Reliance SKIT 100 008 Thermostatic Cartridge Replacement Guide

This is the Reliance SKIT 100 008 cartridge fitting procedure for the Ceramix T3, S3 and H3. The cartridge and the taps are TMV3 approved. Shut off water supplies to the tap before starting the repair.

1. Flick out the Reliance tap indice which is on top of the handle. You can use a flat-head screwdriver, a blunt tool or your fingernail to do this. Take extra care not to scratch the tap’s surface when using a screwdriver. The retaining screw can now be accessed.

2. Use a 4mm Allen key to remove the retaining screw. Lift the handle to remove it.

3. Undo the thread of the faulty cartridge by using an A/F deep socket or spanner. Turn the tool anti-clockwise to remove the cartridge.

4. Apply silicone lubricant on the O-rings of the replacement SKIT 100 008 Reliance thermostatic cartridge and insert it in the tap valve. (Please scroll to the last section below for the available plumber’s grease.)

5. Secure the thread with the A/F deep socket tool and reassemble the tap handle.

Question: Our Ceramix tap only gives lukewarm water. Must the SKIT100008 Reliance Caremix thermostatic cartridge be replaced?

Answer: Check first if the hot and cold water supply pipes are without any blockage. If both pipes are clear and water is flowing normally, then a worn-out cartridge might be the cause.

A replacement SKIT 100 008 will get your tap’s temperature-regulating function back to normal.

Question: What does a TMV approval mean?

Answer: The Ceramix taps and the Reliance SKIT 100 008 cartridge are TMV3 accredited. This means the tap and spare parts met the safety standards issued by the National Health Service (NHS) and other independent organizations. A TMV3 tap will automatically shut off water supply in 1.5 seconds in the event of water pressure failure. This safety mechanism protects the shower user from accidental scalding or thermal shock. Hence, valves of this kind are mostly used in hospitals and care home settings.
