Armitage Shanks Avon Self-Closing Cartridge — A860372NU
The Armitage Shanks A860372NU is the authentic manufacturer replacement self-closing (non-concussive) push-button cartridge assembly. Designed specifically for commercial and public washroom environments, this time-flow cartridge regulates run time and automatic shut-off in the Avon and Avon 21 tap collections. If your push tap runs continuously, will not shut off, drips from the spout, or shuts off immediately upon pressing, replacing this internal mechanical cartridge restores proper shut-off timing and water management without needing to replace the complete tap body.
