Is your shower or tub faucet dripping, leaking from the handle, or not keeping a steady temperature when someone flushes a toilet? The culprit is probably the cartridge inside the valve. This CFG (Cleveland Faucet Group) 40069 cartridge is the exact replacement part you need for certain pressure-balancing shower and tub valves.
This is a 40mm ceramic disk cartridge. It's the heart of the valve that mixes hot and cold water and, crucially, balances the pressure to prevent sudden scalding or freezing shocks. If your old one is worn out, this new one will restore proper function.
It's built as a durable, high-quality direct replacement. It has an integrated pressure balancing spool inside. This isn't a universal fit – it's specifically made to match the original CFG/Cleveland Faucet Group valves that used this 40069 part number. Common in many apartments, condos, and homes.
Replacing a cartridge is a common DIY plumbing fix that can save you calling a plumber. Just make sure to turn off your water supply first! Swap out the old, calcified cartridge for this new one, and you should have smooth, reliable temperature control and no more leaks from the handle area.
