Bsc Preferred 45924C Ceramic Faucet Cartridge Hot Water

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 45924C is a ceramic faucet cartridge with a short stem and square mounting configuration, engineered for hot water service. Ceramic disc cartridges control water flow and temperature inside single- or two-handle faucets by regulating the opening between two precisely ground ceramic discs. This cartridge measures 2.25 inches in height and 0.93 inches in width and length, making it a compact, direct-fit replacement for faucet assemblies that accept a square-mount short-stem design. Plumbers and maintenance technicians install this component when the original cartridge develops drips, stiff handle movement, or leaks at the stem. It ships as a single unit and weighs 0.19 pounds.

This cartridge is suited for hot water faucet positions in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Typical applications include kitchen sinks, bathroom lavatories, and laundry utility faucets. It is also a practical replacement choice in commercial environments such as offices, healthcare facilities, classrooms, and foodservice operations where faucet reliability and consistent shut-off performance are required. The square mounting base must match the receiver in the faucet body for correct seating and sealing.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified maintenance technician should perform cartridge replacement. Shut off the hot water supply at the nearest isolation valve or at the main before disassembling the faucet handle. Relieve line pressure by opening the faucet before removing the cartridge. Verify cartridge orientation at installation — incorrect seating of the square mounting base can result in handle misalignment or failure to seal.
