problem, however if you want to be sure of a first time fix then I would replace the complete cartridge because it comes complete with seals.
