The GP800881 is specifically designed as a replacement for the Kohler K-8304 pressure‑balance valve. It fits any faucet that originally uses this model, ensuring a direct and secure replacement without the need for additional adapters.

Installation is user‑friendly for those with basic plumbing knowledge. The FIP connections align with standard pipe sizes, and the cartridge’s compact dimensions make it accessible in tight spaces. However, if you are uncertain about any step, consulting a licensed plumber is recommended.

The package includes the cartridge itself, ready for installation. No additional seals, gaskets, or tools are required, as the integrated double seals are built into the unit.
