Vado VEL-002A-C/​P 29mm Flow Cartridge for VEL-149/​RRK/​DIV and VEL-149/​RRK/​SQ/​DIV

Summary

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.

Technical Details

Before Ordering

• Match the existing cartridge to VEL-002A-C/P and check the valve model code before ordering.
• Do not rely on body diameter alone because Vado flow cartridges can vary by valve model and internal layout.
• Apply a suitable silicone grease to O-rings and seals during installation to help the cartridge seat correctly.

Troubleshooting

• Symptom: water dripping from the shower head or outlet when turned off.
• Likely Cause: worn flow cartridge, debris on the seals, or wear inside the valve body.
• Solution: isolate water supplies, compare the removed cartridge with VEL-002A-C/P, clean the valve body and replace worn seals or cartridge parts as required.

If you are unsure which cartridge or related component your Vado shower valve needs, send Di Vapor a clear photo of the valve, handle assembly and removed cartridge for identification before ordering.
