Jerich 19980WS Import Cartridge Square Stem 4.25 in

Product Description

The JERICH 19980WS is a 4.25-inch import replacement cartridge featuring a square stem configuration. Cartridges of this type control the flow and temperature mixing of water inside faucet bodies, making them a core serviceable component in residential and light commercial plumbing fixtures. The square stem design is a specific engagement style that matches the internal geometry of compatible faucet handles, ensuring proper torque transfer during operation. A licensed plumber or experienced service tech will typically reach for this part during a dripping-faucet or hard-to-turn-handle service call.

This cartridge is suited for repair and replacement work on import-style faucets that accept a 4.25-inch square stem cartridge. It is commonly encountered in residential bathrooms and kitchens where imported faucet brands were originally installed. When the original cartridge wears, leaks at the spout or handle stem are the typical failure symptoms that indicate a cartridge swap is needed.

• 4.25-inch overall cartridge length for precise fitment in compatible faucet bodies
• Square stem interface matches handle drive geometry on import-style faucets
• Drop-in replacement design simplifies service without full faucet replacement
• Designed for water flow and temperature control inside the faucet body

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Cartridge replacement is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply at the fixture stop valves or at the main before beginning disassembly. Remove the handle and any retaining clip or nut before extracting the old cartridge, and note the orientation of the original before removal to ensure the replacement seats correctly. Follow all applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for fixture repair.
