Review on 🚿 Pfister 974291 Replacement Component by Jeff Pfaff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy repair of a Price-Pfister shower valve.

This part is ideal for use in the Price-Pfister 0X8 valve body. The type of error this part corrects is to reduce or stop the water flowing through the valve. The specific mistake this reviewer had encountered three times previously was reducing or stopping the flow of hot water through the valve. This part serves to maintain a constant temperature of the water leaving the valve (read, shower head) when the pressure of hot or cold water entering the valve fluctuates (read, someone somewhere flushed the toilet and things go wrong). warm up for real!) Personal experience would probably indicate that this compensating feature might not work all that well, but it looks like the compensating mechanism is failing in this part. If you notice a decrease or interruption in water flow, this is what you need. The valve is easy to disassemble and replace the part. Just plug everything in the way it came out and lubricate the o-rings with some plumbing grease when reassembling. Lubrication ensures very smooth rotation of the valve handle and protects the o-rings from premature wear. Have fun.
