Jerich 20482 Ceramic Cartridge 32-point Cold

Product Description

The JERICH 20482 is a ceramic valve cartridge designed for cold-water service in standard faucet assemblies. Ceramic cartridges provide a smooth, reliable quarter-turn or multi-turn actuation by using precision-ground ceramic discs to control flow and shutoff. The 32-point configuration refers to the spline count on the cartridge stem, which determines rotational engagement with the handle. This cartridge is installed by licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians when replacing worn or failed faucet internals to restore proper shutoff and flow control.

This cartridge is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where cold-only faucet valves are serviced or rebuilt. The 32-point stem is a common spline count found in import-style faucet bodies. Technicians typically encounter this part during faucet rebuild service calls, fixture replacement projects, and multi-unit property maintenance work where import-brand faucets are widely installed.

Key Features

• Ceramic disc construction for long service life and drip-resistant shutoff
• 32-point spline stem for positive handle engagement
• Cold-water service designation for single-function cold valve positions
• OEM-style replacement form factor for import-style faucet bodies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ceramic cartridge for import-style faucet assemblies requiring a 32-point cold-side stem configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the cold-water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembly. Verify spline count and cartridge orientation before seating to avoid damage to ceramic discs. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including applicable IPC provisions, for faucet component service.
