GROHE47157000 Tiief Cartridge

Used this to replace the mixing valve in my Grohe Eurowing tub/shower set. Also replaced the check valves and seals while I had everything opened up. Repair was easily accomplished and went smoothly... except that I had the valve in upside down the first time and had to correct that. Highly recommended.

The tub spout started leaking just 10 months in after replacing the cartridge. This is an expensive cartridge, I would expect this to last much longer than that. Not sure if this is still under warranty.

Works good no problems.

We had a drip in our shower. After watching several you tube videos this part is in many cases is the reason your shower leaks. Make sure you use grease before inserting cartridge. Grohe has great customer service. If you need a diagram or their recomendation call them. Only complain is cost of parts. This is a DIY project. Money saved not having to pay Plummer.

I had attempted to fix the old unit so I am very familiar with how to install it. I must have put the old one in 5 times and never had a problem. The new one leaked and i was able to figure out it was because the ring did not seat properly. It was lubricated and seated correctly before installation. Pressing in the valve body caused it to shift out of the recess for it and stick out not creating a seal. I had to fiddle around with a screwdriver to get it to go back into its recess while assembling. Something was molded or finished not quite right. Once I got it together it worked fine. This should not have been such a bother to install.

Part arrived broken. Unfortunately I had taken the diverter completely apart and installed it before I realized that the spindle was completely free and the value was locked open and could not be moved. Waste of 2 hours time due to poor quality control. My fault for not checking because it was obviously defective with the spindle wobbly and spinning free, but this should have been caught before it was shipped.

Works as advertised. My headline refers to grohe has 3 different generations of this item and from a picture all 3 are very very similar. Best case find original paper work that came with your faucet and look at specific part numbers.

Good Deal! Somewhat hard to find exact replacement since this was discontinued in 2009.This was apparently an open box but everything is brand new and in perfect condition.
