Its spindle is shorter in length. The teeth spline count of the CEL-001B-WAX is 24 compared to the 20 found on its counterpart.

Changing the VADO CEL-001B-WAX Thermostatic Cartridge in a Dual Handle Concealed Shower Valve
Before starting, please make sure the drain is plugged to prevent small parts from falling in it.
1: Turn the handle lever in a clockwise motion to remove it from the handle cover.
2: Loosen the screw using a 2.5mm hex key to remove the handle cap.
Repeat steps one and two for the other handle.
3: Pull the temperature stop ring out of the top of the thermostatic cartridge.
4: Twist the attachment rings counterclockwise to detach the faceplate.
5: Isolate water supplies through the isolation screws located on the left and right side of the valve’s surface. To completely shut down hot and cold water supplies, use a screwdriver to tighten both isolation screws – but refrain from tightening too much.
6: Confirm if water supply shut off is complete by placing the handle on top of the temperature control and turn in around counterclockwise till it stops. Then, turn it fully in the opposite direction. Check if water is isolated.
7: Use a spanner to screw the old cartridge out.
8: Clean the interior of the valve housing using a cloth or a small brush.
9: Grease all O-rings of the replacement CEL-001B-WAX cartridge. Install it in the valve. Screw tightly using the spanner.
10: Reopen the isolation screws and check for leaks around the cartridge.
11: Restore the shrouds, the attachment rings, and the valve’s faceplate.
12: Calibrate and re-calibrate the cartridge until the desired temperature, usually 38℃ (100.4℉), is reached.
13: Replace and screw the flow cartridge handle back in place.
14: To reinstall the temperature stop ring, ensure the stop point is facing north. This process is the same for the stop button found on the temperature handle cap. In fitting the stop ring back, make sure the splines are not moved.
15: Reattach the cap screw and handle prong.

Shower Facts: What are Concealed Shower Valves?
As the name suggests, a concealed shower valve has its body fitted at the back of a bathroom wall. It rests inside the wall with the exception of its faceplate and control handles. This type of valve requires a 100mm (10cm) recess depth behind the shower wall. The Vado Celsius is a concealed shower valve.
Even if the valve is hidden at the back of a shower enclosure wall, access to it does not prove to be difficult for repairs. Valve handles, together with its faceplate, can be withdrawn straightforwardly and cartridges can be replaced easily.
Merits of a concealed shower valve as opposed to an exposed one lay in its decorative appeal: pipework is hidden out of sight and a flood of design choices are available in the market.
