Question: We use an S7449AA basin mixer tap. How do I open the tap valve to change the E960670NU?

Answer: Here are the fitting instructions for the Armitage Shanks E960670NU:

• Shut off the tap’s water supplies prior to starting the tap repair.
• Remove the screw cover on top of the handle. There is a retaining screw under it. Use a 4mm Allen key to loosen the screw and lift the handle to remove it.
• Use a 35mm A/F deep socket tool and turn it anti-clockwise to remove the old screw-fit cartridge from the tap valve. Discard the old cartridge.
• Grease the O-rings of the replacement E960670NU thermostatic cartridge and slip it in the valve seat. (Please refer to the last section of the page for the available silicone grease which is used for tap repair spare parts.)
• Secure the cartridge in the valve by turning the deep socket tool clockwise.
• Restore the tap handle, the screw, and the screw cover.

Question: Is this a genuine Armitage Shanks spare cartridge?

Answer: Yes, this E960670NU is a genuine Armitage Shanks thermostatic cartridge.

Question: The tap’s water flow is gradually weakening. Is the E960670NU the suspect?

Answer: Limescale can build up on the aerator. The blockage can lead to a less than satisfactory water flow. If the aerator is clear of build-up, the thermostatic cartridge might be the problem. Replacing the E960670NU Armitage Shanks thermostatic cartridge will likely get water flow back to normal.

Question: The screw is out but the tap handle is stuck.

Answer: Due to corrosion and / or limescale, it might take an extra amount of force to prise out the handle from the valve to get to the Armitage Shanks E960670NU.

Question: 7 year old tap is dripping. Is this the part that’s needed?

Answer: Dripping taps can be caused by leftover water from the aerator or a damaged E960670NU Armitage Shanks thermostatic cartridge. Check the aerator to be certain. Taps that drip non-stop might need a thermostatic cartridge replacement.

Question: How to calibrate the newly installed E960670NU thermostatic cartridge for Armitage Shanks Nustyle baisn mixer?

Answer: The Armitage Shanks E960670NU calibration procedure are as follows:

• Slide off the cartridge’s upper stop ring.
• Set the tap handle on top of the spindle.

• Use a handheld digital thermometer to check the temperature. The recommended temperature is around 40±1°C.
• After the desired temperature of the E960670NU is achieved, slip the upper stop ring back in place against the stop face of the cartridge.
