This regulating cartridge has a plastic body wrapped around the internal diaphram. As you activate or push down on the spring end of this valve, the water passes by the regulating cartridge and out the spout. Make sure not to over tighten this screw or completely remove this screw as this will damage the internals of this water cooler and drinking fountain regulating valve.

Genuine Halsey Taylor replacement part used in their complete line of water coolers and fountains. The reason why I have this listed for all of the manufacturers is the fact that I've personally used this in place of all the rest and find it to be the best regulator on the market. The only one so far that I've seen that this cartridge won't replace is the 66654C.
Manufacturer Info
Halsey Taylor has been "Satisfing Thirsts Since 1912". They began the first purified water fountain because of the issue with drinking water spreading dysentary among people using unsafe water dispensing devises. Fast forward 100 years and Halsey Taylor is one of the worlds' leaders in drinking fountain and water cooler manufacturing.
Elkay Plumbing began in 1920 with the same hopes of providing clean water dispensing at a low cost for their consumers. Later on during the manufacturing boom of the USA, Elkay demand increased and Elkay started manufacturing water coolers and drinking fountains. During this time Elkay aquired Halsey Taylor along with other company aquisitions.
