Vado VEL-002A-C/P is a 29mm shower valve flow cartridge used in selected Vado exposed thermostatic shower valves and showering columns with rigid riser and integrated diverter assemblies including VEL-149/RRK/DIV and VEL-149/RRK/SQ/DIV.
The flow cartridge controls water flow through the valve. A worn flow cartridge can cause poor shut-off, stiff or unreliable flow control, or water dripping from the shower head or outlet after the shower is turned off.
