I've got a single-handle Price Pfister shower valve with the 17196-A number. Behind the handle is a part number of 0100G. It doesn't provide hot water any longer; It's just chilly. It's connected to a wall valve with the numbers SHR 17196 ST on it. Is this 9740420 cartridge compatible with my printer?
I also wanted to confirm that this is a suitable replacement for the 28000-series. 100 I was in possession of a 28000-word manuscript. As a seamless replacement for the 0100, this 9740420 model performed admirably. Just keep in mind that the bolt hanger plate with the four screws, as well as the silver screw that hangs off the white nose, are not included with this replacement part.

It completes the task for which it was created. The flex in the plastic construction isn't my favorite feature. It simply does not have the same solid feel as the old cartridge it replaces. Before finishing the assembly, make sure to adjust the temperature limit ring. A pair of needle nose pliers applied to the small tab on the inside of the ring can easily pull the black ring around the stem out. Counterclockwise, turn the limit ring. To make the maximum temperature warmer, turn the knob counterclockwise, and to make it cooler, turn the knob counterclockwise. My shower was almost too cold due to the default setting on my installation.
a single individual's perspective I have an old two-piece tub/shower faucet that needs to be replaced. after approximately ten minutes It has failed to stop water flow for the past 15 years (i. e. When the switch was turned off, it leaked. When I couldn't find an exact replacement part, I contacted Price Phister, who informed me that the two-piece design had been discontinued, but that they now had a new one-piece design (974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974-974 042), which was a perfect match. Because of excessive rotational force, the one-piece design failed after about three years. It was replaced with a one-piece design, but the rotational force was still excessive. When I called Price Phisher, they informed me that production on the two-piece design had resumed. The two-piece design (p. ) was ordered and installed. 974- 291 & 971- 250) and the rotational force returned to normal (approximately 1 inch). lb).
After about ten years, the tub faucet in one of my bathrooms started dripping slowly and annoyingly. I dismantled the faucet in search of a faulty o-ring. It could be a ring, a broken part, or something else. To my untrained, amateur eyes, everything appeared to be in good working order. I even used CLR on all the parts because Google suggested that was the source of the leak. As a last resort, I decided to replace the entire cartridge rather than calling a plumber. I couldn't find the ones I needed at either of the national hardware chains where I live, so I ordered them from Amazon and was very pleased with the price. br>When they arrived, it was simple to swap out the old for the new. The leak was immediately stopped! I'm very pleased with the product; in fact, this is the second one I've bought because another bathroom had the same problem and I knew what to do right away. If you have a slow drip, simply replace the cartridge to save time.
We couldn't get hot water because we didn't have enough. This cartridge from Price Pfister performed admirably. We didn't have hot water, at least not consistently or for long periods of time. Unlike older units, which were two pieces, this one is a single unit. Before placing an order, double-check that you know what unit you have by part number. Simply turn off the water main, open all of the faucets in the house to let the water drain out, and then turn it back on. If you drop any screws while disassembling the old unit, make sure to cover the drain. Simply note the old unit's location and ensure that the new unit is installed in the same manner. It's a very simple fix. You can save $175 by not hiring a plumber. For $250, you can take on this project on your own. Here is a thought: If you're having trouble getting hot water in the shower, check the faucets in the kitchen and bathroom to see if they're working. Mineral deposits and debris blocking the hot water passage are the most common causes of lack of hot water, so if they're that way, you know the bath faucet is probably broken. To clean out the unit, a plumber's trick is to soak it in vinegar for 24 hours, but given the unit's low cost, it's probably best to just replace it. The best part was that it arrived at my door in just two days. I would have paid $30 - $40 if I had gone to a local plumbing store. What's the difference between $40 and $24? I adore Amazon!.
I rarely write negative reviews, and the Pfister shower fixture we purchased at Lowe's is one of my favorites. This cartridge, on the other hand, is of shoddy construction. When I had to replace the cartridge, we had been in this house for almost six years. It was only discharging cold water at the time. The one I took out was a two-piece unit that felt sturdy. This one was all plastic and felt cheap because it was a one-piece design. We are back to having cold water after less than six months. I'm going to buy an aftermarket valve because it's probably made in the same factory as the Pfister valve. The Essential Values cartridge is what I'm looking for.
I recommend this model over the newer one because the newer model is made up of two parts, and the space between them (in my case) created a hydro-static pressure. turbulence, which resulted in the reproduction of an obnoxious high-pitched whistle and a long-term increase in my water bill. Simply put, the newer model should not be purchased. br>br>In comparison to the more advanced model, I recommend this cartridge because the new model is made up of two parts, and the space between them caused turbulence, which caused a very annoying high-frequency hum, as well as an increase in my water bill over time. There are only a few words to describe it. I'm not going to buy the most recent model.
Hard water tends to shorten the life of these valves, so this is a simple DIY project. This is the second one I've replaced with no problems. This is how I replaced it: 1) Shut off the house's water supply. 2) Turn on the current valve to release any residual pressure before disassembling it. 3) Purchase a new unit to replace the one that is defective. Final Thoughts. br>br> Before installing the new valve assembly, make sure to inspect the valve casing. I've noticed that the old O-type has been replaced by the new O-type. Rings will adhere to the casing's interior. To get them back, use needle nose pliers.
Our shower would occasionally run out of hot water, so we replaced the old valve with this one, which solved the issue. It was much less expensive than hiring a plumber, and it only took about 10 minutes to set up. I disconnected the house's main water supply, removed the shower handle, removed the trim plate, and then removed the four screws from the old valve, which had just slipped out. I replaced the old value with the new one and reused the old valve's metal washer. br>It now functions flawlessly.
