Review on Pfister 9740420: High-Performance Pressure Balanced Valve Cartridge Sub Assembly by Darius Newberry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This cartridge from Price Pfister did a great job. We didn't get hot water

This price The Pfister cartridge has proven itself. We didn't have hot water, at least not all the time and not for very long. This is a single block as opposed to the older two piece blocks. Please make sure you know which unit you have by the part number before ordering. Just turn off the water supply, open all the faucets in the house to drain the water and replace it. When taking apart an old block, make sure to shut off the drain if you drop screws. Just pay attention to the position of the old block and make sure you replace the new block in the same way. It's really easy to fix. Save yourself $175-$250 on plumbing visits and fix this problem yourself. A quick suggestion: if you're not getting hot water out of the shower, check your kitchen and bathroom sinks to make sure those faucets are getting hot water; If this is the case, you know that the bathtub faucet is probably faulty. The reasons for the lack of hot water are mineral deposits and deposits that block the passage of hot water. The plumbers' trick is to soak the unit in vinegar for 24 hours to clean it, but given the relatively low cost of this unit, it's probably best to just swap it out. The best part was I only waited 2 days for it to be delivered to my doorstep. If I went to the local plumbing store I would probably pay $30 to $40 instead of what $24? I love Revvan!
