The Crosswater MB1086 is a 2-way diverter cartridge used to control outlet selection in selected Crosswater multifunction shower valve and bath shower mixer assemblies. It is the internal selector cartridge that directs water between two function outlets rather than controlling thermostatic temperature.
This cartridge should be checked when outlet selection becomes stiff, unreliable or incomplete. A common symptom of flow or diverter cartridge failure can be water continuing to drip or pass from a shower head, handset or spout when the shower or tap is turned off. Match the MB1086 part number and measurements before ordering.
