Frequently Asked Questions: Thermostatic Cartridge for Shires U960016AA, U0670AA and U0671AA
Q: My tap is leaking. Do I have to replace the cartridge?
A: The cartridge may have deteriorated if the leak is coming from the cartridge itself. Replacing the Shires U960016AA shower cartridge is the best solution.
Q: How do I remove the cartridge stuck in the shower?
A: A cartridge can be stuck in the valve because of hardened sediment. You can use WD40 to soften the scale or use a valve puller tool to remove the cartridge. You can also try tapping the sides of the valve where the cartridge is stuck and see if this loosens the sediment.
How a Valve Produces a Tepid Shower Water Temperature
In 1934, a man by the name of Sergius Vernet, who became the founder of the innovative flow control company, Verney; devised the wax thermostatic element. The invention, which was first applied as a temperature regulator in automobiles, made its way into the plumbing industry by the 1970s. Now, the benefits of the invention can be perceived throughout different shower and tap systems.
Each Shires U960016AA, U0670AA and U0671AA thermostatic cartridge holds a flat diaphragm thermostat element. The thermo-element capsules contain copper and wax contracting and expanding contingent to the temperature of the water. The movement pushes the piston up and down exerting an influence on the amount of hot and cold water entering the inlet through the gauzings. It is then mixed to yield the temperature intended by the shower user. Lukewarm temperature is achieved when water is mixed in equal amounts.
This thermostatic cartridge for Shires U960016AA will readily fit in concealed and exposed shower valves made by the Ideal Standard subsidiary, Shires. A lubricant made particularly for plumbing must be applied on the three o-rings of the cartridge. The grease serves as a surface film helping seat the cartridge properly and protecting the o-rings from wearing out; prolonging its life.
