Glacier Bay exact part record
Glacier Bay RP20005 Cartridge Identification
RP20005 is a faucet cartridge documented for Glacier Bay single-handle faucet models whose Home Depot parts information lists RP20005. Use the marked part number and the fixture's service information rather than appearance alone.
Direct answer
The Home Depot, Glacier Bay's exclusive retailer, lists RP20005 as a Glacier Bay cartridge. Fit is established only for faucet documentation or the retailer's replacement-part listing that identifies RP20005. Before ordering, locate the faucet model number and compare its replacement-parts list with the RP20005 listing before comparing physical features.

What this record identifies
The Home Depot, Glacier Bay's exclusive retailer, lists RP20005 as a Glacier Bay cartridge. This is a part record, not the name of a complete faucet or valve. The manufacturer or authorized product documentation linked below is the basis for the application shown here.
The relevant fixture context is single-handle faucet where listed, with single lever. A matching silhouette is useful for narrowing a search, but it does not establish fit.
Documented model or system relationship
Fit is established only for faucet documentation or the retailer's replacement-part listing that identifies RP20005. That relationship is narrower than a claim that the part fits every Glacier Bay product. Product families can contain different generations, valve bodies, or handle arrangements.
Read the source's application details together with the service sheet for the installed fixture. If the fixture documentation names another part number, follow that documentation rather than this visual guide.
Checks to make before purchase
locate the faucet model number and compare its replacement-parts list with the RP20005 listing before comparing physical features. Compare the complete identifier, connection geometry, locating features, and handle interface while the old part is available.
Also confirm whether the listing is for the internal service part alone or includes seals, clips, adapters, or other installation pieces. Package contents can matter even when the main component number is correct.
How to separate common lookalikes
RP20005 should not be selected merely because another Glacier Bay cartridge has a white body or similar stem; model callouts and base geometry control. Do not treat color, overall length, or a similar stem profile as a substitute for an application listing.
A model number from the faucet, installation sheet, receipt, or valve trim is stronger evidence than a photo match. When markings are missing, contact Glacier Bay support with clear photos and measurements before buying.
Service context
The cartridge sits under a single faucet handle and is distinct from the aerator, supply lines, and complete faucet assembly. Shut off the water and verify that flow has stopped before opening the fixture. Protect finished surfaces and preserve the original orientation of clips, stops, and seals.
If corrosion, a damaged valve body, or uncertain in-wall plumbing prevents a positive identification, pause the repair and use a qualified plumbing professional.
Questions
Before you remove or replace the part
Is RP20005 the complete faucet or valve?
No. It is the faucet cartridge identified in this record. The complete fixture or system is Glacier Bay single-handle faucet models whose Home Depot parts information lists RP20005.
Does RP20005 fit every Glacier Bay fixture?
No such broad fit is established here. Use it only where Glacier Bay or the linked authoritative documentation identifies RP20005 for the installed model or system.
Can appearance alone confirm the replacement?
No. Confirm the full part number, documented application, connection geometry, locating features, and handle interface before purchase.
What if the fixture model cannot be found?
Keep the old part, photograph its markings and interfaces, and ask Glacier Bay support to identify it. Avoid forcing a near-match into the fixture.
