Grohe 47080000 pressure balance valve cartridge

What it replaces

Number	Maker	What it is
47080000	Grohe	Pressure Balance Valve Cartridge on grohe.us. Grohe's parts breakdowns print it as 47080, 47 080 or 47.080 and call it the pressure balancing cartridge.

Where it goes

Grohe America's parts breakdown for the Grohsafe 35 210 rough-in valve lists 47080 as the pressure balancing cartridge. The 35 215 parts table lists the same. Grohe marked both valves discontinued, parts reference only.
A Grohe catalog page for Tempersafe combinations 35.200, 35.202, 35.205, 35.207, 35.220 and 35.221 lists cartridge 47.080. One distributor's parts tables add 35 201, 35 212 and 35 213, and the Tempra 4000 valves 35 203 and 35 099.
Grohe's instruction for the Grohsafe 35 235 and 35 236 concealed shower valves lists pressure balancing cartridge 47 080. The grohe.us page names no valve models, only a "(35 000) Series".
Not every 35 2xx valve takes it. Parts tables give the Grohsafe 35 250 cartridge 47157. Grohe lists 47678000 for 35 016 000 and 47 995 000 for the 35 015 001 generation. Grohe's own pages disagree on the cartridge for 35 015 000, so none is named here. None of these valves take 47080000.

Confirm it is your part

Count the splines on the stem tip: 20. One parts seller notes a flat section, so not every spline shows, and gives the splined tip as 7.6 mm across on a compatible replacement.
Look at the sides of the body. Sellers describe this cartridge as black with smooth sides. Two ridges on a gray body, or gills on a black body, mean a different Grohe cartridge.
Look for H and C marks on the cartridge. Grohe's instruction refers to hot H and cold C markings on it.
Turn it over. Grohe's instruction describes two alignment pins on the rear that seat in holes in the valve body.
Check each side for a built-in check valve with a small O-ring. A seller's diagram shows one per side, and a distributor describes the part as a cartridge with check valve.
Recall how it was held. Grohe's instruction puts it under a valve cover fastened with four corner screws, behind a driver and a stop ring on the stem.
Compare the flange. The FourHome part as photographed is black, with a square flange with four holes and a chrome-sleeved stem ending in a splined tip.

Look-alikes

Grohe 47157000, enhanced flow cartridge

Why it gets confusedSame family and the same 20-point stem. It serves the Grohsafe 35 250, in the same 35 2xx number range.

How to tellParts sellers describe a gray body with two ridges on the sides. 47080000 is described as black with smooth sides. A Grohe parts distributor warns the two are not interchangeable. Length will not separate them.

Grohe 47678000

Why it gets confusedAlso black, also a 20-point stem, and sold under the same Grohe name, Pressure Balance Valve Cartridge.

How to tellOne parts seller describes gills on the sides and separate, modular check valves. Grohe lists a separate non-return valve, 47687000, for the valves that take it. The same seller describes 47080000 with no ridges on its sides and integrated check valves.

Grohe 47995000

Why it gets confusedGrohe's 35 015 001 replaced the 35 015 000, so the valve numbers read alike on paper.

How to tellGrohe's brochure describes a one-piece cartridge held by a fastening nut, with a blue core for identification. One distributor lists it at 4-1/8 in. 47080000 sits under a cover held by four screws.

Where the sources disagree, the figure is left off until it is settled.

Overall length, body diameter and body material. Distributors, retailers and catalogs disagree on the dimensions, and no Grohe document found states them. Parts sellers and grohe.us describe the material differently. No figures are printed.
An installation year break. No Grohe document found prints one, and the date ranges given by parts sellers do not agree with Grohe's own documents.
Rohl, California Faucets, Newport Brass and Gerber numbers. Sources disagree on the number or on which cartridge it matches, so none is printed.
Loose parts in the FourHome box. The listing text and the listing images differ, so only the cartridge is stated.
Grohe 47050000 and 47358000 as look-alikes. Grohe lists the first as a 1/2 in. Thermo-Element and the second as an extension kit. No Grohe document was found for 08314000.

Field notes

Guillens, a Grohe parts distributor, marks the genuine 47080000 as not interchangeable with 47157000 or 47678000.
Grohe's instruction has the cartridge turned 180 degrees for reversed or back to back supplies, and tells the installer to note where the H and C marks sit.
