Shopping for a replacement Bristan E10009? This thermostatic cartridge can be fitted not only in Bristan Carre but also in other shower valves. There are some things you need to know to ensure you get the right shower spare part.

1. Is the shower receiving a constant feed of hot and cold water?

2. Is the water pressure okay?

If you’ve answered yes to these two, chances are the Bristan CR SHXDIV/FF E10009 may have turned faulty.

All you need to do is get the broken thermostatic cartridge out of the shower valve and measure it with a ruler. Then, compare its measurements to those of the Bristan CR SHXDIV/FF E10009.

While comparing, keep in mind the importance of the number of spline notches. The spline on top of the Bristan E10009 thermostatic cartridge mates with the spline of the shower valve handle. Ergo, both spline notch count must be the same. This replacement part has 24 spline notches.

In counting the splines: marking one of the teeth will help you recognize where to stop counting.
