Ideal Standard Multiport Ceramic Tap Cartridge — H960104NU
The Ideal Standard H960104NU is an authentic manufacturer replacement 40mm multiport ceramic disc cartridge. Engineered specifically for selected single-lever basin, bath, and kitchen mixer taps across Ideal Standard and Armitage Shanks brassware ranges, this mechanical valve controls both flow volume and water blending. If your tap is dripping from the spout, leaking around the handle collar, or has become stiff or jerky to operate, replacing the worn internal cartridge restores smooth lever action and a watertight shut-off.

Installation & Fitment Advice
Designed for Ideal Standard and Armitage Shanks single-lever mixer taps built around a 40mm multiport cartridge housing.
Installation Tip: Isolate the hot and cold water supplies before starting. Remove the indice cap and undo the grub screw under the lever handle to remove it. Unscrew the decorative shroud and brass retaining collar to lift out the old cartridge. Thoroughly clean any grit or limescale out of the brass tap body recess and verify that the two locating pins on the base of the new H960104NU drop squarely into the matching holes before tightening the retaining collar.
