Very good instructions. Since this is intended for us non-plumbers, you might want to mention to cover the drain to prevent any screws or washers from falling in there.
"make sure that little red dot faces down" is the most helpful advice in this video. The instructions that came with the new valve said to install with the dot facing up and that is absolutely wrong. Dave the plumber knows best. I followed the instructions from the manufacturer and didn't listen to Dave because the instructions were in black and white and were straight from the source. Well, I had to take it all apart and put that little red dot facing down which was a huge pain in the butt since the water cut off is 3 flights of stairs down and in a tight dirty crawl space. This is my long winded way of saying LISTEN TO DAVE and Thank You for this great tutorial.
Excellent video, but a few comments which may be helpful. 1) To save money you can simply repair the Mixit valve. The problem is usually the valve gets sticky from the grease (oil) used on it mixed with calcium build up over time. He actually uses a little grease on his new valve. Use WD-40 instead which is fish oil based. 2) Grease and/or oil over time will degrade the rubber O-Rings. This will cause the leak. Again, using WD-40 or better yet use K-Y Jelly which is glycerine based will allow the cartridge to slide in easily but will not degrade the O-Rings and/or let calcium build up on the O-Rings. 3) After pulling the Eustachian off simply clean it with quad ought (0000) steel wool. Similarly clean the handle with 0000 steel wool. Do NOT use 3, 2 or 1 ought steel wool as they are too grainy and will scratch the chrome. 4) Use WD-40 and a paper towel or soft cloth to clean the Cartridge. Get rid of the gunk. You can simply unscrew it to get into the interior of the cartridge and clean all components. Just remember (or use his good video) on how to put the components back together. Use an old toothbrush to help you clean it.. this combined with the WD-40 will make it operate smoothly once again. 5) Replace the old O-Rings with new ones. You can order a large assortment from Harbor Freight Tools for $5.99. Here's the link: www.harborfreight.com/225-piece-nitrile-o-ring-assortment-67677.html 6) Also use the 0000 Steel Wool to clean (burnish) the Bonnet Nut. Frankly I was surprised he didn't do this and also the wall behind the Eustachian was left dirty. However he did fill the hole in the wall with Plumbers Putty which was good. Again, use WD-40 or K-Y Jelly on the threads to make the nut go on easier. Clean the threads with WD-40 and your old toothbrush prior to putting it on. Note: WD-40 was invented in San Diego for the aircraft industry. Aircraft manufacturers and the military needed something to displace water and keep components from rusting. WD means Water Displacement and #40 was the 40th set of ingredients they tried which worked.
Excellent instruction, much thanks! The way you slowly showed the removal process in it's entirety was most helpful, as I had a problem. I will explain: After I removed the first Set screw, the Volume Control Handle would not come loose. As a result, I could not access the Temperature Control Handle or it's Set screw. So I turned the Volume Control handle all the way open, and that gave me access to the head of the Bonnet Nut. I realized that if I could work that Bonnet Nut, it all should slip off. The Cartridge just slips in and out, and not having access to the Temperature Control Handle Set screw should not matter. So I used my Crescent Wrench on the Bonnet Nut - and sure enough everything, including the Cartridge, came out! That frozen Volume Control Handle was stuck to the Cartridge head, and loosening the Bonnet Nut forced everything out, all in one piece. I had already loosened the Set screw of the Flange, so it slipped off with everything. I already had new replacement hardware, so I was not interested in trying to get all that stuff apart. Tossed that, and installed new! Good to go! Thanks again! Also showing how the Cartridge should be set up before installing was great. My washers were not in proper order and it was not closed all the way - that would have got me! Slow, methodical, and explaining what to do and why of almost every step is the best way to make a DIY video for us uninformed of the subject matter. Strong work!
Thanks! You did a great job. I watch TH-cam videos all the time and there are so many bad ones that are way longer than they need to be and or don't show exactly what they are doing. You didn't waste any time and were very clear about every step. I also appreciate slowly showing the parts and zooming in on the entire process. Thank you so much!
