VALVE CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
TOOLS NEEDED
SMALL ”LOCKING GRIP” TYPE PLIERS
1/8” HEX KEY WRENCH
PROCEDURE
Wrap the handle with paper several layers thick to protect the finish, loosen with pliers and remove.
Using the 1/8 hex key wrench loosen the set screw 1 or 2 turns.
Remove the valve cover from the splined end of the valve by pulling away from the faucet body. It may be
necessary to “work” the valve cover off of the valve by wiggling up and down while pulling.
Unscrew the valve cartridge and remove. If the Adapter sleeve stays screwed into the valve body ,
replace only the valve cartridge. If the Adapter sleeve unscrews with the valve, replace both. Use a little dish soap
to lubricate the #20 O-ring . On some valve bodies you might need to push-in while turning to get the threads
to catch. Insert the new cartridge into the body and tighten until snug.
Slide the valve cover over the valve spline to check alignment of the handle (screw the handle in a couple of turns
and make sure the valve is in the closed position). Tighten the valve accordingly to achieve handle alignment.
Replace the valve cover all the way onto the valve stem and remove the handle, tighten the set screw securely,
replace the handle and tighten lightly using paper to protect the finish.
