Bristan SK320078 Thermostatic Cartridge Piston
Bristan SK320078 is a thermostatic cartridge piston for selected Bristan and Sirrus thermostatic shower valve cartridge assemblies. It is the internal piston that works with the thermostat element and spring to help the valve regulate mixed-water temperature.
The piston must move freely inside the thermostatic assembly. If the piston is worn, jammed or affected by debris or limescale, temperature control can become unstable. Check the piston, thermostat element, spring, cartridge seals and full cartridge assembly before ordering so the correct spare is selected for the exact valve version.

Ordering Check
- - Match the exact Bristan or Sirrus valve model and revision before ordering because earlier and later valve versions can use different internal spare assemblies.
- - If temperature regulation is poor, check whether the fault is with the piston, wax thermostat element, seals or complete thermostatic cartridge assembly rather than replacing parts by appearance alone.
