Ideal Standard Temperature Handle Cap — A962878AA
The Ideal Standard A962878AA is a genuine factory replacement end cap engineered specifically for temperature control handles on select Ideal Standard and Trevi thermostatic shower and bath/shower mixer valves. This component push-fits directly into the center face of the temperature knob, concealing the internal retaining screw to prevent water, limescale, and cleaning chemicals from seizing the internal fixing mechanism while restoring a clean chrome finish.

Installation & Compatibility Note
Designed specifically for the temperature control side of compatible thermostatic ranges (including select Trevi and Ideal Standard shower mixer valves). To remove the old cap, gently ease a thin, non-marring tool under the outer rim to avoid scratching the handle body, then align and press the new cap into position until fully seated.
