SSC50T20 Thermostatic Cartridge (Valquest, Ultra, Hudson Reed)
The SSC50T20 is a thermostatic shower cartridge for selected Ultra, Hudson Reed and Valquest twin and triple control shower valves. It has a polymer body and a 20-tooth brass control spindle.
The cartridge regulates the mixture of hot and cold water to control the shower temperature. Separate components in the shower valve control water flow and, where fitted, divert water between outlets. Replacing a failed thermostatic cartridge can restore temperature adjustment without replacing the complete shower valve.

Fault Finding and Fitting
Water that remains too hot or too cold, or a fluctuating shower temperature, can indicate a cartridge, calibration or supply problem. Check the incoming hot and cold supplies and the valve filters before replacing parts. Dripping from the shower head after shut-off can result from the separate flow cartridge or water retained in the head.
Isolate the hot and cold water supplies before servicing. Follow the instructions for your shower valve when removing and refitting the cartridge, and recalibrate and test the temperature control after installation.
