Vernet WeMix Compact Thermostatic Cartridge Platform
The Vernet WeMix is a compact thermostatic cartridge platform developed for shower and bath mixer applications where reduced body depth, flexible water management and reliable thermostatic control are required. Designed as a new thermostatic platform, WeMix addresses the limitations of traditional thermostatic cartridges, which are normally water fed through lateral inlets and can heavily dictate the overall mixer architecture.
Key Benefits
- - Compact cartridge design for mixer layouts with an overall length below 40mm
- - Hot and cold water reversible patented design
- - Inspired by ceramic cartridge water management architecture
- - Allows new mixer designs for concealed thermostatic valves
- - Designed to maintain thermostatic function even where hot and cold inlets are incorrectly connected during installation
- - Suitable for shower and bath applications with one version available for each application
Quality and Certification
Each WeMix cartridge is individually checked for stability, flow, operating torque, leakage and anti-scald function. The platform is designed as a solution for international standards, with materials certified for drinking water requirements.
Water Connections
- - Hot water inlet
- - Cold water inlet

Flow Performance
Flow rate data is specified at 38 degrees C with C-hydraulic resistance. The standard version reaches approximately 29 to 30 litres per minute at 5 bar. A high flow rate version is shown as under development, reaching approximately 40 litres per minute at around 4.5 bar.
Application
The WeMix platform is intended for modern thermostatic shower and bath mixer design, including compact concealed valve formats where reduced cartridge size and flexible water feed architecture can help manufacturers create slimmer, more efficient mixer bodies.
