No, only if it is grooved, look in the opening with a light to make sure the seat is smooth
Replacing Kohler Mix Kit Cartridge in a Bathtub/shower faucet. If you have trouble with no hot, or only hot/only cold try replacing just the ...
Water trickles from tub shower faucet. Is cartride gone bad? I have 1700 series delta faucet. If the problem is with cartridge, where do I find information how to do it. Delta website gives very little info. Please help
Delta has a replacement policy with Home Depot or Loews. Call them. It is just a matter of you taking the cartridge with you and they will give you a new one. Free.
It is as simple as that.
I have done it a few times myself.
Is there anything I can do w/o a plumber? I have the water turned off to the whole house and don't really want to leave it off until tomorrow.
Unless you can access the rear and plug off the supply pipe(s), you are gonna be without water until you get a plumber!
Can't say for sure, but you are probably gonna lose some wall to gain access, so you could go ahead and open up the wall to get to the pipes. You could cut them off and solder caps, or even crimp the ends and solder if you are capable of that.
My kitchen faucet seemed to be malfunctioning. (But, it would shut off).
I replaced the cartridge. All, seems well except when I tighten the screw that holds handle on, a thin stream of water starts to flow. And, I can't get it to stop fully with the faucet handle.
Is it possible that I put the cartridge too far down in the tube?
Is there someone else wrong?
You probably did force the cartridge down too far.
With the cartridge down too far, the handle is not able to shut off the water.
Just pull it back up a bit.
I am replacing the cartridge on a single shower faucet, but the old cartridge broke inside the pipe, now I can't remove it to install the new one?
There are a couple things you could try...
A) see if you can get the rest of the cartridge out with a needle-nosed pliers. If you can't,
B) have an assistant turn the water on very briefly. The water pressure should eject the broken cartridge. (Just make sure your not near the faucet when the water gets turned on as the part will be ejected at high speed.)
Good luck!
Escondido Homes and Tips: Replacing a Shower Tub Faucet? Tips You ...
Is the constant drip from the shower annoying you at night? Fix it. Replacing shower tub faucets is easy with the tips given below.
The faucets come in various styles and sizes. The old ones used to have washers and newer ones have cartridges in them which control hot and cold water. If there is a leak it will be due to these. They start leaking or dripping when washers become stiff and corroded. Water pressure also hastens this process.
So when you remove these take the faucets to the hardware store and get them replaced according to the correct size. Take an exact centre to centre measurement.
Keep the correct tools with you. Basically you require two pipe wrenches one for holding and another for turning. For square or hex nuts open end wrenches are ideal as they have smooth jaws. If the pipe is of small diameter then you need to have vise grip wrench.
