Grohe 47 450 000 1/2Inch Thermostatic Replacement Cartridge

Description

The 47 450 000 GROHE is a 1/2-inch thermostatic cartridge that is used in a variety of Grohe faucets and shower mixers. It is made of paraffin 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.

The 47 450 000 GROHE is a reliable and durable cartridge that can last for many years. However, it may need to be replaced if it becomes damaged or worn out. Signs that a cartridge may need to be replaced include:

• The temperature of the water is inconsistent
• The cartridge leaks
• The cartridge is difficult to turn

If you think that your 47 450 000 GROHE cartridge may need to be replaced, you can purchase a replacement cartridge from a plumbing supply store or online. The cartridge is relatively easy to replace, but it is important to follow the instructions that come with the new cartridge.

Here are the steps on how to replace a 47 450 000 GROHE cartridge:
