Prism Basin Mixer with Eco Click Chrome Plated | Prism Bathroom | Bristan

has any of you had change a cartridge on one off this ,my question is what tool have you use to undo the screw which holds the cartridge

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

big grips if i remember right,unscrew the bar Allen key under it

 

[SafeGasInstall]

no Daniel they will not get in as space is so limited

 

[SafeGasInstall]

the one i had today was full of lime scale in and out never seen so much scale on a mixer

 

[SafeGasInstall]

i am thinking there must be a bristan tool for it ......

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

no Daniel they will not get in as space is so limited

have you got the handle/head off?

 

[SafeGasInstall]

yes off course ,but then I took the plastic colar out and then is the nut but there is 0.5mm to the wall of the body

 

[SafeGasInstall]

so no room for grips or spanner as it is lower in the body so you can sort of grab hold of the nut

 

[SafeGasInstall]

i try long players and sort of spin it round with screw driver but no luck ,had like 2mm off lime scale every where ...MADNESS

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

can you post a picture stan?

 

[SafeGasInstall]

did not take one shame on me

 

[SafeGasInstall]

was p***t of that i can get to it ! as I did not want to force it and then damage it and have to replace it and loose £ on the job rather then earn some

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

go back to the job tell the custard many different types etc bristan need a picture to identify,take a photo ,post it up here we will try to put our heads together and work out how it comes apart

i had one of these and had same problem - a box spanner is rthe answer but this one was so scaled up that the brass started to round off even after soaking in vinegar erc - told the custard that i could continue but might damage tap. they opted for a new tap!!!!

goes back to the point of whoever designs these things doesnot have a clue!!!
