Frequently Asked Questions: Grohe Avensys Spare Part 00798000 and 07587000

Q: How do I remove the wax thermostat?

A: Remove the Grohe 00798000 wax thermo-element inside the cartridge barrel by disassembling it. The procedure will depend on the type of cartridge. Spring, washers and rings will have to be taken apart. When reassembling the cartridge apply silicone grease to the parts.

Q: The shuttle slider in my shower is broken. Can I buy the slider alone?

A: Yes you can buy the Grohe 07587000. This is the link to the shuttle slider.

Wax Thermostat Element Definition and Types

Wax-contained capsules for regulating shower water temperature entered the plumbing industry. Edgar Frank devised thermostatics caused the use of wax elements in varying industries. Vernet, a company owned by the Frank family is making the capsules since 1952. Di Vapor is an official Vernet partner.

The capsules come in two forms: the flat diaphragm and push-squeeze. The difference between the two lays in how the piston is pushed by thermal expansion.

In a flat diaphragm element, copper and wax balloons as water temperature increases and presses against the capsule’s diaphragm. This, in turn, lifts the piston up. When the temperature is low, the wax contracts allowing the cartridge spring to push the piston down in the capsule. Wax thermostatic elements for shower mixer taps, such as this kit’s Grohe Avensys 00798000, is a flat diaphragm element.

This thermo-element sits on top on the Grohe 07587000.

A push-squeeze element works similarly, with the exception of an elastomer bag that provokes the piston’s movement as the wax expands or constricts. In this type of capsule, the pin is squeezed via radial force and pushed by way of axial force.

As hot and cold water enters the cartridge gauzing, the element operates to mix the right amount to generate temperature in accord with where the temperature control handle is instituted by the shower user. A tepid 38℃ (100.4℉) is a mix of hot and cold by 50/50.
