Quarter-turn ceramic cartridge
This Kingston Brass quarter-turn ceramic cartridge controls water flow at the source with a 1/2" O.D. by 3/8" O.D. connection. The ceramic mechanism resists wear and helps prevent drips over long service life. A removable handle simplifies maintenance or replacement when needed. Finishes are corrosion resistant for a clean appearance in exposed installations.
Anti-seize quarter-turn upgrade
The cartridge replaces older compression or multi-turn stems that tend to seize or weep after years of mineral build-up. Quarter-turn action reduces the torque required to shut off the supply, which is helpful in tight cabinet spaces. The anti-seize design keeps the valve operable even after extended periods without use. The jump is worth it when an existing stop valve becomes stiff, leaks at the packing nut or fails to seal completely.
Residential and light-commercial shut-off points
This cartridge suits plumbers and homeowners fitting or repairing angle stops, straight stops or supply valves in kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms. It fits Kingston Brass valve bodies that accept the specified O.D. dimensions. Installers who need a different connection size, a full-port ball valve or a pressure-balancing cartridge should look at other product lines.

Questions about this item
What size supply lines does the 1/2" O.D. x 3/8" O.D. valve connect to?
The valve fits a 1/2 inch outer-diameter supply line on one side and a 3/8 inch outer-diameter line on the other, matching common residential stops.
How is the quarter-turn ceramic cartridge installed, and what step is often missed?
Thread the valve onto the supply pipe, tighten with a wrench on the flats, then open and close the handle once to seat the ceramic disc before pressure testing.
When should the ceramic cartridge or handle be replaced on this shut-off valve?
Replace the cartridge if the valve drips when fully closed or the handle becomes stiff; the handle removes easily for cartridge access.
