Vado FL-501-RTC Cold Flow Cartridge
The Vado FL-501-RTC is a ceramic disc cold flow cartridge used in selected Vado Axbridge and Altitude basin and bidet mixers. It controls the cold water on off function and forms part of the internal flow mechanism when installed in a compatible tap body alongside the matching hot cartridge FL-501-LTC.
Function
This cartridge provides shut off and regulated cold water flow in traditional style deck and wall mounted mixers. When the handle is turned it opens or closes the cold water passage through the ceramic discs, working together with the hot side cartridge to provide balanced mixed water control.
Confirmed Compatible Vado Models
Other Axbridge or Altitude variants using the same valve bodies may also use this cartridge where their specification or spares list names FL-501-RTC as the cold ceramic cartridge. Always confirm by checking the product code on documentation or the marking on the removed cartridge.
Selection and Verification
Before ordering compare your tap model code with the confirmed list above or check the existing cold side cartridge for the FL-501-RTC marking. Vado uses several different ceramic cartridge formats so visual similarity or Axbridge branding alone is not sufficient to confirm compatibility.
When Replacement Is Required
Replace the cold cartridge if the tap drips when closed, does not shut off cleanly, has restricted or uneven cold side flow or if handle movement feels rough or excessively loose. Fitting a correctly matched FL-501-RTC cartridge in a compatible Axbridge or Altitude mixer can restore smooth operation and reliable cold water shut off without changing the complete tap.
