Jerich 90162 Ceramic Cartridge 6.75in 16 Point

Product Description

The JERICH 90162 is a 3/4-inch ceramic valve cartridge designed for faucet and plumbing fixture repair. This cartridge controls water flow and temperature mixing inside the valve body, replacing worn or damaged internal components to restore proper operation. At 6.75 inches in length with a 16-point broach pattern, it fits specific valve configurations where dimensional and spline alignment are critical. Licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians handle this type of repair as part of routine faucet rebuilds in residential and light commercial settings.

This cartridge is suited for 3/4-inch valve assemblies that accept a 16-point broach interface. The 6.75-inch overall length determines compatibility with the valve body depth, so verifying both the broach count and cartridge length against the existing valve is essential before installation. It is commonly used during faucet overhauls where the original ceramic disc or cartridge has failed, causing dripping, hard operation, or cross-flow between hot and cold lines.

Key Features

• Ceramic construction for durable, low-wear valve operation
• 3/4-inch cartridge size for standard mid-size valve bodies
• 16-point broach pattern for positive rotational engagement
• 6.75-inch overall length to match specific valve body depths
• OEM-style replacement geometry for drop-in serviceability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ceramic cartridge for 3/4-inch plumbing valve assemblies requiring a 16-point broach and 6.75-inch cartridge length. Verify broach count, cartridge length, and base size against the existing valve before ordering.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply to the fixture and relieve line pressure before disassembly. A licensed plumber should perform cartridge replacement in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Inspect the valve body seat for scoring or debris before inserting the new cartridge, and ensure the broach splines are fully seated before reassembling the handle hardware. Do not force the cartridge into misaligned splines, as this can crack the ceramic disc.
