Tapco GP330002 Ceramic Valve Cartridge Hot Side

Product Description

The TAPCO GP330002 is a hot-side ceramic valve cartridge designed for use in faucet and plumbing fixture repair. Ceramic disc cartridges provide a durable, drip-resistant seal by using precision-ground ceramic discs that control water flow through rotational movement. This cartridge replaces a worn or leaking hot water valve seat assembly inside a faucet body and is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced plumbing technicians during a faucet rebuild or cartridge swap service call.

This cartridge is suited for hot-side faucet applications where the original ceramic valve has failed, resulting in dripping, stiff operation, or loss of flow control. It is referenced under the KOHLER ceramic valve designation and is positioned as an aftermarket or service-replacement component for hot water handle assemblies in residential or light commercial plumbing fixtures.

Key Features

• Hot-side designation — engineered for hot water supply line service
• Ceramic disc construction for long service life and drip-resistant sealing
• Replaces failed or worn ceramic valve cartridges in compatible faucet bodies
• Aftermarket replacement designed to restore proper hot water flow control

Compatibility

Designed as an aftermarket-style replacement ceramic valve cartridge for hot-side faucet applications. Refer to the original equipment documentation or cross-reference the GP330002 part number to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Cartridge replacement is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the hot water supply valve at the fixture or at the main before beginning service. Remove the handle and retaining hardware to access the cartridge, and note the orientation of the existing cartridge before extraction to ensure the replacement seats correctly. Follow applicable IPC guidelines for plumbing fixture repair.
