How Do I Install Or Replace A Cartridge?

Cartridges are either threaded into the faucet body or are held in place by a lock nut.

To remove or replace a cartridge, you will need to unscrew the cartridge from the faucet or remove the lock nut using a pair of pliers or adjustable wrenches. Position the tool on the flat sides of the cartridge or lock nut so the threads will not get damaged.
