Jerich 79900 Tub Faucet Cartridge Square Stem

Product Description

The JERICH 79900 is a single-lever tub faucet cartridge designed as a replacement for import-style tub valves with a square stem configuration. Cartridges of this type regulate water flow and temperature within the valve body and are a common service item in residential tub and shower faucet repair. The square stem design is a key fitment detail that distinguishes this cartridge from round- or spline-stem alternatives. Licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians replace cartridges like the 79900 when a faucet develops drips, fails to hold temperature, or becomes difficult to operate.

This cartridge is suited for single-lever tub faucet applications in residential settings where import-style valve bodies with square stem seats are installed. It is a direct-replacement service part intended for faucet repair without full valve body replacement. The import designation indicates compatibility with a category of non-domestic-brand faucet valves that use this stem profile. Plumbing contractors and maintenance professionals working on older or import-brand tub faucets will find this cartridge applicable where the square stem pattern matches the installed valve body.

Key Features

• Square stem configuration for fitment in import-style tub valve bodies
• Single-lever cartridge design controls both flow and temperature
• Drop-in replacement format supports repair without full valve replacement
• Designed for residential tub and shower faucet applications

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement cartridge for import-style single-lever tub faucet valves with a square stem seat profile. Verify stem shape and cartridge dimensions against the installed valve body before installation.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply to the fixture before beginning cartridge replacement. A licensed plumber should perform this repair in jurisdictions that require permitted plumbing work. Standard cartridge-pull tools and needle-nose pliers are typically used to remove the retaining clip and extract the old cartridge. Note the orientation of the cartridge before removal to ensure correct reinstallation of the replacement.
