spindle
In cell biology, the spindle apparatus (or mitotic spindle) refers to the cytoskeletal structure of eukaryotic cells that forms during cell division to separate sister chromatids between daughter cells. It is referred to as the mitotic spindle during mitosis, a process that produces genetically identical daughter cells, or the meiotic spindle during meiosis, a process that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
Besides chromosomes, the spindle apparatus is composed of hundreds of proteins. Microtubules comprise the most abundant components of the machinery.
HI folks, hoping to pick your brains. My bathrooms have Bastow tapware in federation style. House was built 1997, so these are 25 years old now. The spindle has a screw on shaft, that I assume lets them have just one type of spindle and then change the shaft for different colours - gold in my...
Keen amatuer that I am I decided to have a go at changing the cartridge in my shower when the old one failed. I had a spare as I got one when I had the valve fitted. The cartridge is as a SC50T32 I followed the video on the Ultra technical site l and it all went smoothly but I now have a...
I recently fitted one of these SC50T32 after the, not very old, one started to constantly drip water from the shower head. All went well with the handy video on the utra site Technical - https://www.homeofultra.co.uk/technical but water continually drips from the spindle where the temperature is...
I'm totally clueless about plumbing but watched a bunch of YouTube videos and thought changing a washer to stop a leaky shower would be simple enough. I was stumped at the first hurdle and couldn't seem to get the flange off. There's a spring and two plastic parts on the spindle, preventing it...
Hi,
I am in NSW, AU, trying to replace the washers in some shower taps but have not been able to find a tool to undo the nuts holding the handles on. I can perhaps brute force it but this is a rented property so don't really want to do that!
The nuts are octagonal! They have a slot in them but...
I have recently brought new mondella pin lever 1/4 turn ceramic taps - Mondella Black Resonance Pin Lever Wall Top Assembly - https://www.bunnings.com.au/mondella-black-resonance-pin-lever-wall-top-assembly_p5004187
However once installed we don't have enough spindle left to properly attach the...
The spindle on the LSV is leaking and I don’t fancy changing the valve for fear of starting with one leak and ending up with three! So, I am going to try the trick with Loctite 55 and wrap it around the spindle and put the nut back.
My question is, should I also use a dab of hawk white or...
Hi all,
First time renovator and registered plumber. I'm replacing my old full turn taps with quarter turn taps that have ceramic disc spindles, but the new taps seem to randomly gush hot water while the handle is turned off after they have been used, any ideas on what could be going wrong? We...
Hi, My tap is drippping and I wanted to try and replace the washer myself but am struggling to get the top part off.
I have removed the lever handle and everything online says there should be a grub screw inside the hole that I can use an Allen key to open but it seems to be empty.
I don't...

A few months ago, our bath tap began to leak. No matter how hard we turned the taps off (which we later learnt causes further damage) it would still leak, and gradually got worse over time. We...

Hi
I have a concealed thermostatic mixer shower with three control knobs. The one that changes the temperature of the water (middle knob) just slips around and around and having removed it I can see there is no grip on the spindle and it's just created a groove all around. I'm aiming to drill...
Hi there.
I'm a home DIYer with a question (please excuse if my terminology is incorrect).
A tap I have has a wobbly handwheel. On removing the handwheel I found it's the spindle of the cartridge that's wobbling. In off or fully on postions the spindle doesnt wobble, it only wobbles when the...
hi. I removed actuator from motorised valve. Spindle at 12 noon so valve should be closed. However hot is flowing through the valve. I can manually turn the spindle about 20 degrees. Is it possible the gland inside is not turning even though spindle is? Many thanks.

I replaced three trv's and also a two port valve on the heating.The boiler and cylinder r in the loft.I fittedo and all was OK for three days and know it fails to fire up every two days unless you loosen spindle...
First time posting so thank you for any help in advance.
I can't seem to open what I believe is a Lockshield valve, turning anti-clockwise and will not budge. I'm trying to turn the spindle in the centre.
Never had a radiator before and not entirely sure that is the issue is there something...
Not much general plumbing experience.
Mains stopcock handle sheared off. Street isolation only outside for 4/5 houses.
So to save any faffing about was just going replace spindle.
Question is do all stopcocks have same size spindle and gland thread?
Hi all
I've got a dripping tap but can't figure out how to take it apart and don't want to damage it by trying incorrectly. I can't see anyway to separate the tap to get inside and there is nothing to pry off that I can see.
any advice gratefully received.
cheers
