Common Questions Regarding the SK600-1 Seal Kit

Question: I have had a constant drip / leak from my shower valve which has gotten worse over the past month. What do I need to do to fix this problem? I have had a look around the back of the valve and I can see that the problem is not with the pipes or hoses. The leak is coming from the front of the valve from around where the cartridge is installed. By the sounds of it, based on what you've said, it certainly does sound like the problem are deteriorating seals. You should replace all of the seals on the cartridge as if one is going you can be assured the others are either gone or are on their way out also. It's worth a shot for the price; it's much more cost effective than replacing the entire cartridge or the entire valve.

Answer: I need the SK1600-2 thermostatic cartridge assembly, do you sell it?

Question: Unfortunately the SK1600-2 cartridge has been discontinued and is no longer available however we do sell the components which make up the cartridge (the parts which actually go wrong). It's unlikely that the brass housing you have has deteriorated to the point where it needs to be replaced.

We recommend a complete servicing of the valve cartridge, therefore you will need to soak the brass cartridge in a descaler or vinegar and then replace the following components:
