Review on GROHE 45882000 Ceramic Cartridge - No Finish by Alvis Minchenko

Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Easy to install once you figured out the trick (I had to insert a 2x4 piece to block the movement of the fitting under the countertop when loosening/tightening the cartridge on top). On the packaging and the product *marked* Made in Germany, but today this is not a guarantee. In any case, the price was right and it works great. Note: This part number turns off the water when you turn it clockwise, which is great for a hot water pen, but not a cold water pen.
