This question is regarding NewTeam Victoriana Thermostatic Valve - Shower Spares

Victorian going hot / cold

My shower goes hot and cold quite frequently. I suspect it needs a new thermostatic cartridge. I replaced the cartridge about 7 years ago but can't find the instructions any more! I have tried to dismantle the assembly to get the cartridge out, but just can't get into it and clearly i don't want to force anything. Help please

Regarding the temperature fluctuation or cool running it could be a faulty cartridge however to check this, see 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 is not with the shower but more likely with the boiler as the shower can only deliver what the boiler sends to it.        #

 

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

 

If you feel it is the cartridge and you replaced about 7 years ago then you may get away with fitting a service kit.
