Instructions with seal kit?

Hi, Are there any instructions to how to replace the seals, which seals to replace, how to remove the cartridge, etc.

Hi

Unfortunately there no instructions that come with the seals, these seals are body seals and will not solve any problems with temperature or dripping from the shower head, for that you will need a new cartridge.

 

See below for how to remove tyhe cartridge.

 

If you have problems with an Excel then it's best just to replace the cartridge, however it is probably worth stripping the cartridge out and checking that the inlet filters are clean, before buying a new cartridge.

 

To replace the cartridge Pre 2003 units

 

Turn off hot and cold water supply

 

Pull front temperature knob off The rest of the knob assy. just unclips

 

Remove 4 screws that hold cartridge into body

 

Pull old cartridge forward shouldn't be too tight

 

Set new cartridge for High/Low pressure (instructions with cartridge)

 

Slip new cartridge into place remember to check that the new seals are all in place (and don't drop out as you push back)

 

Tighten screws be careful not to over tighten

 

Refit knobs.

 

Turn on water and test. (Occasionally you will have to reset the cartridge temperature, instructions with cartridge)

 

Easy peasy!!!!

Cartridge   Mira 903.33  This cartridge supersedes the previous high and low pressure versions
