Kohler 1071965 Quarter Turn Ceramic Cartridge

Product Description

The KOHLER 1071965 is a quarter-turn ceramic disc cartridge designed for use in faucet valve bodies where precise, low-effort flow control is required. Ceramic disc technology provides a smooth quarter-turn operation that resists wear and leaking over time, making it a reliable choice for high-cycle residential and light commercial applications. Weighing just 0.11 pounds, this compact cartridge is a direct-replacement component installed by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians during faucet repair or rebuild procedures.

This cartridge is suited for faucet repair and maintenance work in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It is typically installed when a faucet exhibits dripping, stiff handle movement, or loss of shutoff. The quarter-turn design reduces handle rotation to a short 90-degree arc, which is common in single-handle and two-handle faucet configurations used in kitchen, bath, and lavatory applications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ceramic cartridge for compatible KOHLER faucet valve bodies requiring a quarter-turn ceramic disc cartridge. Verify the specific faucet model number against KOHLER documentation before ordering to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Cartridge replacement should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the water supply valves fully and relieve line pressure before disassembling the faucet body. Consult the faucet service manual or KOHLER documentation for correct cartridge orientation, as improper installation can result in reversed hot and cold flow or incomplete shutoff. Work should comply with applicable local plumbing codes.
