Are there fundamental differences in some of these TMVs?. The attached one, below, would seem to be the better type where a shuttle moves to balance the hot&cold flows, as it increases one flow it decreases the other to keep the mixed flow constant, necessary say in showers etc. I have seen...
I have NuHeat UFH system, and this has no Thermostatic Blending valve on the heating circuit. (Heat Master II cylinder has pick up coil)
Nu-Heat System installed -
This means I can't run store above 60C due to risk of overheating UFH pipes.
I want to add a Thermostatic Mixing valve so have...
Hi everyone. Apologies - I'm new, but I promise to try and be an active member of the forum :)
We're doing some decorating just now and it was suggested that we take off the radiators to make it easier for the plasterer. We decided to have a go ourselves rather than getting someone in for...
Hi
I'm looking for a replacement thermostatic cartridge for this shower which was purchase in 2018 from Victorian Plumbing. The stock code was SK001. I saw another thread about this but I don't think there was ever a definitive answer. If not a replacement cartridge then if anyone has...
Hi, the other day I had a plumber over to fit a new TRV to a radiator on the ground floor. During the process I noticed the pipe connecting the valve to the piping under the floorboards was not properly clamped and was turning first counter and then clockwise. When the valve was fitted the pipe...
Hi, I hope this is the correct place to ask this.
I've been given a bunch of smart TRV's to put on my radiators at home. Mostly they've gone on fine (to these valves)
but 2 of my radiators have the manual valves shown in this image:
My question is, can I just remove that core and...
Hello everyone.
I hope that someone can provide some guidance on something I can’t figure out how it is done
Essentially my plumber has put in my thermostatic shower before the tiles have gone up
So now I need to remove the mixer and the blanking plates to tile and then to refit them...
I have a Bristan mixer shower. It started leaking from the temperature control. A local plumber replaced the thermostatic cylinder. It now doesn't leak - but the water is now 15-20 per cent colder than it was before when the temperature is at max hot. Why? What's amiss here?
Could someone give me a heads-up as to the cost of a plumber to replace a thermostatic cartridge in a Bristan mixer bar shower. I have the cartridge, so the cost would be labour only. I live in Norfolk, so not London prices. I had a guy come round this morning quoting me £75 - this seems...
I have recently fitted a thermostatic external mixer shower in my bathroom. The problem is that when it is set to the highest possible temperature its only luke warm at best. The hot water in my house is generated from a combi boiler which should be able to deliver a hot water flowrate of...

Hi, I need to replace the cartridge on a shower installed in 2007 and I can't find any identifying marks apart from a sticker that says CKL Sch. I've tried the local plumbing stores but they can't identify the cartridge.
It has a 40 mm thread.
4 photos below and any help would be much...
Just replaced taps on bath so kids can get a shower in bath as well ,worked fine to started with then water wasn't hot so took them back and exchanged them ,now these are doing same any ideas anybody ?
background: I have 15 radiators 20+ years old with no thermostatic valves and Bosch instructions depend on replacing the actuator part only of old thermostatic valves. Surely there is an option for new complete valve replacing?

Hi,
I'm having a new bathroom installed and having issues getting the right bath/shower set up. Shower has to be over bath as no space for a seperate one. We have kids who have baths and need it to be easy for them to rinse their hair during them. AT present we have a lovely Victorian style...
