Armitage Shanks Fixing Temperature Problems with Armitage Shanks A

A962280NU is the replacement cartridge for the Markwik Contour 21. It is a TMV3 cartridge made from brass and plastic polymer. 

 

Thermostatic cartridges are made to combine hot and cold water for a relaxing shower session. But, if a Markwik Contour 21 Mixer is suddenly producing only hot water (or only cold water), it might be a sign the thermostatic cartridge has worn out. Check if the cold (or hot) water supply line is clear from any debris that obstructs water flow. If it is clear, the thermostatic cartridge might be what is causing the problem.
