Ever experienced that sudden blast of freezing water when someone flushes the toilet while you're showering? Or that alarming moment when the temperature suddenly skyrockets to scalding levels? If you've had enough of these uncomfortable and potentially dangerous shower experiences, our RP46074 Shower Valve Cartridge Assembly is exactly what you need.
Most people don't think about their shower valve until something goes wrong. But that moment when the temperature suddenly changes can be more than just uncomfortable—it can be dangerous. Our shower cartridge features an advanced pressure balance design that keeps your water temperature within a safe range of just ±3.6°F (±2°C), ensuring your shower experience remains consistently comfortable and safe.
This cartridge is specifically designed for 13/14 series single-handle bathtub and shower faucets. It's compatible with rough-in models including R10000, R1100, R1800, and R2200 series. The whole plastic construction not only improves the product's lifespan but also helps you save water and money in the long run. Plus, installation is straightforward—no need to call a plumber or replace your entire faucet when all you need is this simple replacement part.
Replacing your old cartridge is easier than you might think. Start by turning off the water supply to your shower. Remove the handle and trim plate to access the old cartridge. Clean any contaminants from the area before inserting the new RP46074 cartridge. Reassemble everything, turn the water back on, and enjoy consistently safe shower temperatures once again.
Remember to double-check that you have a 13/14 series faucet before ordering, as this cartridge is not compatible with 1300/1400 series models. With this simple repair, you'll restore proper function to your shower while gaining that peace of mind that comes with knowing your family is protected from temperature fluctuations.
