Lordahl MT040 Self-closing Cartridge Tempus

Product Description

The LORDAHL MT040 is a self-closing cartridge designed for faucet and valve assemblies where automatic shut-off function is required. Self-closing cartridges control water flow by returning to the closed position automatically after the handle is released, eliminating the need for manual shut-off. This type of cartridge is a common service part in commercial and institutional plumbing fixtures. Installation is performed by a licensed plumber during new fixture assembly or routine valve maintenance.

The MT040 is suited for use in self-closing faucet bodies commonly found in commercial restrooms, public facilities, and institutional settings where water conservation and hands-free operation are priorities. It serves as a direct replacement cartridge during scheduled maintenance or when the original cartridge shows wear, dripping, or failure to close fully.

Key Features

• Self-closing mechanism returns valve to closed position automatically upon handle release
• Cartridge-style design allows for straightforward in-field replacement without full fixture removal
• Compatible with Tempus-series faucet bodies as indicated by product designation

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply completely and relieve line pressure before removing the existing cartridge. Inspect the cartridge seat and housing for debris or damage before installing the replacement. Do not force the cartridge into position, as improper seating can result in leaks or damage to the valve body.
