Jerich LF456282 Ceramic Cartridge 2 Inch Cold Water

Product Description

The JERICH LF456282 is a cold-water ceramic cartridge designed for use in faucet and valve assemblies. Ceramic cartridges provide smooth, durable flow control by using precision-ground ceramic discs that resist wear and scaling better than traditional rubber-seat valves. This cartridge measures 2 inches in length and features a 20-point spline stem, which determines the correct fitment for compatible valve bodies. It is a direct replacement component typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians during faucet repair or rebuild work.

This cartridge is suited for cold-water service lines in residential and light commercial plumbing applications. The 20-point spline configuration is a common spec in single- and multi-handle faucet bodies. Typical installation scenarios include faucet cartridge replacement due to dripping, stiff handle operation, or routine preventive maintenance during a fixture rebuild. Plumbers should verify the spline count and overall cartridge length against the existing valve body before ordering.

Key Features

• Ceramic disc construction for long service life and reliable shutoff
• 2-inch cartridge length for compatibility with standard valve body depths
• 20-point spline stem for positive rotational engagement with the valve body
• Cold-water service rating — not intended for hot-side applications
• Drop-in replacement format simplifies service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ceramic cartridge for faucet and valve assemblies requiring a 2-inch, 20-point cold-water cartridge. Verify spline count, cartridge length, and port orientation against the existing valve body before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing the existing cartridge. Handle orientation matters on ceramic cartridges — confirm proper alignment of the inlet and outlet ports before seating the new cartridge to avoid cross-flow or restricted flow conditions. Follow all applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for fixture service.
