Your detailed description and camera images enabled me to install the 910-030 Pfister stem today after having my water turned off for three days. The only delay was receiving the replacement part. Thank you very much as I was able to install the new part within an hour of receiving it…with the help of your step-by-step instructions. You are a blessing!

Thanks for sharing. It’d been a while since I’ve done that; when you showed the special wrench for removing the valve body I immediately remembered it. Now I just have to find it in my shop.

Do you know the brand and part numbers of the escutcheon plates you used with the knobs? Having issues finding the right size to fit over the stems.

@markbarros8243 16 дней назад

Thanks for the video. But is the valve seat necessary for this ceramic disc type stem?

@clickapro 12 дней назад

Hi Mark! Yes, typically these are necessary. The tub valves like this typically have two seats, one for hot water and one for cold water, that control the flow of water to the tub. Over time, these seats can wear down or loosen, which can cause irregular water temperatures. If the valve seat is removable, you can replace it with a new one. You can tell if a valve seat is removable if it has a slot for a screwdriver, a square hole, or a hexagonal hole. It can be hard to see the seats, so we use a flash light and sometimes our cell phone camera to see the seat. If no seat is installed, one can be added if seat threading is present. Luckily, the valve seats are typically the most affordable part to purchase when repairing these valves.

It would have been nice if you had shown how you removed plastic parts from back end of cartridge. The cartridge should be tightened snugly with a wrench to insure that the washers are positively sealed (not just by hand). The end washer does not move when the faucet is opened or closed.

Mine is seatless as well my pfister valves don’t last long guys at the hardware store says it’s because of the hard water any suggestions

@clickapro 2 года назад

Hard water is tough on them for sure - often on the hot size. One idea to check: How old is your water heater? Maybe it's time to clean it out and put a new anode rod. Or maybe tome to replace the whole water heater.

@shimxininahi8024 Год назад

Is the white guts really made of ceramic or plastic? The one you're using shows rounded edges. The Danco brand is plastic from Home Depot 05850B but not available online for Hawaii or Alaska. I'm wonder why they put plastic ones in our stores here, but not the ceramic ones. It keeps splitting into 2 pieces and lasts for 4-5 mos. 910-030 not stocked and it's replaced by Danco Model 05850B 9H-8 Hot/Cold Stem for Price Pfister Faucets is over priced in store. But anyway video is great.

@clickapro Год назад

Thanks! Glad to have you here. The white piece inside is like a hard plastic. I'm sorry to hear yours is splitting. I had some of the same issue, so the second time i did this, i put in the new seats and was careful to not over-tighten and it has lasted better. Another thing I did was to get a pressure reducer for the whole house. Higher pressure can cause plumbing parts to wear out faster. But adding a pressure reducer is a bit of a bigger project.

@allynfornow Год назад

It will still work if you don’t reverse it yeah?

@clickapro Год назад

Hi, it can still work, but it will be in reverse. So twisting it "on" will feel like turning it "off".

is that an allen wrench you used to get faucet off the shower. What size Allen Wrench. you hade the best video. Men talk too much!😂

@ronaldhemmings2476 2 года назад

Is there a working difference between Pfister Model # 910-030 and Model #910-022 .

@clickapro 2 года назад

Yes, they are different. The 022 is a fair amount shorter than the 030 and has less plastic parts.

@ronaldhemmings2476 2 года назад

Thanks for the info .

May I ask u is this suits for Australia?

@clickapro 6 месяцев назад

Hello, do you have the same Pfister type valve?

@ronaldhemmings2476 Год назад

There is no seat. I replaced the rubber washer an its still leaking?

@clickapro Год назад

Hmm, not sure about if there are no seats. Maybe seats need to be added? Using a small bright flashlight like on a cell phone you can look inside the hole to see if there is a place for seats or if there are rotted seats in the pipe. Another super common issue is over tightening. The rubber is super soft and tears easily with too much tightening. Last thing, compare your new valves to the old side by side to see if there are any differences that might cause an issue.

@chrmnxpnoy 2 года назад

I removed the stem and I think my valve doesn't have a seat 🤔 seems like these also don't need seats

@clickapro 2 года назад

Interesting, yes I think some of the Pfister valves don't have a seat, so perhaps it's a different model. To find out, I used my cell phone with the light on to peer inside. If there is a square ⬛ hole inside, then that's the seat. I hope your project goes well for you 😁

@chrmnxpnoy 2 года назад

@@clickapro you're indeed correct. Only my diverter stem had a seat while my hot and cold stems had no seats. No leaks after replacement of all three stems :)

Sorry to tell you this but you did that all wrong. Those are price Pfister ceramic stems no seat is required and you need to leave this seat out when you put those stems in

@Sandman66 2 года назад

That's not even the right valve

@clickapro 2 года назад

Great point, there are so many Pfister valve varieties. I like to take the old valves out of the wall (turning off water first) and take them with me to the hardware or plumbing store. There I can make sure I get the correct replacement valves. Sometimes the new ones look a little different, so that makes it even tougher. Especially as the stores carry a different brand, usually Danco. But if the valves are the same diameter and length and have the same kind of seating (the way they seal to the water supply lines) and function in the same way, then you've got a good chance at success.
