Your examples are not exhaustive. The one I have is different both in terms of spine, mine is 20, and overall design. Still trying to figure where I could get my hand on one to fix my leak. Failing which I will try changing the washers. Thanks
This video was really educational and allowed me to speak intelligently to the parts suppler I deal with. For a DIYer ordering over the internet, this video is a slice of heaven. Thank you for a much needed tutorial.
Very educational! A family member ordered a complete set online and the diverter had too much stem on the base and no-one from the 2 giants (hd and lows) had any knowledge of the specifics. Was a complete waste of time and of course didn't carry this specific piece. I now have more than enough knowledge to shop the online store. Thank you
Home Dumpo Expo had a lot of import shower valves, tub valves, roman tub valves, as well as faucets. They went belly up and all the aftermarket replacements are not Ca. lead-free compliant. So you find it then need to go to Arizona "one way or another to get it. Of course our actual water from the municipality has more lead in it than any of these parts ever did.
Hi Turbo Tim, I have a dilema with replacing stem cartridge for an old Pegasus Faucet. I know the right part number: 3S-11C and H. The problem is the cap to hold the stem completely crumbled and I am having a difficult time finding someone who actually carries these caps. Without the Caps the stems just shoot right out of the socket when I turn the water on. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
Hello, Those caps are hard to get. If it uses a delta style cap then you might be in luck. Those are available on my site. We will need to get the measurements to see if it will work. www.faucetpartsplus.com
Trying to identify a shower valve for cartridge replacement. Single handle not push pull rotates first cold then hot. Has splines for handle not square
That's only works if you have a hardware store near you that has every part ever made. Otherwise, you may have to order it from the internet. "Revised" The people you take it to have to be knowledgeable about faucet parts. Otherwise, your probably wasting your gas.
That doesn't work. I took my stem cartridge out and took it to 2 hardware stores only to find out they don't carry it nor could they tell me the size so I could go find it from a plumbing supply store, so this method is the only way I could figure out a close enough size.
Tim, Six years ago a family member gave us two upscale, quality bathroom faucet sets for our new house. I was guessing they were not made in the US but lost track of the box they came in. (Despite having installed a number of different faucet sets with cartridges peaders please note not to make the mistake of losing any literature that comes with them if only the manufacturer's name. ) So I was faced yesterday with a leaking epiphany that surely some intelligent and caring American already had all that knowledge AND had taken the time to share it. Mr. Google helped me find Tim who has prepared this extremely well organized, easy to understand, definitive, and packed with lots of helpful hints which are going to save me, and possibly you the reader. A big thumbs up Tim. Jack Davis Sarasota, FL
