Bathstore Metro Thermostatic Cartridge Replacement Guide

• Remove the handles, the main faceplate of the valve, and the thermostatic cartridge clamp nut. Pay attention to remember the position of the cartridge before extracting it. Use the temperature control knob to pry the push-fit type cartridge out.
• Coat the o-rings of the replacement Bathstore Metro thermostatic cartridge with a thin layer of plumber’s silicone grease.
• Install the new cartridge in the valve making sure the indentation on the cartridge matches the one on the valve. The nook is there to guarantee the shroud lug lays at a 60-degree angle.
• Calibrate the cartridge to the preferred temperature. Note that the cartridge comes pre-set by the manufacturer but can be adjusted corresponding to a shower user’s predisposition.
• Reassemble the cartridge clamp nut, the main faceplate, and the control handles.

What is a TMV3 Bath Valve?

TMV3 valves and cartridges, such as the Bathstore Metro thermostatic cartridge, have a considerable degree of protection. Regulations standardized by the National Health Service (NHS), with the help of other independent organizations, require the manufacturing of shower mixers for nursing homes and hospitals be made in ISO 9001 certified facilities. The valves and parts are tested via a third-party inspector.

In comparison to other valves, a TMV3 has the capacity to cut off water flow in about 1.5 seconds in the off chance of a water supply pressure failure or volatile temperature fluctuations. This acts to safeguard shower users, especially the disabled and the elderly, from scalding.
