Tapco GRO47050000 Thermostatic Cartridge 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The TAPCO GRO47050000 is a single-lever thermostatic cartridge designed for 1/2 inch valve bodies. Thermostatic cartridges regulate water temperature and flow within mixing valves and shower systems, maintaining consistent output temperatures even when supply pressures fluctuate. This cartridge is the internal working component that controls the blend of hot and cold water, making it a common replacement part in residential and light commercial plumbing service. Licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians are the typical installers for this type of cartridge repair.

This cartridge is suited for thermostatic valve applications where a 1/2 inch cartridge format is specified. It is commonly replaced during valve rebuilds or when temperature control performance has degraded, such as when the valve fails to hold a set temperature or exhibits cross-flow. Based on the part number format, this cartridge is intended as a replacement for Grohe thermostatic valve assemblies requiring this cartridge size.

Key Features

• Single-lever thermostatic cartridge design for precise temperature regulation
• 1/2 inch valve body fitment for standard thermostatic valve housings
• OEM-style replacement construction for consistent fit and function
• Suitable for residential and light commercial shower and mixing valve applications

Compatibility

Intended as an OEM-style replacement thermostatic cartridge for Grohe 1/2 inch thermostatic valve bodies. Consult the valve manufacturer documentation to confirm cartridge compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Cartridge replacement should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply completely and relieve pressure from the line before disassembling the valve body. Handle the cartridge carefully during removal and installation to avoid damaging sealing surfaces. Do not force the cartridge into the valve body; confirm proper alignment before seating.
