Tapco 45924C Short Stem Ceramic Cartridge Hot Side

Product Description

The TAPCO 45924C is a short stem ceramic cartridge with square mounting, configured for hot side service in commercial and institutional faucet applications. Built with no-lead ceramic disk construction, the cartridge uses a quarter-turn heavy duty ceramic disk mechanism designed for long service life and reliable shutoff. It is a direct replacement part installed by licensed plumbers and maintenance technicians working on commercial sink and lavatory faucets.

This cartridge is intended for use in commercial plumbing environments where quarter-turn ceramic disk valves are standard. It is noted to be interchangeable with many Zurn and Chicago Faucet models, which makes it a practical stocking item for facilities maintenance and plumbing service contractors who service multiple faucet brands on a single site.

Key Features

• No-lead ceramic disk construction meets current lead-free plumbing requirements
• Quarter-turn operation for positive, low-effort shutoff
• Heavy duty ceramic disks rated for long service life
• Short stem configuration with square mounting base

Compatibility

The 45924C is interchangeable with many Zurn and Chicago Faucet models and is designed as a replacement for Elkay faucet cartridge applications requiring a short stem, square mounting, hot side ceramic cartridge.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing the existing cartridge. Confirm hot side orientation before seating the cartridge, as reversing hot and cold cartridges is a common installation error. Inspect the cartridge seat and body for debris or damage before installing the replacement.