Great video! Thanks so much for taking time to share this with us! Another good habit whenever doing such jobs is to cover the drain with a towel just to make sure nothing that drops falls into the drain. :)
Followed the video step by step and worked like a charm only thing i did different was to tight the nut by hand only and had no leak was so ever when i was done.
This is by far the best video showing the mixet stem replacement, so thank you very much. You just saved this 50 yr old woman a couple hundred bucks! I too have a question regarding this...are the volume control and temp control supposed to work independently of each other? When I turn my temp control the volume control also turns.
You remind me of Aaron Paul, better known as Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad! These are fantastic videos. You are so meticulous, explain everything, and have great camera & lighting. I've learned quite a few helpful obscure tips by watching. I'd love to see you do one on updating 80's condo side by side laundry closet to space efficient stack setup. My connections are all over the place, and the dryer vent is squashed. Because of the way the gas, water, drain, & vent stick out of the wall, depth of w/d is too limited. There has to be a more elegant solution. I believe you are an artist with plumbing and the perfect master plumber for this job. A million thanks & please keep them coming!
I got a very generic Mixet cartridge at the suggestion of a Home Depot person. It was difficult to put in and once in, the hot/cold handle was almost impossible to turn. I watched another video and that guy said to use Mixet MXT07. When I finally got the other part pulled out, it was completely mangled. I took it back and got the Mixet MXT07. It now works as it should.
Video helped me out. I used a mallet to lightly tap the tip of the valve into the plumbing. I was to weak to push it in and i was moving the whole plumbing inside the wall while pushing. It worked out, maybe I was supposed to open the valve all the way first and that's why it was too hard to push in by hand in retrospect?
Thank you for the great film. Our Mixet in the showertub started to drip, so I need to repair or replace the cartridge there. Thought I replaced it once (like 7 years ago) before myself I forgot the details, it was very helpful to see this film. May I ask you, Mixet cartridges for showertubs, are they all the same, or they differ? Thank you again.
Thanks for this great video! I have the same Manufacturer however my temperature control handle is all metal and does not have that screw seen on the face at the top in line with the handle. On my handle it is directly behind the handle pointing straight up in the direction of the handle. You can just angle a screwdriver behind the handle to get it.
Also, just in case your house is plumbing incorrectly, with the hot water coming in behind the wall to the right and the cold to the left, you can insert the cartridge upside down (with the red dot facing up), and this corrects the situation and allows the faucet to work correctly.
Thank you so much for showing this and explaining the details! We had been struggling to get this replaced and you showed us just what to do. Everything fixed in a short time.
once complete, when you turn eater on with volume knob and go to move the temperature knob, are both supposed to move at the same time? I thought they would have opererated independently of one another. I though I had dome something wrong during installation..thanks!
What is the part number I should get if buying from home depot ? Another video says to get MXT07 but I want a second opinion. I also saw Danco Cartridge for Mixet Bath Faucets #88200 on ebay. Which is the correct one or any of them is ok ? thanks !
I have that similar fixture, I just want to take it off the fixture so I can spray it black matte, nothings wrong with the valve or anything do I still have to shut the water off in the house just to takeoff that fixture? Thank you
Hi there! Thanks so much for the video it is very helpful. I recently replaced this cartridge due to a leaky faucet. Prior to the change, the water pressure was fine, it was just the leak that wouldn't stop and the volume control just kept spinning. After replacing the cartridge, the leak has stopped, but by water pressure coming out of the faucet and the shower has decreased almost by 50%. Would you have any recommendations as to why this is and how to fix it?
what cartridge did he use? the old one looks jst like mine and im having problems finding a replacement. so far all id tried are hard to turn and low water pressure.
Thanks for this. Just installed the Mixit kit from Lowes. Got it all put together but now the shower head leaks some. What might be the chief causes of this?
