ID: 174270

Description:

Steps:

1. Start by carefully removing the small blue/red button on the mixer handle. You can gently prior this off with a small screw driver
2. Inside the mixer handle is a small allen key grub screw which can be loosened by turning anti-clockwise.
3. The shiny collar has a thread and can be loosned with a plumbing wrench. To make sure it isn't damaged by the teeth of the wrench cover the collar with a rag or some material. It is just made of plastic so can be marked easily

4. Use a spanner to unscrew the nut and release the cartridge

5. replace the cartridge with a 35mm ceramic replacement. The genuine part is S/N 16000007: https://www.vicarioarmando.com/en/collez...
6. In Australia, I just replaced it with one from the local hardware store: https://www.bunnings.com.au/kinetic-35mm...

7. replace in reverse order making sure the new cartridge is properly seated in the tap housing before tightening back up the nut.
