This question is regarding Triton HP Mixer Valve Cartridge (including seals) - 83304970

LP to HP?

I have an externally mounted Triton LP shower, I now have a whole house pump on my gravity fed system so need to change the shower to HP. It looks like it will (I have replaced the LP cartridge before), but does an HP cartridge fit an LP body? Also what is the retro fit kit you mention in one reply? Will I need that as well?

If you have a low pressure unit and have had a combiboiler fitted, you will need a retro kit to convert your shower, these are easyto fit however you will need to order the correct one, there is one for surfacemounted showers and one for recessed showers.

These instructions may help.

Turn the water off and remove the white/chrome covers, you shouldnow see the knobs and the grey part of the cartridge.

You will see 4 screws that are recessed into the cartridge; theseare the cartridge retaining screws.

Remove the screws and pull the cartridge straight out ( in a fewcases this can be a bu**er to come out)

All you now need to do is push the new cartridge home in to theexisting brass body.

(Unless…. You have a very old brass housing, if you have the oldstyle housing there are no holes for the locating pins on the cartridge so justsnap the pins off the cartridge.)

When you push the new cartridge home make sure the seals are welllubricated, due to the shape of the seals on the low pressure cartridgesthey have a tendency to roll back and not sit in properly as you push inthe last few millimeters, it can be tricky to get this right, it is alsodifficult to see on the recessed models so take your time.

Once the cartridge is in place refit the cartridgeretaining screws and turn on the water and test before you refit the coversetc.
