Bristan SL15T90/B-1GA Fitting Guide

The SL15T90/B-1GA ceramic disc valve flow cartridge fits in two Bristan shower mixers: VA BARSHX C Combi and ZI SHXSMCT C Zing. This guide goes for both valves.

1. On the flow control handle, remove the Bristan Combi / Zing chrome screw cap and undo the screw.

2. Remove the whole flow control handle.

3. Grip a spanner on the nut of the faulty cartridge. Turn it anticlockwise to loosen the thread. Remove the cartridge and discard it.

4. Grease the O-ring of the replacement Bristan spare part SL15T90/B-1GA. Insert it in the shower valve and tighten the thread but do not overtighten.

5. Restore the flow control handle, screw, and screw cap.

Frequently Asked Questions: Bristan SL15T90/B-1GA Ceramic Disc Valve Cartridge

Question: Is it okay to use any lubricant on the Bristan SL15T90/B-1GA rubber seal?
Answer: No, only lubricants made for plumbing application should be used. These are silicone-based. Other lubricants may speed up the deterioration of the rubber O-rings. Please move to the last section below for the silicone grease we carry.

Question: Does the blue at the bottom of the cartridge make it for cold water?
Answer: The colour of the seal tells its open / close direction. The Bristan SL15T90/B-1GA is the cartridge that controls water flow and is located in the left side of the shower bar. It is not for temperature. The temperature cartridge that goes with this Bristan spare part are:
– Bristan TWK-2A for Combi VA BARSHX C.
– Bristan TLM90-90 for Zing ZI SHXSMCT C.

Question: We use a Bristan Combi but the water flow is gradually decreasing. Will this cartridge make the flow normal?
Answer: You can check three things to get to the root of your shower’s water flow problem:

1. Was the water pressure reduced?
2. Are the non-return valve and the thermostatic cartridge functioning properly?
3. Is the shower getting a consistent feed from the supply pipes?

If all of the above are okay, then your shower might need a replacement Bristan cartridge SL15T90/B-1GA.

Question: Do you have this with a red seal?
Answer: This Bristan spare part does not have a red bottom seal counterpart.

Question: The measurements provided are right with the cartridge I need a spare for. Can I return it if it does not fit?
