Great replacement

The valve in my bathroom suddenly started leaking. I do not know why. So I ordered this Kohler pressure relief valve and installed it. It is very easy to install and convenient to use. Don't forget to lubricate the rubber seals during installation. Follow the installation instructions or watch the YouTube video. If you do this it will work. In addition, the quality of this product is also very good. I don't think it will inexplicably break like my old one. Hope it lasts longer. In any case, I…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far

  • Almost never

Solves the hot/cold mixing problem

Perfect for replacing an OEM part. Last week we couldn't heat the water in the bath/shower anymore. Confirmed by other faucets, the water heater was fine. After some research, it turned out that this was the suspect. There are some general videos online to help, but make sure you take a picture of each layer so you know how to put them together. I didn't, so it took longer than it should. It fit perfectly and solved the problem at the right price. Thank you @ATESMO.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Appearance

Goes perfectly with the old

When my shower stopped producing hot water I decided to disassemble the handle system to see if I could find the problem. The seals weren't broken, so there was nothing to see. I then completely disassembled the interior and found that the rubber membrane between the hot and cold air was broken. It was difficult to find an exact replacement, other than that none of them were great. It has all the necessary rubber O-rings and is a perfect replacement. I assume there are more o-rings than you…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Obsolete model

It looks and fits like a Kohler OEM part

It arrived quickly and did the job. Compared to the replaced old part, it looks identical and is immediately tempered again. I was hesitant to buy a refurbished Kohler cartridge because it was too expensive and people complained that it didn't fit. This cartridge could be installed immediately and took 10 minutes to install. It came with all the necessary o-rings, including a larger one. one for the valve itself. There are a few spare gaskets and teflon washers left, probably for other uses.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Minor repair

Great replacement part

I was troubleshooting a shower faucet with water that was too hot/cold. It turned out that the mixing valve was to blame for this problem, so I ordered a new one. It was very easy to install and any do-it-yourselfer would be able to replace this part. You simply turn off the water in your home, drain the lines, remove the bezel, and then unscrew the cartridge to access this device. It is strongly recommended to lubricate the rubber seals with silicone grease. Now reverse the installation…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Will not fit all

Fits Kohler K-304 Rite-Temp Bathtub & Shower Valve

Perfect match for Kohler K-304 Rite-Temp Shower Valve & Faucet Cover 77759, part of the Kohler Coralais Series. The Kohler website has an interactive tool to help you identify your tub/shower valve body so you can order the parts you need. This PB cartridge 500520 was recommended for use with faucet cap 77759 in place of the newer PB cartridge 800820. I recommend watching the installation video for this device. Apply a liberal amount of silicone grease to all o-rings and be careful to install…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Negative

For 20 years I had to change these knots several times. This post-market balancing block made the hot/cold problem even worse than the block I replaced. I installed it in less than a week and had to constantly fight the water in the shower to avoid burning myself from the hot water. I called the faucet manufacturer (Revain won't let me name them) and found I wasted my money buying them. The faucet manufacturer sent me a brand new OEM balancer and faucet cap for free, no questions asked. Stay…

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • There are nuances
