Jerich ABRPBCV Pressure Balance Cartridge 20 Point

Product Description

The JERICH ABRPBCV is a pressure balance cartridge designed as a replacement valve component for pressure-balancing shower and tub-shower valve bodies. This cartridge features two flat sides and a 20-point spline configuration, which are critical for correct seating and rotational alignment inside the valve body. It maintains consistent water temperature by equalizing fluctuations in hot and cold supply pressure, preventing scalding or cold-shock events during water use. Licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This cartridge is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a pressure balance valve cartridge replacement is required. The two flat sides ensure proper orientation during installation, while the 20-point spline interface provides a positive engagement with the valve stem. It is typically installed during valve rebuild service or when original cartridges show wear, leaking, or failure to maintain temperature balance.

Key Features

• Pressure balance design equalizes hot and cold supply pressure to prevent temperature spikes
• Two flat sides for correct positional orientation within the valve body
• 20-point spline configuration for positive stem engagement and accurate alignment
• Designed as a drop-in style replacement cartridge for compatible valve bodies
• Suitable for residential and light commercial shower or tub-shower valve service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement pressure balance cartridge for compatible shower and tub-shower valve bodies requiring a two flat side, 20-point spline cartridge.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the hot and cold water supply to the valve and relieve any residual line pressure before removing the existing cartridge. Ensure the cartridge is oriented correctly using the flat sides as alignment guides before seating fully into the valve body. Do not force the cartridge into position, as improper alignment can damage the valve body or cartridge seals.
