Removing and Changing a Type 6 Thermostatic Cartridge

Below is the general procedure when attempting to remove and replace a Type 6 thermostatic cartridge from a steam shower or cabin.

Removing:
1. Be sure to turn off the isolation valves for the hot and cold water supply.
2. Lift the cap from the bottom of the push button and pull out the dial found on the lower part of the three dials regulating the temperature of the water.

3. Insert a 2.5mm hex key into the cavity where the cap was lifted. Loosen the grub screw – without completely removing it – by turning the hex key once. The grub screw holds the handle onto the thermostatic cartridge. Once the grub screw is loosened a little the handle will be free to remove, therefore it is unnecessary removing the entire grub screw.

4. A temperature lock will now be visible. Write down the details of its position. Then remove the temperature lock for later use.
5. A Type 6 thermostatic cartridge has a grub screw underneath. Use the hex key to unscrew.
6. Wring the cartridge out to completely remove it from the valve.

Replacing:
7. Install the new Type 6 thermostatic cartridge by pushing it in. Make sure the grub screw hole is aligned with the hole at the bottom of the valve. Use a hex key and grub screw the cartridge in place.

8. Replace the temperature lock according to the position you have noted down from step 3. Fasten it by inserting the grub screw into the cavity using a hex key.
9. Reinstall the dial and the cap.
10. Turn on the isolation valves for both hot and cold water supply.
