Tapco 40069 Single Lever Tub Cartridge

Product Description

The TAPCO 40069 is a single lever tub cartridge designed as an internal valve component for bathtub faucet assemblies. The cartridge controls water flow and temperature by regulating the movement of water through the valve body. It is a direct-replacement part suited for service calls where the original cartridge has worn, cracked, or begun to leak. Licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians are the typical installers for this type of repair.

The TAPCO 40069 is used in bathtub faucet valve applications where a single lever handle controls both hot and cold water. It is appropriate for residential plumbing service and repair scenarios involving tub-only or tub and shower combination valve bodies. This cartridge addresses common failure points such as dripping, difficulty adjusting temperature, or handle stiffness.

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 to the affected fixture before beginning any valve disassembly. Remove the handle and trim components carefully before extracting the old cartridge, and note the orientation of the existing cartridge before pulling it to ensure correct reinstallation of the replacement. Restore supply pressure only after the valve is fully reassembled and trim is secured.
