This SK971006 Colonial Cartridge assembly with Wax Thermostat and Piston can be dispatched on the same working day when ordered before 3:00 PM, Monday to Friday.

Bristan SK971006 thermostatic cartridge assembly works with Bristan single control Colonial and Sonique shower valves. Both valves are compliant with the British Standards Institution’s BS EN 1287:1999 and BS EN 1111:1999.

To identify the main cause of your shower valve when it begins to encounter issues relating to the temperature regulation of water flow, please ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are properly connected to their respective side – hot side to the left and cold side to the right. Ascertain water from the supply lines are able to reach the valve unit.

See if the valve is correctly set-up and ensure the hot water from the boiler is at a 60°C minimum temperature.

The cause of the issue can also arise from the thermostatic cartridge residing inside the valve. Mineral residue from hard water can develop between the piston and the cartridge or between the cartridge and the valve unit.

Fitting the Bristan SK971006 Thermostatic Assembly for the Bristan Colonial and Sonique Shower Valves

To install the SK971006 Bristan cartridge, please ensure that hot and cold water are fully isolated. If isolation valves cannot be found, please shut off the main water supply.
