Length

Leaking steam shower or shower valves that have water flow problems may require a replacement flow cartridge. This On / Off flow ceramic disc cartridge is 100mm (10cm) in length.

The length of the flow cartridge you have must be similar to this ceramic disc replacement. The handle will not fit properly if it is too long or too short.

The 100mm flow ceramic disc cartridge is also available in other lengths:

• 87mm
• and 110mm.

BSP

Shower valves can either be a 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch BSP thread size. A half-inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) will have cartridges that have threads measuring near 21mm (2.1cm). 3/4 inch BSP has threads that measure about 26mm (2.6cm). This 100mm flow ceramic disc cartridge is specifically for 3/4 inch BSP.

Splines

The spline of the 100mm flow ceramic disc cartridge is located at the topmost portion. It is the jagged head of the cartridge that is used as a rotational and anti-rotational tool. It allows the flow cartridge to turn the shower on / off without the handle moving on its own.

The teeth of the 100mm flow ceramic disc cartridge counts to 20. The spline teeth count on the faulty cartridge must be the same. The reason for this is that it should match to fit with the spline of the steam shower or shower valve handle.

Another thing to take into account is the diameter of the spline head. This 100mm flow ceramic disc cartridge has a spline head diameter of 7.6mm. Approximate this with the faulty cartridge to ensure it will fit the handle.
