Description of 💧 Pfister 9743210 Pressure Balanced Valve Cartridge Sub Assembly: Black - Efficient Water Pressure Control

This OEM (original equipment manufacturer) pressure balance cartridge 974-3210 can be used with 0X8, VB8, JV8, and JX8 valve assemblies. This cartridge features ceramic disc technology and can be used with the legacy deep cast valve bodies using the included adapter. The adapter is not required for valve bodies manufactured after 2015. Product not compatible with acrylic knob 940-240, which requires the 974-042 cartridge. Please see compatibility chart for further details. Perma Balance technology provides reliable temperature control and helps prevent hot or cold surges. High temp limit stopper sets a maximum heat limit and helps prevent scalding; must be set during installation. This cartridge can be used as a replacement for the older two-piece models illustrated in the line drawing. Sold individually; ASME certified.

Good luck trying to find a handle that fits

price Pfister does not make a handle that fits this valve. You have 2 options. Buy a brass adapter from Revain, price Pfister #970-077 (good luck trying to find one at a large department store or your local hardware store), or you can buy a handle that will fit close and use a Dremel/Carbide Bit to enlarge socket on handle.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • expensive

Works great except I can't find the right pen

This cartridge fits and works great except I can't find a Price Pfister or third party pen that fits. The old barrel with the knob was a little smaller. I ended up having to bore out the barrel and enlarge the opposing slots to fit. It's not ideal, but it works. The recommended part number when searching another handle results in a dead end search.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Big Improvement: Faucet Valves

This is a significant improvement over the old plastic threaded valve. I have an old one that has fallen apart and if you have to hire a plumber or if it's in a house you have to come to fix it the small savings on the cheaper one isn't worth it. Regardless, the old style can break over time, and it's cheaper to spend a little more than one that may need to be replaced all over again.

Pros
  • Consistent Test Results
Cons
  • New Competitors

Fixed hot water issue

The originally installed shower handle leaked cold water into the hot water line. Pressure equalization value failed. The house is only 4 years old. Basically our hot water went above 110 degrees when the water heater was set to 140. This solved the problem, we have very hot water again. Easy installation if you are a handy person. Hope this one lasts longer. I bought a second one just in case.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Fits Pfister Pice 17196-0100G perfectly

This Pfister Price cartridge has a versatile look and fits 6 different types of faucets. Just installed in 17196-0100G from 10/04/04 and no changes. Includes instructions with drawings of 6 different matching cartridges (e.g. this is what the old one looks like, see page 4) and common difficulties (use cartridge with adapter or scrap in the mould). Very easy and helpful.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Rough piping solid

I just installed this replacement valve and it works great. The old one is two piece, must be old design and I have to replace it every 2-3 years. After I install this pressure balanced valve, hot and cold water is stronger than before. According to the manufacturer, this Pfister 9743210 can help solve the problem of water pressure imbalance and YES. It helps. So far I haven't had any problems with it and I will fix it before winter comes.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Crumpled

Quick, easy and affordable

The faucet handle was difficult to turn and made an awful noise when the water was turned on. Google determined it was a cartridge. Couldn't find a manufacturer's part number but knew it was a phister. This one looked like a seizure, so it went on. 5 minute install with help from my daughter to stand at the water barrier in case my plumbing skills aren't up to scratch. Walked in with no problems, no leaks, problem fixed. The price was comparable to the big stores but of course with the…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Not bad

Great original part!

Arrived 4 days earlier than expected - amazing! Installed in 20 minutes. First I turned off the plumbing, removed the panel, unscrewed and removed the handle, unscrewed the 4 Phillips head screws, removed the old cartridge, then removed the gray extension before installing the new one to ensure the replacement part was a snug fit. Then I installed the part, fixed it with a metal plate from the old part with 4 screws, tested it by turning on the water supply, attached a decorative plate and a…

Pros
  • High marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
