Is this your part?
The original parts come out in pieces: a ribbed white bonnet with a brass stem on top, a white pressure balance spool below it, and a small splined limit stop dial on the stem. If yours came apart that way and the stack measures about 4.75 in. from stem tip to spool base, this is the kit. If the old cartridge pulled out as one solid ceramic disc unit, you have a different Gerber series.
When to replace it
The shower drips at the head or tub spout, water weeps around the handle, the temperature creeps hotter mid-shower, or it surges hot when a toilet flushes elsewhere in the house.

Questions
Will this fit a Safetemp II valve?
No. Safetemp II GS-103 and GS-105 valves use the 95-154 or 95-152 cartridge. This kit is for the original Safetemp 49-400 and 49-700 series.
Do I need to buy the spool separately?
No. The spool, stem and bonnet, limit stop and body O-ring are all in the box.
Why is my shower too hot after the repair?
The limit stop was not set. Remove the handle, set the 92-294 stop to your maximum hot, and reinstall.
How do I find my valve series?
The series number is stamped on the valve body. Check it before ordering.
