CICE 40 TH F Cartridge Installation
Installing the CICE Optima 40 TH F cartridge will depend on the tap you have. As a rule of thumb, remove the handle assembly, the subsequent parts, and the retaining nut until you reach the push-fit cartridge. Pull the failed cartridge out of the valve. Slide the new CICE Coorstek cartridge in the valve and return the parts. Use silicone grease on the O-ring of the cartridge to prolong its life before installing.

Advantages of the CICE Coorstek Optima 40 TH F Ceramic Cartridges
Thermostatic cartridges may fail due to calcification of hard water gunk. Small leaks that worsen over time occur when the brass cartridge develops cracks. These two are just some of the reasons why the tap valve component requires replacement. Ceramic cartridges, like the CICE 40 TH F address these two points.
Ceramic engineered for taps are heat sintered making it extra durable and low maintenance. The materialâs hardness is considered to be nearly as that of a diamond. Hard water minerals tend to adhere less to ceramic.
CoorsTek CICE describes their ceramic disc replacement cartridges as âprecision manufacturedâ. Each ceramic part was made to reduce friction and maintain maximum mechanical and thermal stability.
To briefly sum it up:
Thermostatic cartridge CICE Coorstek Optima 40 TH F can be
â low maintenance,
â hard-wearing,
â precision manufactured,
â and functionally stable (high-performance).
