Hansgrohe 1/2" Thermostatic Cartridge Assembly — 92601000
The Hansgrohe 92601000 is the authentic factory 1/2" thermostatic cartridge designed for a wide selection of Hansgrohe and Axor thermostatic shower and bath/shower mixers. If your shower is failing to regulate temperature, only outputting lukewarm or scalding water, suffering from low flow, or the temperature knob has seized, this complete replacement cartridge restores factory-precision temperature blending and failsafe thermal shut-off protection. Engineered in Germany with heavy-duty brass and pre-fitted EPDM seals for lasting durability.

Installation & Calibration Note
Always isolate both hot and cold water supplies before removing the existing cartridge. Clean and flush any limescale or debris from inside the valve body housing before screwing in the new cartridge.
Once installed, test temperature output with a digital thermometer and calibrate the safety stop to 40°C (104°F) before refitting the control handle and trim.
