Hi, I have a cubik shower valve from you which has started to constantly drip. Do you sell spare parts for the valve? I believe its the ceramic cartridge from the on/off lever, I’ve cleaned this part out, but it still leaks.
Thanks for your time,

Hi,
I’m looking at getting a fixed shower head and also connect a bath filler. If i read above correctly, can I use the cubik twin valve diverter for this (turn left for shower and right for the bath filler), as your product description only mentions the bath filler being used with a triple valve with diverter.
Thanks

Hi Mark,
Twin thermostatic shower valve & diverter can operate two points but not at the same time (simultaneously).
The following article may prove useful: http://www.victoriaplumb.com/news/showers-new-products/choose-the-right-victoria-plumb-thermostatic-shower-valve-for-you/#more-434
Many thanks

Hi Michael,
You can indeed run them independently.
I hope this is enough to answer your question and if there is anything else please let us know.

Hi Toby,
If you have tried a calibration test on the valve (as illustrated in the instructions) and it has made no difference, then the cartridge is at fault and will need to be changed.
Hope this has helped.

Hi there,
I have just purchased a Matrix Triple Valve with Diverter.
I purchased this because I would like to run a bath filler or a fixed shower head independently, but from the same valve.
Having received it, I am installing today, and I am unsure as to whether I need to cap one of the outlets as I am only planning to run othe shower or the bath, not a seperate hand held shower head.
I have read the article above and the other comments but dont feel that it answers my question correctly, why do I have an extra outlet at one end of the valve when I already hav two outlets at the other end (theoretically allowing me to run out of either outlet), to the bath or the shower?
Please explain to me the connection protocol, or send me a diagram illustrating the product I actually have.
Many thanks,
Toby

There is no water coming out of the bath tap. The shower still works.
I have removed the valve. The water is getting to the valve but there is a problem between the valve and the tap.
