The UNION BRASS 80294 is a pressure balance cartridge designed for use in shower and tub-shower valve assemblies. Pressure balance cartridges regulate the ratio of hot and cold water supply to maintain a consistent outlet temperature, protecting against sudden scalding or cold-water shock when other fixtures in the system draw water. This cartridge is a direct internal component of the valve body and is typically serviced by a licensed plumber during valve repair or renovation work.
This cartridge is suited for residential shower valves where pressure balance protection is required. It is commonly installed during faucet repair, remodel projects, or when an existing cartridge has failed and is causing temperature fluctuation or reduced flow. The 80294 serves as a replacement component within compatible UNION BRASS pressure balance valve bodies.
Designed as an OEM-style replacement pressure balance cartridge for compatible UNION BRASS shower and tub-shower valve assemblies.
Installation and replacement of pressure balance cartridges should be performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply to the valve before beginning any service work and relieve pressure from the line before disassembly. Follow local plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, for valve service and cartridge replacement. Do not overtighten the cartridge retaining clip or nut, as this can damage the valve seat or cartridge seals.
