Delta shower cartridge

This is a spare part for our Delta shower cartridge. According to the Delta video, the old cartridge should pop out and the new one slide in with no difficulty and it should take about 5 minutes. Well, nothing goes according to plan and this was no exception. We could not remove the old part. It ended up breaking in the middle and we literally had to pick out plastic and metal! After two hours we removed it, but in the end the pipe leaked! So if you try this, make sure you DO NOT separate the…

Pros
  • Very low price
Cons
  • Small parts

Use Plumber's Grease to install

Removing the old cartridge required a sideways bend. I have previously replaced two rp4933 seals but the leak was still there. This time I received a whole cartridge. Use plumber's grease on two small o-rings and one large o-ring. Use a rag/old toothbrush to clean and rinse the holes that the o-rings fit into. *** When a cartridge is installed, it can only go in about 1/8 inch, leaving about 1/8 inch more. Push on the center brass rod (wear gloves) to move it the rest of the way - apparently…

Fix that dripping faucet quick and easy - no plumber required.

This shower valve was so incredibly easy to install I can't believe I put up with this dripping shower faucet for so long. I thought breaking tile with new pipes would be an expensive job, but that's not the case with this dripping faucet. There are easy-to-understand videos on YouTube on how to replace the old device (turn off the water, remove the handle, remove the sleeve, pull out the old block, insert the new block, put on the sleeve, put on the handle, turn on the water - that's it.)…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Some little things

If you continue to drip after replacing it, it may not be the cartridge.

Delta Monitor 13/14 Faucet was leaking about 1 drop per second out of my tub. It uses about 1-2 gallons per day (which I collected and used to refill the toilet bowl after flushing). I ordered this part and carefully identified it by the "Type P" marking on the original cartridge. The replacement was easy and I followed the instructions exactly. Turned on the water supply and lo and behold, it's still dripping. Now, of course, it was only a drip every 10-15 seconds, but it was still dripping. I

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Electrical outlet required

Suitable for OEM replacement. Below is a LONG story. NO TIME FOR A LONG STORY? To boil it down to a SHORT STORY: Ream the body ports and mixer barrel with a 5/32 drill bit and as long as you don't have clogged/clogged lines causing a low flow problem, this will INCREASE flow. I also used an air compressor with a small rubber nozzle and a can of WD40. It took a while and many iterations, but eventually I got rid of all the rust and debris from the lines by letting the WD40 sit and then blowing…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Almost never
