How to Replace a Grohe Concetto cartridge (UK)

Fit a genuine 46048000 46mm. UK isolation, ceramic disc alignment and lever refit.

Grohe

Identify

The Grohe Concetto cartridge is a 46048000 46mm. Measure diameter with vernier — Grohe used two body sizes on similar-looking taps.

Fit

Isolate under sink. Pop the hot/cold badge, undo the grub screw. Lift lever. Undo dome nut. Withdraw old cartridge. Fit new, aligning the spline at 12 o'clock so hot pulls back-left.

Test

Turn on slowly. Cycle full hot / full cold three times to seat the ceramic discs.

Frequently asked questions

OEM or compatible?
Grohe originals last twice as long in hard water. Compatibles OK for tenanted properties.
Do I need silicone grease?
Yes — silicone grease on the O-rings, never petroleum jelly (perishes EPDM).
