Vado FL-501-LTC Hot Flow Cartridge
The Vado FL-501-LTC is a ceramic disc hot flow cartridge for selected Vado deck-mounted and basin mixer taps. It regulates the hot water flow and ensures controlled on/off operation when installed correctly in compatible mixer bodies alongside the matching cold flow cartridge FL-501-RTC.
Function
This cartridge provides hot water flow shut-off and control inside the tap body. When the mixer handle is turned it opens or closes the hot water path through the ceramic discs, allowing smooth temperature adjustment and reliable hot flow regulation in mixed or hot-only configurations.
Confirmed Compatible Vado Models
Other Axbridge or Altitude mixer variants using the same valve bodies may also use this cartridge when their specification or spare-parts listing names FL-501-LTC as the hot ceramic cartridge. Always confirm by checking model code or marking on the existing cartridge before ordering.
Selection and Verification
Before ordering inspect the existing cartridge code or verify against the tap’s spare-parts documentation that hot ceramic cartridge FL-501-LTC is specified. Vado taps use multiple cartridge formats; correct match of inlet size and valve body geometry is essential for proper function and leak-free operation.
When Replacement Is Recommended
Replace the hot cartridge when the tap leaks hot water when closed, hot flow is weak or irregular, temperature mixing becomes unstable, or handle operation becomes stiff or rough. Installing a correctly matched FL-501-LTC cartridge can restore proper hot flow control and extend the service life of the mixer without replacing the entire tap unit.
