How do you remove a solenoid valve from a shower?

Published in Shower Repair 2 mins read

The reference video focuses on replacing a solenoid valve, which implicitly involves removing the old one. Here's how you would go about removing a solenoid valve based on the information given:

The video (TritonShowers, 2021) doesn't explicitly detail the removal process. However, from the context of replacing the solenoid coil, we can infer the following steps are required:

  1. Turn off power: Disconnect the electricity supply to the shower unit before starting any work.
  2. Access the Solenoid Valve: You will need to access the location of the solenoid valve within the shower unit. This may involve removing panels or covers.
  3. Detach the Old Solenoid Coil: The video mentions the new solenoid coil needs to go on in the same orientation as the old one. Note the orientation of the coil before removing it.
  4. Remove the Coil: The video suggests you "offer that up to the spigot that runs through the center. And just push on." This implies the coil is held in place by friction or a similar mechanism on a central spigot. Gently push or pull to remove the coil.
