Installation Guidance
Before removing the existing cartridge, isolate the hot and cold water supplies. Locate the grub screw securing the tap handle, which may be concealed beneath a decorative screw cap. Loosen the screw and lift away the handle to expose the cartridge retaining ring.
Remove the retaining ring and carefully lift the existing cartridge from the tap body. Before inserting the SPACW0006 cartridge, apply a thin coating of suitable plumbers' silicone grease to its O-ring seals. This helps protect the seals against friction and abrasion during installation.
Position the cartridge so that the locating pins on its underside engage correctly with the matching holes in the valve seat. Refit the retaining ring and tap handle, restore the water supply and check that the tap operates correctly without leaking.
Before Ordering
Crosswater uses several cartridges with similar appearances, so the existing cartridge should be carefully identified before ordering. Compare the cartridge body, base locating pins, seals and overall configuration with the part being removed. A similar appearance or diameter alone does not establish that two cartridges are interchangeable.
