Brass Craft SLD1327 D Pressure Balance Faucet Cartridge

Product Description

The BRASS CRAFT SERVICE PARTS SLD1327 D is a MultiChoice Universal pressure balance faucet cartridge engineered for Delta 13 and 14 Series single-lever tub and shower valve bodies. Pressure balance cartridges regulate the mix of hot and cold water to maintain a steady outlet temperature when supply pressures fluctuate, a critical function for code-compliant shower installations. This cartridge ships in a package quantity of three units, making it a practical stock item for plumbing contractors and service technicians handling high-volume residential service calls. It is the OEM-equivalent replacement for Delta part RP46074.

This cartridge is intended for residential tub and shower applications where a Delta 13 or 14 Series MultiChoice valve body is already installed. The single-lever configuration means one handle controls both volume and temperature. Pressure balance operation helps meet ASSE 1016 and IPC requirements for shower valve anti-scald protection. Plumbers replacing worn, leaking, or sticky cartridges in existing Delta MultiChoice trim assemblies will find this a direct-fit solution without needing to replace the rough-in valve body.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply to the fixture and relieve line pressure before removing the existing cartridge. Consult the valve body manufacturer instructions for proper cartridge orientation, as incorrect installation can result in reversed hot and cold operation. Verify local plumbing code requirements for pressure balance valve service in tub and shower applications before completing the repair.
