Crosswater AQ3083 Flow Cartridge Compatible Replacement

SUMMARY

Crosswater AQ3083 On/Off Flow Cartridge Compatible Replacement for Recessed Shower Valves

This on/off flow cartridge is compatible with the Crosswater AQ3083 used in selected recessed shower valves, including older thermostatic valve assemblies with a red override button and the Kai Lever KL0001RC recessed shut-off valve.

The cartridge controls water flow through the valve and shuts it off when the flow control is closed. On thermostatic shower valves, water temperature is regulated by a separate thermostatic cartridge.

Technical Details

- - Part number: AQ3083

- - Part type: on/off flow-control cartridge

- - Application: selected recessed shower valves and the Kai Lever KL0001RC shut-off valve

- - Code history: AQ3083 is the earlier reference for AQ8083

Before Ordering

Check the original cartridge code and the exact valve version, together with the spindle length and shape, spline arrangement, thread and direction of operation. Some valve models have more than one internal design, so the model name, installation date or a single measurement alone is not enough to identify the correct cartridge.

Fault Finding

Symptom: Water continues to drip from the shower head after the flow control has been turned off.

Likely Cause: Debris, limescale or wear preventing the flow cartridge from sealing.

Solution: Inspect and clean the cartridge and valve housing as directed in the valve instructions. Replace the cartridge if it is worn or damaged. If dripping persists after cleaning or replacement, have the valve assembly checked.

Installation

Isolate both hot and cold water supplies before removing the controls or cartridge. Follow the procedure for the specific valve, apply a thin coating of suitable silicone grease to the relevant O-rings and seals, then reassemble and check that the flow control operates correctly and the valve seals.
