Where it goes
Danco's page for 89902 lists Glacier Bay single-handle bathroom faucet models 169-640, 704-612 and 704-615. Home Depot's page for the same Danco part lists the same three models.
Danco's product name also names AquaSource single-handle faucets, but no AquaSource model is given. No Glacier Bay or AquaSource guide for these faucets was found, so no other models are listed here.
Confirm it is your part
The base: three ports in one black seal, a screen in one port, two pegs. Bench photo.
Measure across the body. Danco lists the outside diameter at 1.37 in. and the FourHome listing gives 35 mm. A body under 1 in. across, such as Danco's 10738B at 0.98 in. wide, is a different cartridge.
Look at the stem. Danco's photos and the FourHome photos show a white square stem with a square socket in the end, rising out of a ribbed blue collar.
Turn it over. The base is white, with three ports set inside one black seal and a mesh screen in one of them.
Look for two small pegs on the base. Danco's single-handle repair steps have them lined up with notches or holes in the faucet body.
Check where it came from. Danco ties this cartridge to single-handle bathroom faucets. A cartridge pulled from a tub and shower valve is a different part.
Do not go by the print. The FourHome part reads N35.DW over VG1208X. No source found shows what the original Glacier Bay cartridge is marked.
Look-alikes
Danco 10738B (10738), cartridge for Glacier Bay and AquaSource single-handle faucets
Why it gets confusedSame two brands, same single-handle wording, and also a blue cartridge.
How to tellDanco lists 10738B at 0.98 in. wide and 1.94 in. tall. The GB-1 body is 1.37 in. across, so the 10738B is visibly the smaller of the two.
Danco 10670, cartridge for AquaSource and Glacier Bay single-handle tub and shower faucets
Why it gets confusedSame brands and also sold as a single-handle cartridge.
How to tellHome Depot lists 10670 for single-handle tub and shower faucets of the pressure balance style. GB-1 is listed for single-handle bathroom faucets.
Danco 89932, cartridge for Glacier Bay, AquaSource and Pegasus single-handle faucets
Why it gets confusedNearly the same Danco number, and its title names the same brands plus Pegasus.
How to tellHome Depot lists 89932 for Pegasus and Glacier Bay single-handle tub and shower faucets. No source found names Pegasus for the GB-1.
Glacier Bay RP20044C and RP20005C, 35 mm cartridge
Why it gets confusedOne parts seller lists it as a 35 mm single-handle cartridge for Glacier Bay faucets with a square handle connection.
How to tellThat seller shows KEROX stamped on the top. No source ties RP20044C or RP20005C to the 169-640, 704-612 or 704-615 faucets, so no interchange is stated either way.

Field notes
169-640, 704-612 and 704-615 are faucet model numbers. Look for them on the faucet box or paperwork, not on the cartridge.
FourHome replacement
The FourHome replacement ships as one assembled cartridge; the listing says the faucet's own bonnet nut or retaining ring is reused and is not included.
