Revainrating 5 out of 5

Matches the others I use. There are brass brackets that I needed!

See header. I have not currently used these particular ones. I was looking to buy the cheapest 2 pack without clamps but I need new clamps for a pair of 3 faucets I recently made and have seen them rust quite badly already. I have (and have used) a few other replacement cartridges from various brands and they match exactly when compared to the ones I've used. These types of sink parts from different brands may have different numbers of small black o-rings, but they all worked for me. I specially ordered them as they come with little brass clips that I sometimes need. Every few years it gets difficult to squeeze/pull or leak the sink faucet and it's good to have one on hand. My bathroom shower handles use the same part so it comes in handy when I have a spare. Easy to replace, remember to FIRST turn off all water lines under the sink or to the house if doing a bath that you know uses the same part or sink that has valves that leak or are too difficult to close only when closed . You may need to buy a special puller that screws onto the old part and gives you something else to pull the part out of. Outside. Sometimes it can be removed by taking the old part with pliers and pulling. If not, then you need a tool. I needed it for a few taps and it was worth it. Most of mine came out with pliers though, I started doing this when my bathroom faucet was stuck and I had to call a plumber. I watched him and asked questions and also confirmed that the same cartridges are used in the sinks. If the hot/cold water comes out reverse when turning the handle after replacement, please turn off the water to avoid accidents. Then just remove the handle and pull up on the inner rod, which moves up and down when the water is turned on. turn off and rotate 180 degrees, then reattach the handle and turn on the water. It should work correctly now, so don't panic if it doesn't work as usual the first time after replacing a part. it's easy to fix. I've been doing this since the first plumber call and have saved myself a lot of money that would otherwise go into the plumber's pocket. I know the plumber who fixed the first one cost me $150 for a service call and repair if I remember correctly. I've replaced 6 over the years after a plumber showed me how easy it was. Lived here for a long time and it's good that the taps work without failures,

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
