Barry E Walter Sr Company ABRAS10190 Ceramic Cartridge

Product Description

The BARRY E WALTER SR COMPANY ABRAS10190 is a single-lever ceramic cartridge designed as a replacement component for faucet assemblies. Ceramic cartridges regulate water flow and temperature by controlling the rotation and position of ceramic discs inside the valve body. This type of cartridge is known for durability and resistance to wear compared to rubber-seat designs. At 0.235 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for service calls where a worn or failed OEM cartridge needs direct replacement. Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or experienced service technician.

This cartridge is referenced as a replacement for American Standard faucet assemblies, based on the supplier designation indicating American Standard compatibility. It is appropriate for residential faucet repair applications where the original ceramic cartridge has degraded, begun to leak, or lost smooth operation. Ceramic cartridge replacements of this type are commonly encountered in bathroom and kitchen faucet service work, particularly on single-handle valve bodies where the cartridge governs both volume and temperature control in a single unit.

Key Features

• Ceramic disc construction for long-lasting, low-friction valve operation
• Designed as an OEM-style replacement cartridge for compatible faucet assemblies
• Lightweight at 0.235 pounds for easy handling during service
• Replaces worn or leaking cartridges without full faucet replacement
• Suitable for single-lever faucet configurations controlling flow and temperature

Compatibility

Referenced as a replacement for American Standard faucet assemblies. Verify fitment against the original faucet model and cartridge slot dimensions before installation, as cartridge geometry varies across product lines.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply valves at the fixture or at the main before beginning cartridge replacement. A licensed plumber should perform this work where local codes require it. Use the correct cartridge puller tool when removing the old cartridge to avoid damaging the valve body. Follow the faucet manufacturer's orientation marks when seating the new cartridge to ensure proper hot and cold alignment.
