ZUCCHETTI R97421 Thermostatic Cartridge
The Zucchetti R97421 is a thermostatic cartridge used inside Zucchetti thermostatic shower mixer valves to control and stabilise the mixed water temperature.
This cartridge sits behind the temperature control and blends the incoming hot and cold supplies so the shower can maintain the selected outlet temperature. Replacement may be required where the shower temperature becomes difficult to regulate, fluctuates during use or no longer reaches the required setting after normal servicing checks have been carried out.

Before Ordering
- - Check the visible cartridge code and shape against the cartridge removed from the valve before ordering.
- - Do not order by diameter alone because cartridge diameter is not enough to confirm fitment.
- - Inspect the retaining parts and seals during removal as worn or damaged surrounding components can affect temperature control and cartridge seating.
Installation Note
Use WRAS approved silicone grease sparingly on the cartridge o-rings during installation to help the cartridge seat correctly and protect the seals. Do not use mineral oil based grease on rubber seals or o-rings.
