Tapco 974-041 Hot and Cold Cartridge

Product Description

The TAPCO 974-041 is a hot and cold cartridge designed for faucet valve control in residential and light commercial plumbing applications. This cartridge serves as the internal mixing and flow-control component within a faucet body, regulating the transition between hot and cold water supply lines. It is a direct-replacement part installed by licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians during faucet repair or rebuild service calls.

The 974-041 is suited for faucet repair scenarios where the original cartridge has worn, cracked, or begun to leak past the seals.
