Should this be replaced if it's not leaking? Mine is 17 years old and it's ok but was thinking should I replace it before it breaks (preventive maintenance)? Thank you for the video.
While I am a big believe in preventive maintenance I also have the thought “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” for me the cartridges fall under the latter. If/when it fails it will not be a huge issue or cause damage, the parts are readily available so I don’t see a reason to change personally
@@JACKofallmasterofPLUMB Thanks for the reply. I agree with you. Main reason behind my inquiry was last year the bathroom sink faucet snapped off causing water to shoot up and it a was a mess where I had to shut main water off...My concern is bathtub faucet fail similar when let's say handle breaks off or will the cartridge prevent water from gushing out?
Also inside, behind the cartridge are 2 grooves that hold a small spring and rubber gasket…if those fall out and not put back in then your shower will make a small whistle sound…I did not realize this till I found those pieces on the side of the tub…I put them back and the whistling stopped
Never seen those before. I'll have to look next time.
Only hand tightening on cartridge holding nut?
Yes, nice and snug but no tools are required
@@JACKofallmasterofPLUMB I think the decorative nut cover is to be hand tightened, but the cartridge holding nut itself needs to be tightened with pliers, at least that's how kitchen faucets and bathroom faucets go.
@@sparky9327 100% in the case of faucets. Assuming we are talking about the same part, this retaining ring is smooth chrome. If the intent was to tighten with a tool it would have a means of applying a tool to it. Having replaced several hundred I assure you snug and hand tight will seal this. When these are over tighten they can be a nightmare to remove. The cartridge fits firmly in the rough in with an O ring. The retaining ring is only to prevent it from being pushed forward by water pressure.
@@JACKofallmasterofPLUMB not to mention the deposits that build up around the cartridge and collar so it's a nightmare to pull. The cartridge is held tight with the screwed on ring, the collar that holds pressure on it from the handle that is also screwed on. It's not coming out if all of it is tight.
Cartridge replacement advice should begin with how to identify model number of your faucet and how to find part number of the cartridge. Trying to install wrong cartridge in a wrong faucet won't work no matter how good installation instructions are.
You make a valid point. I will see what I can find and put it in the description. Thanks for pointing that out. Always room for improvement.
Nah.....wing it. You can never have too many trips to store
