Questions and answers about faucet cartridges
Author:
What does the faucet cartridge do?
The faucet cartridge is a plastic piece in the faucet that controls water flow. Worn faucet cartridges or rubber O rings often lead to leaks. By swapping in replacement parts, your faucet won't leak at the base or around the handles anymore. Replacing a faucet cartridge is a plumbing fix you can do in less than an hour.
How do I know if my faucet cartridge is bad?
Signs that a faucet cartridge needs repair are water dripping from the spout, difficulty in adjusting the water temperature, hot water entering cold water outlets like toilet supply lines and inadequately heated water at some faucets.
What is the difference between a faucet valve and faucet cartridge?
In most instances, a stem is used in two-handle faucets, one for the cold water and one for the hot water. A faucet cartridge is used in faucets that control both the hot and cold water through one handle.
How do I know what faucet cartridge I need?
Use a caliper or ruler and measure the faucet cartridge. Do this by measuring from the base to the tip (from seat to splines). Pay attention to the length tier of your faucet cartridge (Lengths range from 1–12).
What happens when a faucet cartridge fails?
Faucet and faucet cartridge failures are generally the result of a rubber O ring inside the faucet or valve having dried out or passages in the cartridge have become blocked. A failure can result in a leaky faucet a shower that will not allow the hot water to flow.
