SPS 034 is a Type 8 thermo core. Measuring 9.2 centimeters, it has three external o-rings and a thermostatic element. Two gauzings practically filter sand and grit from inbound hot and cold water.

Valves are devised differently. Design varies in form and size. Earlier models deviate from the new. Though it is considered a “universal” cartridge and fits steam shower brands stated above, including those of Chinese origin, it is still recommended to access the old cartridge just to be certain the right replacement part will be selected.
