Be careful! on cartridges

For an incomparable Delta model! Be careful when you pull out the inside of the lock, it may fall out due to the water pressure. And it can fall between the walls, be extra careful! Otherwise it worked great!

Pros
  • High quality workmanship
Cons
  • Some problems

Check valve not included

Comments and ratings on this product are very confusing. Many of them say that the item comes with a check valve, while many of them say that it doesn't come with a check valve. I just ordered it here in June 2019 and the cartridge did not come with a check valve. I will order it now. If you can somehow edit the comments to indicate that the item does not have a check valve I really think that would be of great help to people considering ordering this.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Almost never

This new design is different from the old one, but it works.

This new cartridge design RP70538 differs from the old design. I was skeptical at first and a bit nervous that it might not work with my faucet, but I was glad it worked as my shower faucet had been leaking badly for the last few days and I needed it like yesterday. However, my plumber mentioned that he didn't need to use the Hue Greenish top (I uploaded photos of the old cartridge). Due to the urgency I had great Prime delivery. Came within 2 days.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power

Valve assembly incomplete

I ordered this valve to replace the one that froze and cracked last winter. The illustration shows both parts of the pressure compensation cartridge. I assumed the assembly pictured was what I got. That's why I ordered this part. I only received the pressure equalization cartridge, not the check valve shown in the picture. If I knew, I would try to order both parts. Luckily the other part I didn't get wasn't affected by the hanging and works with the part I got. In addition, the item arrived…

Pros
  • Doping 🔥
Cons
  • Expensive

Does not match regardless of part number.

Our original part cracked after a particularly cold winter that caused frost. It took some time but finally I found this part. The product number matches exactly and everything looked fine as far as I could tell. Was excited as it was very difficult to find at first. Our bathroom has been under construction for a while, but everything is finally installed and it's time to attach the handle. This is not a game. The handle connects differently. I hope I can figure out how it works without buying…

  • Cool product

Broken valves RP70538

Ordered one of these RP70538 cartridges. The cartridge is made of plastic and has a top and bottom that must be locked at the factory. A latch didn't click on mine. I tried locking it by sliding the two sections by hand but they wouldn't lock. I tried installing it into the valve body just to see if the seat ring compression would hold it, but due to a defect the cartridge was not seated properly. I sent the Revain cartridge back and got another one. He had exactly the same defect. So both were

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

DOES NOT SUPPLY WITH A NON-RETURN VALVE - excellent otherwise

I had a problem where sometimes the hot water in the shower wasn't working and the switch was dripping. After disassembling it many times, getting a partial repair, and then doing it all over again, I decided the cartridge was bad. After several visits to hardware stores and buying faulty cartridges, I bought these. The cartridge I received was manufactured 6 months ago. , and the updated system is displayed. (additionally the building was 2-3 years old) You can see the differences in my…
