Installing the 518114 Aqualisa Thermostatic Cartridge in Aqualisa Midas Showers

Step 1

Step 2

If necessary, use a flat-head screwdriver.

Midas 100: Remove the temperature handle’s centre indice. Unscrew the handle. Remove.

Temperature Adjustment

Aqualisa recommends the Midas shower valve series be calibrated up to a max temperature of 46℃ or 114.8℉. Use a digital thermometer to measure the shower water temperature as you calibrate the Aqualisa 518114.

Step 1

Switch the shower on. The hot water system must be at a normal max temperature.

Step 2

Rotate the temperature control handle until the override button is at 12:00.

Step 3

Detach the temperature handle and the stop ring. Please do not forget the exact position of the stop ring before removing it. You can take a picture of it as a reference.

Step 4

Open the shower. Use the thermometer to gauge the shower temperature.

• Turn the Aqualisa thermostatic cartridge splines anticlockwise for hotter temperature.
• Turn the splines clockwise for colder temperature.

Step 5

Close the shower and begin rebuilding the handle.

Step 6

Return the stop ring. The stop must be at the same spot where it was before it was removed in step 3.

Push the handle’s temperature override button as you set it on top of the 518114 Aqualisa thermostatic cartridge splines at a 12:00 position. Make sure the splines do not shift. Screw the handle tight, but do not over tighten. Restore the indice (Midas 100) or the chrome cover cap (Midas 200 and 300).