This little th-cam.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
MXT07 is not working . It goes in 50% but not up to the ring , mine is pretty old and I am assuming pre 1968 version was used. I opened the existing one took it to Home Depo - the difference is so fine that they could not realize that MXT07 would not work. What is the model number for pre 1968 version? It will be really helpful
I'm trying to replace the valve and have many a problem going on. First the pipe coming out of the wall seems to have part of the thread eroded and it seems too long or the the cover shaft is too short. The cover shaft doesn't go all the way to the face plate. This is my 2nd attempt as I was too overzealous & broke the last stem making the temp handle spin round & round. Also this set of parts seems to have the opposite directions of the last one even though they were purchased from the same place & same manufacturer i.e. face the red dot up??? When I put everything back together, it seems that the temp control handle will only work within a quarter range to the left side instead of moving left to right on the bottom. The final kicker is that the on off handle won't turn off unless I loosen the screw every time & it is very difficult almost impossible to turn off & on. As the daughter of a longtime journeyman plumber, I guess I feel I should have no problem with this. Any suggestions besides finding a man to do the job??? Haha You make it look so easy! Thanks for any help!
great video.. i did everything (i think) as stated, but after a couple month when the water is on, its impossible to adjust the heat without breaking plastic
My mixet shower stem does not go into the pipe easy. And when I force it it bends the brass washer I between the plastic white thing. It don't stop it from leaking
I followed these instructions exactly, and the hot/cold was reversed when I was done. I tried flipping the red dot 180° with no luck. Then I tried flipping the back part of the cartridge (with the O ring) 180° WRT the white part. Still reversed. ???
I just replaced the valve , with red dot up per instructions. But my new valve would not go in the last inch, I had to tap it in lightly with a hammer, I’m not sure why it was so tight in there.🤔
I hope you are available because when I put the valve in and the part where you put the the little skirt at the hot and cold cap and you say to turn it clockwise and that you could turn turn off turn it off turn off the valve and then you could test test and turn on the water but when I turn it it don't turn clockwise it goes Its counterclockwise what am I doing wrong?
Where did you get a replacement stem with the brass mixing tip? I bought a "Promaster Pro" (pm)P™ brand Cartridge for Mixet at Home Depot (back of the packaging says KTC Slams, Inc West Grove, PA), and it DOES NOT FIT. It has a white poly mixing tip and it is 0.748" dia., which won't fit into the valve body. The old brass mixing tip is 0.733".
installed mines perfectly but not getting as much hot water now. the water is just warm and hot enough, before i replaced it the water was super hot when i adjust the nozzle.
Having a ton of frustration with both of our mixits the H/C wants to turn when I turn the volume .... they dont act very independent. seem to hangup on each other
Hi Danny, I replaced my shower valve with your help, thank you. I have a question though. One the back of the mixet stem box OEM # MS5ATPK, it says that the red mark should be pointed up but in your video you say it's pointed down. I don't know if it makes a difference or not. Also, do you have any tips for making the temperature adjuster to turn more easily? I thought by changing it out it would turn easier but it's still very hard to adjust. Thank you for the informative video, I could not have done it without you!
+Amy Mandarino If you look at the stem @3:06 you will notice that the brass piece in the back on the right of the video has a slot cut into it.This slot must face down when you reinstall the valve.if not the cold and hot will be reversed.
I followed the steps to do this same install, but now the hot & cold are reversed. Any idea what I did wrong or how to fix this? It was fine with the old cartridge

Great video! Thanks so much for taking time to share this with us! Another good habit whenever doing such jobs is to cover the drain with a towel just to make sure nothing that drops falls into the drain. :)
The red dot in the manufacturer’s instruction is up.. And UP is printed embossed too.hope this will help too.
Best video I’ve seen on replacing shower valves! Thank you, now I’m confident I can do it myself, tomorrow 🙂.
The very best instruction on u-tube! Did not know how to make the adjustment after rebuilding the old cartridge.
Thanks.
Very helpful. I actually did it myself, my husband was impressed 😊
We would like to see videos about how to maintain and repair gas and electric water heaters. Thanks for your help. You saved us lots of money!

Hi Danny, is there a kit that comes with a new handle & volume control knob?
What kind of grease is used on the valve stem? Great video, THANK YOU!!!
Great tutorial. Thumbs up for a big help on a terrible shower valve!
Also, just in case your house is plumbing incorrectly, with the hot water coming in behind the wall to the right and the cold to the left, you can insert the cartridge upside down (with the red dot facing up), and this corrects the situation and allows the faucet to work correctly.
