Review on πŸ’§ Danco 88200 MX-1 Chrome Cartridge - Perfect for Mixet Single-Handle Faucets by Andrew Frison

Revainrating 5 out of 5

What offer! - Rough Plumbing

This was a great replacement cartridge for an appliance that had been sitting idle for at least twenty years. This is a quality piece. I appreciate the instructions are in English which you can actually read. I looked at a similar part in HD and found one that was almost twice the price and looked like half the quality. Hmm - simple solution. Now I just want to add that some people say to put silicone grease (not petroleum based plumber's grease) on the o-ring before installing it. Well-written instructions don't address this one way or the other. I did it because it made sense. I'm no expert, but I think the "lubrication" of the o-ring caused the temp setting to slide TOO easily. So now I have to hold down the temperature dial while turning the knob that shuts off the water. Otherwise it slides completely to the side when I turn the handle. I would not recommend using any type of lube on the o-ring.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Faulty
