How to Replace the Shroud Kit on a Hansgrohe Ecostat Comfort (UK)
UK guide to swapping the shroud kit in a Hansgrohe Ecostat Comfort shower valve. TMV2 compliance, part numbers, tools.
Hansgrohe
The part
Replace the concealing plate and shroud on the Hansgrohe Ecostat Comfort where limescale has locked the temperature handle.
Isolate
Undo the two handle grub screws (2.5 mm hex on most Hansgrohe models). Lift the shroud off — do not lever, it cracks.
Swap the shroud kit
Fit new O-rings between the wall plate and shroud to keep the IP54 rating.
Commission
Balance hot and cold to within 0.5 bar. Run the Hansgrohe Ecostat Comfort at max flow for 3 minutes.
Verify max outlet temperature stays below 46 °C per BS EN 1111 by shutting off cold and reading the outlet.
Frequently asked questions
- Chrome or brushed?
- The Hansgrohe Ecostat Comfort kit ships in polished chrome as standard. Brushed finishes carry a -BR suffix.
- Wall plate offset?
- 10–35 mm adjustment on Hansgrohe concealed valves — use the shroud packer to hide any tile mismatch.
- OEM or aftermarket for Hansgrohe?
- For TMV2/TMV3 compliance always fit genuine Hansgrohe cartridges. Aftermarket voids the Ecostat Comfort approval.
