Crosswater Shower Spares SPACW0002 Shower Repair Tips

Here are some basic shower repair tips when installing the replacement Crosswater SPACW0002 for:

• Isolate water supplies before starting. This will save you from accidental water flow injuries.
• Put a stopper on your drain. Plugging it will keep screws safe in case it falls.
• Never forget to apply silicone grease on the Crosswater SPACW0002 before fitting it in the valve. The grease, made for plumbing purposes, will seal the thermostatic cartridge in the valve and will protect it from pinching. (Please scroll to the bottom of the page where you will find 2 choices for silicone grease.)
• Be careful when removing a stuck handle. If ever the handle is hard to remove (considering the screw is out), you might need to pull harder or use a loosening agent. Corrosion may have gotten on the handle making it a challenge to remove.
• Use a handheld digital thermometer to check the water temperature after installing the Crosswater thermostatic cartridge.
