Problem with my thermostatic shower mixer valve

[gamage]

Hello there,

Got a problem with my thermostatic shower mixer valve,

The hot water is no longer hot and is coming out only luke warm, the problem started about 3 weeks ago, all the other hot taps in the house are very hot. the mixer valve is in a seperate shower encloser not over the bath.

I've been told that the cartidge in the shower bar is gone, but as i dont know the make and it has no makers mark on i cant buy a replacement.

Im i right in thinking that i can just change the valve for another one? are the threaded BSP connections standard on all shower valves? or do i need to replace the mounting bracket in the wall.

The pipe centres i believe are 150mm

Will this fit?

fitting wise could anything gone wrong? i'm quite happy to swap it over myself or have a go..

I can see much problem in changing if it's of similar design

Check the strainer on the hot before you condem your old shower

But I would agree that you cartridge has failed

I agree with Simon, I've had lucky customers in the past when it just turned out to be a blocked filter but they are few and far between.

On a positive note, all the bar showers I have fitted have the same connection and its dead easy to do a swap.

By the way, your link doesn't seem to work.
