VALVE CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT

TOOLS NEEDED
! 3/8 6-POINT SOCKET DRIVER OR

SMALL ”LOCKING GRIP” TYPE PLIERS

! 13/16” WRENCH

PROCEDURE

Remove the valve cover screw with the socket driver or carefully grab the head of the screw with the locking

pliers being careful not to scratch or damage the finish on the end of the valve cover .

Remove the valve cover from the splined end of the valve by pulling in the same direction the valve cover screw

was removed. 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. 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 (make sure the valve is in the closed

position). Tighten the valve accordingly to achieve handle alignment. Replace the valve cover screw with the new

one and tighten lightly, (Hint: placing a piece of paper or plastic sandwich bag over the end of the socket before

pushing it onto the screw-head will help prevent marring the finish on the screw) DON’T use pliers to tighten the

screw.
