The Numbering System
Trim:
M-CORE 3-Series trim SKU numbers are copies of the corresponding Moentrol® SKU numbers with the addition of a “U” prefix.
• Example: Align® Moentrol Valve-Only Trim: T3291 = Align M-CORE 3-Series Valve-Only Trim: UT3291
M-CORE 2-Series SKU numbers are copies of the corresponding Posi-Temp SKU numbers with the addition of a “U” prefix.
• Example: Align® Posi-Temp® Valve-Only Trim: T2191 = Align M-CORE 2-Series Valve-Only Trim: UT2191
Valves:
Each character in an M-CORE valve SKU number reflects the features and benefits of that valve.
Examples: Number of ports, number of functions, number of handles, connection type, and with or without stops
Cartridge:
To tie to the trim functionality and naming convention, the 2-Series Cartridge will be SKU# 1212, the 3-Series Cartridge will be SKU# 1213, and the 4-Series Cartridge will be SKU# 1214.
