Larsen Supply HC-169C Pressure Balance Handle

Product Description

The Larsen Supply HC-169C is a clear, old-style single lever pressure balance handle designed as a replacement component for Delta faucet trim applications. The handle includes the button and screw hardware needed for a complete installation. It is a carded replacement part intended for use in residential bathroom faucet service work, typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced trim-and-faucet technicians. The clear finish and original-style geometry make it a direct-fit option for aging Delta pressure balance valve trim where the original handle has cracked, discolored, or gone missing.

This handle is suited for residential bathroom applications using Delta single-lever pressure balance faucet valves. Pressure balance valves are standard in shower and tub-shower combinations where code requires scald protection. The HC-169C addresses the common service call where the handle is the only failed component, allowing the tech to avoid a full valve replacement. Package quantity is 6 units per pack, making it practical for supply house stocking or multi-unit service jobs.
