Correct. It's just a push fit with an o-ring. To be fair the existing o-ring looks to be in good shape and there's no debris in or around the seat. Will give everything a clean and replace the o-ring anyway and hopefully we should be good to go Cheers

Electric shower, triton kiko. Noticed it leaking from the bottom while in use. removed the cover to reveal the leak coming from the joint arrowed: Ive not stripped it down but i looks like the joint between the contrasting black and white plastic is bonded in such a way that makes it non...

It's the fitting. I.e the complete unit has dimmable control gear. ( Dimmable led Driver) The actual leds in the unit are the non replaceable type

I don't know the make and model and it has no identifying markings. I've got the cartridge out which came with the handle which it is firmly seized to. It's looking like a complete replacement but I'm not in a position to be re tiling the entire wall so going to have to try to limit the damage...
