Faucet Cartridge. CERAMIC CART FOR LLUXPLS/EUROMX. Replacement Part. Review: Great product - Worked exactly as described! Review: Straightforward (but not easy) repair for leaky Grohe Ladylux Plus faucet - It's pretty awesome that Grohe engineered their expensive faucets to use a relatively inexpensive one-piece replacement part to address leaks. My 10+ year old Ladylux Plus started leaking from the handle and googling the symptoms brought me to this cartridge on desertcart. The replacement cartridge was less than 10% of the cost of the original faucet and took me about 90 minutes to replace. Most of that time was trying to figure out how to remove the handle so I could gain access to the cartridge. If I had to do it again, it would probably take 10 minutes. Once you get the faucet handle off, replacement is relatively straightforward. Getting the faucet handle off mine was not easy. There is one screw to undo, but the handle was stuck firmly in place even after removing it. I ended up manhandling it off using a mallet to bang firmly but gently on the handle (not sure this helped that much) and screwdriver as a lever (this did the trick). I wedged the shaft of a flathead screwdriver between the short tail side of the handle and the cylindrical metal casing and levered it until it finally came off. As I worked on it, the entire old cartridge started to come apart inside. This disturbingly increasing looseness felt like I was breaking the whole faucet, but once I got it apart I realized that the old cartridge was taking the brunt of the force. I've attached a photo showing how the Ladylux Plus handle connects to the cartridge. The new cartridge is already installed. In my particular scenario, I had to re-use a few external fittings from around the original cartridge - the white collar around the cartridge as well as a plastic fitting that connects the metal elbow that the handle screws into. There's some gunk on the metal elbow where it attached to the handle - mineral deposits or corrosion that formed over time which I think made the handle hard to separate from the elbow. There were some leftover unnecessary parts that came in the new cartridge box that I didn't need. Protips: Cover your drain before unscrewing anything. You don't want to lose any parts down there. Take several sharp photo of the old cartridge and fittings as you take it out so you can recall how parts were oriented. Set aside plenty of time to work on this. If you're not mechanically inclined, invite a friend to hang out with you who is. All in all, I'm glad I was able to replace the cartridge and not the entire faucet. I do wish I had a photo like the one I'm attaching to guide me - all the diagrams I found were helpful but not literal enough to hint me into how much force I ended up needing to apply to get the handle off. ## Features - Grohe SilkMove for smooth handling - With ceramic sealing system - Adjustable flow rate limiter - For all single lever faucets ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000P0BCNY | | Best Sellers Rank | #89,855 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #156 in Faucet Cartridges | | Brand | GROHE | | Brand Name | GROHE | | Color | StarLight Chrome | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,179 Reviews | | Finish Type | CHROME | | Finish Types | CHROME | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00703765989701, 04005176008283 | | Handle Lever Placement | Center | | Handle Material | Metal | | Handle Type | Lever | | Hole Count | 1 | | Included Components | Grohe 46 048 000 Ohm Ceramic Cartridge | | Installation Method | Wall Mounted | | Is Electric | No | | Item Type Name | Ceramic Cartridge | | Item Weight | 0.15 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Grohe | | Manufacturer Part Number | 46048000 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | β€œ*1 year Limited warranty from date of purchase” | | Material | Ceramic , Plastic | | Material Type | Ceramic, Plastic | | Model Name | Grohe | | Model Number | 46048000 | | Mounting Type | Deck Mount | | Number Of Handles | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Bathroom, Sink | | Room Type | Bathroom/Kitchen | | Spout Design | Traditional Curve | | Style Name | Modern | | UPC | 703765989701 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Valve Type | Mixing Valve | | Warranty Type | limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** GROHE - **Color:** StarLight Chrome - **Finish Type:** CHROME - **Hole Count:** 1 - **Included Components:** Grohe 46 048 000 Ohm Ceramic Cartridge - **Material:** Ceramic, Plastic - **Mounting Type:** Deck Mount - **Number of Handles:** 1 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Bathroom, Sink - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![Grohe 46048000 Single-Hand Mixing Valve Ceramic Cartridge, Unfinished - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NKAAM5GHL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this part fit the bathroom sink Ectos model #32 923? This model states that it uses cartridge #4637400.** A: No, this is the 46048000 cartridge. **Q: I cannot see the bottom is it the model with 3 holes and does it come with the o-rings on the bottom??** A: The cartridge has the 3 holes, and come with o rings. Regards, Daniel. **Q: Does the ladylux have a filter that can slow fliw?** A: My Ladylux manual says this: Flow rate limiter This faucet is fitted out with a flow rate limiter, permitting an infinitely individual variable reduction of the flow rate. The highest possible flow rate is set by the plant before despatch. The use of flow rate limiters in combination with hydraulic instantaneous water heaters is not recommended. To activate see "Replacing the cartridge* point 1 to 3, Figs. [7] and (8). **Q: Is this the correct part for the x cafe model?** A: I am not quite sure for the question but I realize that this Grohe element fits many of their models. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by K***E on January 12, 2026* Worked exactly as described! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Straightforward (but not easy) repair for leaky Grohe Ladylux Plus faucet *by C***Y on March 23, 2015* It's pretty awesome that Grohe engineered their expensive faucets to use a relatively inexpensive one-piece replacement part to address leaks.
