This is part 2 of my 2 part series called “How To Replace A Generic Tub & Shower Cartridge”.
If you haven’t seen How To Replace A Generic Tub & Shower Cartridge part 1, check that out first.
As you can see, the process is pretty straight forward and as a rule these cartridges are easily removed by pulling back on the center brass stem.
The cartridge itself is made up of a few individual components which are replaceable, but based on my past experience I found it more cost effective to replace the entire cartridge.
When Installing the new unit I always lubricate any “O” rings with my silicone lubricant which will aid in removing the cartridge if any repairs have to be made in the future.
Now it’s just a matter of re-installing the trim and you should be good to go. If you have a question about this or any of the videos on this website please drop me a line at info@bobsplumbingvideos.com, I’d love to hear from you.
Until next time…
HAPPY PLUMBING!
