Crosswater AQ9356 1/​2 Inch Cold Flow Cartridge (On/​Off)

SUMMARY

Crosswater AQ9356 1/2 Inch Cold Flow Cartridge On/Off - Clockwise Close 20 Splines

The Crosswater AQ9356 is a 1/2 inch cold-water on/off flow cartridge designed to control the flow of cold water through a suitable Crosswater tap or valve assembly. It features a brass-coloured threaded body and a splined spindle connection for operating the control handle.

The cartridge allows the cold-water supply to be opened and closed by turning the handle. A worn or damaged flow cartridge can cause water to drip from the spout when the tap is turned off, difficulty operating the handle or incomplete water shut-off. Replacing a faulty cartridge can help restore normal flow control and reliable shut-off.

Common Signs of Cartridge Failure

A faulty cold-water flow cartridge may produce one or more of the following symptoms:

- - Water continues dripping from the spout after the control is turned off

- - The control handle becomes stiff or difficult to turn

- - The cold-water supply does not shut off completely

- - Water flow becomes difficult to control through the handle

These symptoms can also have other causes, so inspect the existing cartridge and valve before ordering a replacement.

Important Checks Before Ordering

Check the existing cartridge against the AQ9356 part number and the measurements listed above. Pay particular attention to the overall length, 20-spline spindle, 7.6mm spline diameter, threaded connection and clockwise-closing operation. Matching the thread size or spline count alone does not guarantee correct fitment. Different Crosswater cartridge types can have similar external dimensions.

Installation Information

Isolate the water supply before removing the existing cartridge. Remove the control handle to access the cartridge, taking care not to damage the surrounding fittings. Inspect the cartridge seating area and existing seals before fitting the new part. Avoid overtightening the threaded body. Once installed, restore the water supply and check for leaks, smooth handle operation and complete shut-off.
