Jerich LF402742 Cold Ceramic Cartridge

Product Description

The JERICH LF402742 is a lead-free cold ceramic cartridge designed for use in plumbing faucet assemblies. Ceramic disc cartridges provide reliable shut-off and flow control by using precision-ground ceramic discs that resist wear and reduce drip-prone failure modes common in older rubber-seat valves. The lead-free construction meets current potable water standards, making this cartridge appropriate for installations where drinking water contact requires compliance with low-lead requirements. Licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians handle cartridge replacement as a standard repair task on residential and light commercial fixtures.

The LF402742 is suited for cold-water service in faucet bodies that accept a ceramic disc-style cartridge. It is a practical replacement option for worn or leaking cartridge assemblies in single- or dual-handle faucet configurations where the cold-side cartridge requires service. The lead-free designation makes it appropriate for potable water systems where applicable codes mandate low-lead components in wetted parts.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction for compliance with potable water low-lead requirements
• Ceramic disc mechanism for durable, long-lasting flow control
• Cold-water service designation for correct half-turn or quarter-turn faucet operation
• OEM-style cartridge form factor for straightforward replacement service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ceramic cartridge for cold-water faucet assemblies requiring a lead-free cartridge. No specific model compatibility data was provided; verify cartridge dimensions and stem configuration against the existing faucet body before installation.

Installation Notes

Cartridge replacement is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified service technicians. Shut off the water supply to the fixture and relieve line pressure before disassembly. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including applicable sections of the IPC, when replacing wetted components in potable water systems. Do not force the cartridge into the faucet body; confirm correct orientation and alignment before seating.
