Jerich LF462412 Ceramic Cartridge Cold Side 2-5/16 in

Product Description

The JERICH LF462412 is a cold-side ceramic faucet cartridge designed as a direct replacement component in compatible faucet valve assemblies. The cartridge measures 2-5/16 inches and features a 16-point spline stem, which indexes the cartridge to the valve body for correct orientation and secure seating. Cold-side cartridges control the flow of cold water and are a standard service item when a faucet develops dripping, difficulty turning, or inconsistent flow. This part is installed by licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians during routine faucet repair or rebuild service.

This cartridge is suited for residential and light commercial faucet applications where a 16-point spline cold-side replacement is required. The ceramic disc construction provides long service life by resisting wear and mineral buildup compared to rubber-seat valve designs. It is a direct-replacement style part intended for Altamarca Cera-series or equivalent faucet platforms calling for this cartridge geometry. Always confirm stem length, spline count, and port orientation against the original cartridge before installation.

Key Features

• Cold-side designation for single-handle or two-handle faucet cold water control
• Ceramic disc construction for durable, long-lasting valve operation
• 16-point spline stem for positive indexing and anti-rotation seating
• 2-5/16 inch overall length for direct dimensional replacement
• OEM-style replacement format reduces callback risk on faucet service calls

Compatibility

Intended for use as a cold-side cartridge replacement in Altamarca Cera-series faucet valve bodies requiring a 2-5/16 inch, 16-point spline cartridge. Confirm stem dimensions and spline count against the original cartridge prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply at the stop valves or main before removing the existing cartridge. This work is typically performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC guidelines. Use the correct cartridge puller tool when removing the old cartridge to avoid damaging the valve body. Verify cold-side port alignment and spline engagement before reassembling the handle and trim.
