Grohe 47 080 000 Pressure Balance Cartridge

Description

The Grohe 47 080 000 is a pressure balance cartridge used in a variety of Grohe faucets and shower mixers. It is made of brass and has a temperature range of 40-120 degrees Fahrenheit.

The cartridge is responsible for controlling the temperature of the water coming out of the faucet or shower mixer. It does this by using a bimetallic element that expands and contracts as the temperature changes. This expansion and contraction moves a piston that controls the flow of hot and cold water.
