Understanding Ceramic Disc Cartridges in Traditional Faucets

While this bathtub filler features a classic old-world look with its traditional cross handles, its internal mechanics rely on modern engineering. Inside the dual handles, ceramic disc cartridges control the flow of water. Think of these discs like two exceptionally flat, polished ceramic plates sliding against each other. When you turn the handle, the plates align to let water through or seal tightly against one another to stop it completely. Because ceramic is nearly as hard as diamond and does not degrade like traditional rubber washers, this mechanism prevents annoying drips and ensures your handles turn smoothly for years without needing frequent washer replacements.

Installation Guide

  • Ensure your bathtub features pre-drilled rim holes spaced at a 7 inch center to center measurement before beginning installation.
  • Apply plumber tape to threaded pipe connections to ensure a watertight seal during deck mounting.
  • Turn off the main water supply to the bathroom before removing any existing fixtures or connecting the new filler.
  • Secure the mounting nuts evenly under the tub rim, taking care not to overtighten and damage the brass threads.

Care & Maintenance

  • Routine Cleaning Wipe down the solid brass surfaces weekly with a soft, damp cloth to prevent water spots and soap buildup.
  • Mild Soap Use only mild liquid soap and warm water when cleaning; avoid harsh chemical detergents or abrasive scrubbers.
  • Finish Protection Dry the fixture thoroughly with a soft microfiber towel after each use to maintain the exterior finish.
  • Aerator Maintenance Periodically unscrew and clean the spout tip to remove mineral deposits and ensure an unobstructed 11 GPM flow rate.
  • Handle Check Inspect the cross handles periodically to ensure they remain snug and operate smoothly without looseness.
