Penal-Matic Cartridge Assembly

The Acorn 2302-000-001 is a replacement cartridge assembly designed for shower valve maintenance. It carries CEC compliance and is constructed from plastic with an overall height of 3 3/8 in. The component measures 1 in in both overall length and width. It functions as the internal operating mechanism for compatible valve bodies.

Fits Acme Apex Zenith series valves

This assembly suits maintenance teams and plumbers repairing Acorn shower valves within the Acme, Apex, or Zenith series. It is not intended for use with valve bodies outside these designated series. Installers requiring a cartridge for a different manufacturer or model line should verify compatibility before purchasing.

Series-specific compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the valve series: this cartridge is engineered exclusively for Acme, Apex, and Zenith series shower valves. Confirm the existing valve belongs to one of these series to ensure correct operation.

Questions about this item

How do I know the Penal-Matic cartridge assembly is working correctly after installation?

The shower valve should operate smoothly through its full range and deliver consistent water flow without leaks at the cartridge housing.

What comes with the 2302-000-001 cartridge assembly and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains the Penal-Matic cartridge assembly only; any required O-rings, lubricant or trim pieces are sold separately.

Which version of the Acorn Penal-Matic cartridge fits my Acme, Apex or Zenith series valve?

The 2302-000-001 is the single cartridge assembly designed for all three series — Acme, Apex and Zenith — so no other variant is needed.
