Below you will find some of our most commonly asked questions pertaining to our replacement cartridges.
A replacement cartridge is the internal assembly inside a metering or thermostatic shower valve that controls water flow (timed self-closing) and/or temperature. Swapping the cartridge restores proper shut-off, timing, and temperature avoiding the cost of a whole new valve.
The water flow is controlled by a white adjustment cup located at the bottom of the cartridge. To change the flow rate, simply remove the cartridge from the valve body and turn the cup to increase or decrease the amount of water passing through to the output pipe. This allows for precise control of flow without replacing the entire valve.
The cartridge is the internal push-button mechanism that controls the timing and flow of water. If the valve no longer shuts off properly, becomes hard to press, or the flow becomes inconsistent, it’s likely time to replace the cartridge. We sell replacement cartridges compatible with all of our valve models.
