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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure balancing function maintains consistent water temperature during supply pressure fluctuations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned as a direct replacement cartridge for compatible valve bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports safe shower operation by preventing scalding from sudden hot-water surges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact cartridge form factor for straightforward in-valve replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement pressure balance cartridge for compatible UNION BRASS shower and tub-shower valve assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pressure Balance Cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNION BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80294\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"UNION BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233699266866,"sku":"80294","price":37.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307613061.jpg?v=1780107033","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/union-brass-80294-pressure-balance-cartridge","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
