Understanding Ceramic Disc Cartridges in Deckmount Tub Fillers
Inside this Barclay tub filler lie reliable quarter-turn ceramic disc cartridges, which operate much like two tightly polished ceramic plates sliding against each other. When you turn the metal lever handles, these plates align to let water flow or seal tightly to stop it completely. Unlike traditional washers that wear down and cause drips over time, ceramic discs are remarkably durable and resistant to debris, ensuring smooth and dependable water control for years to come.
