Single Lever Mixer Tap Cartridge 45mm High Flow

This 45mm single lever cartridge is the part inside a monobloc mixer tap that mixes the hot and cold and turns the flow on and off. It has a high flow body and is made to suit taps that take Bristan 08GC45FBE00.04. If your mixer is dripping from the spout, leaking round the lever or getting stiff to move, a new cartridge sorts it without changing the whole tap.

Measure the width of the old cartridge body to confirm it is 45mm, and check the base matches (high flow body). Turn off the isolating valves under the tap, take off the lever and the shroud, undo the brass nut and lift the old cartridge out. Drop the new one in with the lugs in the same holes, tighten the nut firmly but not hard, and refit the lever. Bring the old cartridge in and we will match it on the counter.

Common Questions

How do I know which size I need?
Measure across the body of the old cartridge. This one is 45mm. The base shape matters too, so check it is a high flow body.

Will it fix a dripping mixer tap?
In most cases yes. A drip from the spout or a stiff lever usually means the cartridge discs are worn, and a new cartridge cures it.
