Frequently Asked Questions: A962280NU Armitage Shanks Markwik Thermostatic Cartridge

Difficulty adjusting water temperature, leaks and poor rate of water flow are some of the signs the Armitage Shanks A962280NU is in its last legs. Please read below for additional information regarding this shower spare part.

Question: My Markwik Contour 21 Mixer is only running at a super-hot temperature. There is no cold. Is this an issue regarding the A962280NU thermostatic cartridge?
Answer: Unless you can determine that your cold pipe is experiencing a blockage, then yes, the issue is with the Markwik Contour 21 A962280NU thermostatic cartridge. This sounds like the cartridge has stopped working and is not doing its job of combining the hot and cold water and thereby must be replaced.

Question: I am experiencing a water leak from the temperature control handle knobs. Is this due to the Armitage Shanks A962280NU thermostatic cartridge?
Answer: Yes, this is a problem related to the A962280NU thermostatic cartridge. If the Armitage Shanks valve itself has not deteriorated where the cartridge sits, getting a replacement thermostatic cartridge should fix this issue. If replacing the thermostatic cartridge does not solve the problem, you may need to replace the hot or cold valves, as the leak could be coming from there instead.

Question: With my 10-year-old Armitage Shanks Mixer that uses the A962280NU cartridge. I have found that I am only able to change the temperature of my water by decreasing or increasing the amount of water flowing from the cold and hot taps. Do I need a new thermostatic cartridge?
Answer: If you cannot naturally adjust the water by simply turning the handles, you do indeed need a new A962280NU thermostatic cartridge.

Question: The only water that I am getting out of my tap is lukewarm. Why is this?
Answer: To determine if the problem lies with the thermostatic cartridge, in this case, begin by removing the cartridge and turning on both the cold and the hot taps. If the water flow is good, then it is likely an issue with the Ideal Standard / Armitage Shanks A962280NU thermostatic cartridge which means it will need to be replaced.

Question: What are the main symptoms of a faulty thermostatic cartridge and what do I do to fix them?
Answer: Three of the main, most common issues that show up as a result of a broken Armitage Shanks A962280NU thermostatic cartridge include:

- The water flow is very low or inconsistent.
- The water temperature fluctuates, or the water temperature is either only hot or cold.
- The temperature handle is hard or impossible to turn.

To fix these issues, your best bet is going to be to just replace the cartridge altogether as this is likely to solve the above issues.

Question: I have recently installed my new combination boiler to replace the only gravity-fed boiler I used to have. Ever since then, I have been experiencing issues with control of the temperature of the water. For instance, even if I turn the dial to the coldest that it can go, only hot water is being produced. Why is this?
Answer: This could be either a A962280NU thermostatic cartridge problem or pressure issue. To find out, first ensure that both hot and cold water is being fed into the mixing valve.

- Once this has been checked out, see if it is an issue with the pressure by adjusting the pressure on the combination boiler, or by installing a pressure-equalizing valve.

- If you determine that the pressure is fine, the issue will likely be one with the Armitage Shanks A962280NU. Replacing it completely will remedy this issue.
