GROHE exact part record
GROHE 45882000 Ceramic Headpart Identification
45882000 is a 1/2-inch ceramic headpart documented for GROHE two-handle faucets and valves whose exploded drawings list 45882000. Use the marked part number and the fixture's service information rather than appearance alone.
Direct answer
GROHE identifies 45882000 as a 1/2-inch ceramic headpart with a specific closing direction. It belongs only in GROHE two-handle service applications whose drawing calls out 45882000 for the applicable side. Before ordering, verify the part number, side and closing direction in the model drawing, then compare the spline, thread, and sealing face.

What this record identifies
GROHE identifies 45882000 as a 1/2-inch ceramic headpart with a specific closing direction. 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 two-handle faucet or valve where listed, with separate hot and cold controls. A matching silhouette is useful for narrowing a search, but it does not establish fit.
Documented model or system relationship
It belongs only in GROHE two-handle service applications whose drawing calls out 45882000 for the applicable side. That relationship is narrower than a claim that the part fits every GROHE 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
verify the part number, side and closing direction in the model drawing, then compare the spline, thread, and sealing face. 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
The opposite-closing GROHE headpart can appear nearly identical; hot/cold position and closing direction must not be inferred from shape. 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 GROHE support with clear photos and measurements before buying.
Service context
A ceramic headpart controls one water supply beneath one handle, unlike a single-lever mixing cartridge that controls both supplies. 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 45882000 the complete faucet or valve?
No. It is the 1/2-inch ceramic headpart identified in this record. The complete fixture or system is GROHE two-handle faucets and valves whose exploded drawings list 45882000.
Does 45882000 fit every GROHE fixture?
No such broad fit is established here. Use it only where GROHE or the linked authoritative documentation identifies 45882000 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 GROHE support to identify it. Avoid forcing a near-match into the fixture.
