Thanks was thinking about it, maybe even something bigger like metal plate, but will the central screw hold ?

Thanks John, I unscrewed those filters and cleaned them and back. They look ok - could they be the reason for lukewarm water? Doubt it but I am not a plumber.. Cartridge does move a tiny bit, the problem is I don't have enough leverage to pull it. Here is picture of replacement cartridge...

If I remove those little cartridges on left and right, and unscrew the 4 hex bolts, will I be able to remove the whole front plate together with the valve ? And if I do it, so will I damage any seals that would need replacing ? This installations about 23 years old, Hansgrohe Starck 2000-2002

Hi, there is lukewarm water coming out from the shower at maximum hot settings, so I suspect the thermostatic valve needs replacing. Unfortunately valve is suck and doesn’t come out after unscrewed. Is there any way to pull it, maybe some sort of puller tool for valves? below is phot of the...

sorry just one more lame question - would it better to use plastic push fit elbow or brass compression fitting with olives? Which one is more leak-proof?

I've got multicutter but usually use pipe cutter tool which makes cleaner cut ...

Thanks, I got the idea... below it goes into screed, on top it goes into tap isolation valve. In theory I can cut the back of the cabinet, cut the pipe below 2nd elbow and replace both with compression fitting / pipe assembly. Won't have a clean look, but should do the trick!

I am trying to fix a leaking soldered 15mm pipe joint, hot water supply. I am pretty sure I won't be able to remove any water from the pipe so was going to replace joint with speedfit. Do I need to apply heat to remove the old soldered joint or it will give in if I just twist the top part of...

Hi, I've posted earlier assuming this is Axor Starck fitting but Hansgrohe were not able to identify this part/extension and I suspect it may be from different manufacturer. It was fitted by builders when the building as built circa 2001 and I suspect that concealed parts may not be Hansgrohe...

anyone with Axor experience ?

Is this Hansgrohe Axor? I’ve got same shower mixer in en-suite bathrobe in one our old flat and trying to figure out how to replace cartridge in the bathtub mixer which is just below the shower mixer, and tiling looks like very familiar. Good luck

It’s cold water tap, but yes if I figure out how to remove them, will replace both. It’s in the flat we let out so need to fix it for tenants. Just need know for sure how to remove it safely without messing it up.

Hansgrohe Axor Starck Basin Mixer (part number 10313000) is dripping water from the spout. it's has been fitted over 20 years ago and I suspect that cartridge need to be replaced. The problem is that I do not seem to be able to figure out which cartridge and how to remove the old one. If...

Thanks everyone, replaced the valve head and all seem to be working as expected, so far so good

Thank you sir. I thought that in this system boiler is activated by VR thermostat calling for heat via control centre or is this not the case ? I am not happy to leave it in manually open position though, and want to replace asap so that all works correctly.

It was only one radiator replacement, once disconnected, old radiator was drained but water did not come from the pipes, so no need to drain the whole system. Then new one was connected and that was it.

when we replaced radiators I did not have to drain the system - is this what you mean ?

Thanks, if I need to replace the whole lot, do I need to If I need to replace the whole lot, can I do it with water in the system ? I think I can isolate it from the boiler side, but there is nothing on the other side going to the radiators.

This forum helped me a lot many times in the past and hopefully will help again. I did search and despite there are many posts related to the valve issue, I could not find one similar to mine. Motorised valve on CH zone 1 circuit does not seem to work correctly and doe snot open fully when it...
