Speakman 26840 Diverter Cartridge 26mm Beige

Product Description

The SPEAKMAN 26840 is a 26mm diverter cartridge designed for use in the Mark II valve body. This cartridge controls flow diversion within the valve assembly, directing water between outlets as required by the fixture configuration. It is a direct-replacement mechanism suited for service calls where the original cartridge has worn, cracked, or failed to seal properly. Licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians handle this type of repair. The beige color coding identifies this cartridge within the Speakman Mark II cartridge family.
