## Description

45883000 Close: 90° Left Close Features: -Available with 90 Left or Right Close. Dimensions: -For all kitchen and lavatory models and 0.5'' wall mount valves.

Review: This is the COLD water side. It is easier to install that I thought. - This part, 45883000, is for the COLD water side. (Part 45882000 is for the HOT water side) Nothing about the left- or right-ness in the descriptions helps at all! I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to install this myself, but, it turned out to be a breeze. Things you need to know: The original will be "frozen" in place after a few years. You'll need to use a wrench with some initial muscle. IMPORTANT: While turning the obvious nut on the original valve, you must hold the ENTIRE fixture from under the sink so it doesn't rotate with your motion to remove the old valve, or while installing the new valve -- the fixture will rotate otherwise, and you'll break/kink/rupture the flex hoses attaching it to the water. This part already comes with a rubber gasket/washer attached at the thread (so, don't panic after you've installed it and forgot to look). I recommend using white teflon tape on the threads, but you don't have to.
Review: Excellent Replacement - We have an older Grohe lavatory faucet that had extreme mineral buildup, not allowing the faucet to be operated smoothly. This replacement valve was an exact fit and the resulting facet turns smoothly as it did when it was originally installed 23 years ago. Thank you. Highly recommend this unit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this for the hot(left side) handle?**
A: RIGHT hand (45883) is counter-clockwise closing (turning off water) of the valve which would typically be used for the cold water side (your right as you face the faucet) of your two handle faucet.  

Obviously, LEFT hand (45882) would be the opposite or clock-wise closing typically used for HOT water side (your left as you face the faucet) of your two handle faucet.   

These numbers are for the 1/2" size only.

**Q: Does this part rotate clockwise to the right to turn on, and counterclockwise to the left to turn off?**
A: Hot and cold are opposite rotations.  Hot rotates clockwise to turn on and cold rotates counter clockwise to turn on

**Q: Where is this part made? China or Germany?**
A: I don't remember but part has worked flawlessly since installed.

**Q: Is this part the same as part number 017001310?  My potfiller is 10+ years old and this seems to be a match but with different numbers.**
A: That’s a question for Grohe and they can help you with the parts you need when you call their customer service. This is what I did before ordering it online,because they don’t have all these parts to send out to you.