Perfect! I loved the attention to detail. Thanks!
How do you know which cartridge to buy before you disassemble the old one?
Hello. If the nut is stuck and won't turn to remove the stem, what you recommend?
Thank you very much sir! I used your video which helped me today, Monday 🙁. Of course, it happened on a Monday. Lol, now I may shower.
Thank you so much for showing this and explaining the details! We had been struggling to get this replaced and you showed us just what to do. Everything fixed in a short time.
Your video title reads how to "repair" , but you replaced and that isn't the same thing.
Thanks! Nice detail I replaced two showers today. The person before me used hard putty, it stuck the hot/cold decorative cover on but good!
once complete, when you turn eater on with volume knob and go to move the temperature knob, are both supposed to move at the same time? I thought they would have opererated independently of one another. I though I had dome something wrong during installation..thanks!
Thanks for the great instructions--glad to see a video for repairing older plumbing fixtures.
Can I replace this handle and stem with a different type of handle and stem
Thanks so much for this video! Can you please provide the part number for the Mixet Cartridge replacement?
What is the part number I should get if buying from home depot ? Another video says to get MXT07 but I want a second opinion. I also saw Danco Cartridge for Mixet Bath Faucets #88200 on ebay. Which is the correct one or any of them is ok ?
thanks !
I have that similar fixture, I just want to take it off the fixture so I can spray it

Hi, thanks for VDO. What is the model cartridge and number?
Thanks for an Awesome instructional video!

Ditto. Same here. Home Depot guy handed it to me. Looks the same- does not fit.
Excellent video! Thanks for this
Thanks for the detailed and informative instructions. Hopefully I can do this myself.
installed mines perfectly but not getting as much hot water now. the water is just warm and hot enough, before i replaced it the water was super hot when i adjust the nozzle.
If you place a rag over the drain, those little phillips head screws won't "disappear" if you drop it. Great video.
Why should the red dot be facing down? The instructions say it should be up.
Good video. Thanks for posting.
Just installed my cartridge but I'm only getting warm water. No hot water. Any solution?
Thanks.. Saved me a bunch of time.
What should I do if I installed everything but when I turn to on position no water comes out
what do you screw the escutheon to
Having a ton of frustration with both of our mixits the H/C wants to turn when I turn the volume .... they dont act very independent. seem to hangup on each other

the back on the right of the video has a slot cut into it.This slot must
face down when you reinstall the valve.if not the cold and hot will be
reversed.
Great video however my Mixet looks a little different in how the flange comes off and there are 2 screws that hold the bonnet on.
Great job 😊 I now know what to do! ❤❤❤❤
Omg!!! Thank you sooo much! You saved me a bunch of money
Thanks so much! This saved me. Much appreciated 🙏🏽
Idk what kind of super strength people have to get that screw off but it ain’t happening for me lol
For some odd reason I can't get hot water I have the same knob u have it only gets warm not hot now it's just cold
Are there better quality metal shower faucet set I can upgrade/convert from this mixset easily?
This is the best one ever made.. Everything after this is pure shit.. Nothing Home Depot or Lowes sells will last 40+ years like these mixets do.
1:26 Thank you, such a life-saver.
I followed the steps to do this same install, but now the hot & cold are reversed. Any idea what I did wrong or how to fix this? It was fine with the old cartridge
Flip the cartridge 180°
replaced the cartridge but now no water comes out. what I'd do wrong?
Any tips on the pre-1968 shower valve replacement?
+thwarted4c same exact method except it is the pre-1968 cartridge you use
Thanks, I had a stem with a snap ring that obviously wasn't going to work in a smooth cylinder, but then I found the right part.
Great vid man. Thank you
When I turened on the water the cold and hot water were opposite what went wrong,how can I fix it
Flip the cartridge upside down and reinstall
what brand is the shower kit and the shower valve?
Mixet
Nicely done!
I replaced this mixet cartridge for a new one(same model). After 2 months it started leaking now it's worse than it was. It's so annoying.
How do you remove Bonnet Nut if it is stuck?
