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.
