Leonard Valve LVC-5D Thermostatic Cartridge

Product Description

The LEONARD VALVE LVC-5D is a thermostatic cartridge designed as a precision mixing component for temperature-controlled plumbing systems. Thermostatic cartridges regulate hot and cold water flow to deliver a stable mixed-water output temperature, protecting against thermal shock and scald injury. The LVC-5D serves as a serviceable internal component, allowing technicians to restore thermostatic valve performance without replacing the full valve body. Licensed plumbers and commercial plumbing contractors are the primary installers for this type of cartridge.

Thermostatic cartridges of this type are found in institutional, commercial, and residential plumbing installations where consistent tempered water delivery is required. Typical applications include shower valves, lavatory faucets, and centralized hot water tempering stations in healthcare, hospitality, and multi-family residential buildings. The LVC-5D is a replacement cartridge intended for use within compatible LEONARD VALVE valve bodies where the original thermostatic element has worn or failed.

Key Features

• Thermostatic mixing element maintains stable outlet water temperature
• Designed for in-field cartridge replacement without full valve body removal
• Supports scald protection in temperature-sensitive plumbing applications
• Serviceable design reduces repair time and material cost on existing installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement thermostatic cartridge for compatible LEONARD VALVE valve bodies. No specific model compatibility data was provided in the product input; verify fitment against the installed valve body model before ordering.

Installation Notes

Thermostatic cartridge replacement should be performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the hot and cold water supply to the valve and relieve system pressure before disassembly. Follow all applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for tempered water systems. Do not overtighten cartridge retaining components, as damage to sealing surfaces will compromise thermal regulation.
