Daryl/Kohler 204292 spline - or good replacement shower.

[Rooboo]

My parents are having a great deal of trouble with their Daryl Hydra shower due to this little plastic part being broken. It's the temperature spline - part number 204292, now discontinued. Has anyone had any luck finding anything that works as an alternative/3D printing a part (or by coincidence has a spare part they want to sell!)

Failing that - and as an expensive last resort - has anyone recently fitted a shower in a similar style? No door, curved glass, shower comes out of the column holding up the glass rather than out of one of the room walls. I haven't been able to find one for sale that seems to fit the bill but am ever hopeful I'm just somehow not using the right search term!

Thank you!

I need to find a plastic temperature spline Daryl or Kohler 204292 or equivalent. It seems that part is discontinued but I'm loathe to replace a whole good quality shower because of a small broken plastic connector. Can anyone help?

The answer seems to be to glue together the bits!

Thanks Basher! I saw that but unfortunately theirs is too broken to glue. They also have a completed lifetime guarantee on the shower mentioned by someone else on another thread but according to Kohler this is only valid for the lifetime of the product so when it's no longer repairable it's out of guarantee. I thought that sounds like a joke but apparently they were serious about it.

Sounds like the guarantee I had on a glass screen that exploded 2 years after installation. It was explained to me that it didn’t cover the actual glass, but everything else was covered - ‘ so that’s the aluminium profile then? ‘ I asked . “Yes, and the screws” I was told.
Managed to get a replacement at cost price as gesture of goodwill, this was 80% less than I’d paid initially- but no one was very happy with this outcome.
