Summary

Eurobath M7H Thermostatic Cartridge for Orbit & Regatta Shower Valves

EuroBath Thermostatic Cartridge Measurements:

A shower valve thermo core – thermostatic cartridge – makes adjusting water temperature operable with a turn of the control knob. The EuroBath Orbit and Regatta compatible thermostatic cartridge has a two-tier spline. Made of brass, it is hardwearing in good water conditions.

Changing a EuroBath Thermostatic Cartridge

To get to the cartridge, the valve handle and protective shroud must first be removed. A cartridge with a screw-in fitment will require the aid of a spanner to twist it out of the valve seat.

Once the cartridge is removed, inspect the valve for debris and clean it with water.

Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant on the o-rings of the cartridge and install it in the shower valve.

The EuroBath Thermostatic Cartridge for Orbit and Regatta shower valves is eligible for next day delivery, provided it is ordered before 3:00 PM from Monday to Friday.

Discussing Common Shower Valve and Cartridge Issues

The EuroBath Orbit and Regatta thermostatic cartridge is used in a mixer bath tap that incorporates a pressure balance mechanism to produce a tepid temperature by combining a proportion of hot and cold water. Repairing a shower valve involves figuring out the part where the problem originated.

A clogged cartridge will result to weak water flow. Sediment, grit, and sand that move with water collect along the walls of a cartridge barrel blocking the gauzing where water enters. This is especially true in areas where the level of water hardness is high. (Please see our hard water level map.)

Composed of brass, polymer, or ceramic, a tap cartridge is built to last. When water leakage happens it is due to a number of factors, including, worn out o-rings and washers or a fractured cartridge. The leak can start small but worsen after a while.

O-rings and washers keep water from seeping out of the valve and the cartridge. It will deteriorate over time and continued use. These seals can easily be replaced to address the problem. A cracked cartridge can no longer be repaired and will call for a replacement.
