repairing a faucet cartridge?
Jun 03, 2007 by lilinate | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
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!

How do you remove a Delta bathtub faucet cartridge?
Aug 02, 2007 by iheartfaye | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I have removed the clear acrylic knob/handle but now do not know how to remove the cartridge. I have removed single stems either hot or cold before but not a stem that controlled both hot and cold. Some articles reference the need of a cartridge puller but they do not go into any greater detail.
Yes, it is by the way a scald guard faucet.
Guy,
I'm honest with you here.
You can easily twist the cartridge body. So be careful.
I go on such calls several times a year where the homeowner starts to unscrew the bonnet and twist the whole thing.
Delta does not have a good design on it and it's weak.
I suggest you get a plumber and watch him do it so you can the next time.
Now if you are talking about the scald gard faucets they are ok. Just pull the chrome cover off, unscrew the chrome retaining ring and pull the cartridge straight out.
The older models , get a plumber.

I cannot get my faucet cartridge back into the housing?
Dec 30, 2008 by Art V | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have a delta shower valve and I replaced the cartridge, but I cannot get the cartridge to go all the way back in to the housing. I do not want to damage it, what should I do?
The cartridge should be well greased with high temp stem grease on the o'rings, for easy install. First, make sure there are no foreign object inside the housing, then place the cartridge inside the housing, aligning the raised notch on the cartridge into the groove on the brass housing. Place the brass nut (threaded ring) over the cartridge, and tighten the ring down while applying steady pressure to the cartridge, making sure the notch and groove align- as you tighten the ring it will pull the cartridge back into the housing- for easier tightening apply stem grease to the threads of the brass nut. Hand tighten, do not torque down with pliers, this is not necessary.

My cartridge faucet leaked so I replaced the cartridges but it still leaks.?
Feb 08, 2009 by Tina | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I could not get the washers and springs out below the cartridge because they are flush with the housing.
Is there an easy way to get these out or do I need a special tool?
Could there be something else wrong with the faucet?
I've been at this a long, long time, it seems, and in all the years of trying to save my customers money by just replacing the bare minimum in parts has usually proven to be a fallacy. What you did was pull out the twist cartridges, replace them and left the seals and springs in the valve body, which really did nothing to help the leak. The seals and springs are the parts that apply pressure to the bottoms of those cartridges to keep the water from flowing out. The fact that they're stuck in the valve body is what the problem is. There's most likely rust, iron, lime, calcium, something in your water that builds up over time to cause this problem, as there is in most locations in the country. You'll need a small screwdriver to put down into the hole in the center of the seal, tip it sideways and pop it and the spring loose and out. When you reinstall new seals, if you do, put some vaseline on them beforehand, it allows them to get some lubrication while in the tight little sleeve hole, so the spring can actually do it's work. I've acutally found that many times, by the time I replace both cartridges and seals and springs, that we could have bought a new faucet with a warranty for just a few dollars more.

I was trying to replace faucet cartridge and ended up breaking the copper pipes to the bathtub.?
Nov 30, 2008 by tifhamer | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
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.
