Jerich 488000 Thermostatic Cartridge

Product Description

The JERICH 488000 is a thermostatic cartridge designed as a replacement valve component for thermostatic mixing and shower valve assemblies. Thermostatic cartridges regulate water temperature by balancing hot and cold water flow, maintaining consistent output temperatures even when supply pressures fluctuate. This type of cartridge is a direct internal component of the valve body and is typically serviced by a licensed plumber during routine valve maintenance, shower system repair, or full cartridge replacement jobs.

The 488000 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where thermostatic valve performance needs to be restored without replacing the entire valve body. It is referenced under the Altmans product line and is intended for installation into compatible thermostatic valve housings where the original cartridge has worn, failed, or lost temperature control accuracy.

Key Features

• Thermostatic design maintains consistent outlet water temperature during pressure fluctuations
• Drop-in cartridge format simplifies valve service without full valve body replacement
• Compatible with Altmans thermostatic valve assemblies
• Suitable for residential and light commercial shower or lavatory applications

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement thermostatic cartridge for Altmans thermostatic valve assemblies. Verify valve model and cartridge seat dimensions before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure completely before removing the existing cartridge. Inspect the valve body seat for wear or debris before inserting the replacement cartridge. Do not force the cartridge into the housing, as improper seating can result in leaks or loss of temperature control.
