Excellent video❤

Do they make repair kits with gaskets & "O"-rings?

[@dbf70]

How can you tell what model cartridge you have? That’s my big problem I don’t know which one to get.

[@leivs221]

Hello, I was replacing my shower cartridge, but I dropped the black plastic ring show around 1:33. I couldn't find any replacement parts for this, so I wanted to ask if this is an important part of the faucet that I would have to replace.

[@rcc8086]

I did these steps exactly and now my faucet is leaking from the handle - From the white valve extension

[@kevinkinne4122]

Which handles are compatible with this cartridge?

[@p_louis]

hmm...the white plastic ring at 0:57, for me it's on the other end, touching the big round metal plate. And the collar it's on faces the other way.

I opened mine and it does not have the black plastic ring but it has the screw holes. Is this normal? Thanks.

[@SimpleDIYMedia]

Yes that's fine. Perhaps yours didn't come with one.
