The purchase was prompted by a 30-year-old dripping shower. There was a slight problem in dismantling the knob and front plate but only to be expected after 30 years. The brass front cover required some heat to release it but a very hot water-soaked cloth fixed that. The unit itself was a direct replacement except riveted together rather than nut and bolt plus a flat on the shaft. The Yellow splined connection (with the flat) is used to avoid the manual setting up of the OFF position by locating on the shaft flat, but the front plate has a spigot on it to facilitate this (and the temperature setting with the Operating Knob). The orientation of the spigot has to be 90 degrees clockwise from the Hot inlet (marked on the cartridge). The Off position is turned fully anticlockwise. The slight negative comment was the the supplied silicon grease was a bit stingy and hardly enough. I also purchased a Mira 415/Combiforce shower service/seal pack - 936.22. This covered all the variations and proved necessary as particularly the front cover neoprene washer was not reusable. My version (pre-1992) did not use many of the parts but was absolutely essential. I now have a perfectly working shower again; thank you.Read full review

The original shower was fitted in 1990 used everyday but started to leak and come loose, this replacement cartridge has bought it back to new condition, I bought the fixing kit as well, and am very pleased with the result. Good quality good value, and I hope this one lasts 25 years or more as the last one did.

it looks like previous ones I have had which were everything I could have hoped for but I have found that the apparently dripping shower was nothing more than my wife's overactive ears so I shall keep for when the old one finally does give out which it surely eventually will do and this was cheaper than the last one
