This article will explain how to install a diverter cartridge for a four-port diverter.

Please note that the images are for reference only. The product shown in this article may differ from yours, but the information below is still relevant.

To install the diverter cartridge, you must:

1. Remove the old cartridge.
2. Install the new cartridge.
3. Test for leaks.

Please Note: Before doing any work on your faucet, please shut off the water supply for the faucet.

Once the water is turned off, you are ready to begin.

Step 1 – Remove the old cartridge

• After you've removed the handle, use a pair of adjustable pliers to remove the base nut by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.

• Hold the stem of the cartridge and pull out until the cartridge is completely removed from the faucet body.

Step 2 – Install the new cartridge

• Locate the locating pins on the bottom of the cartridge and locate the corresponding holes in the faucet body. Insert the cartridge and rotate it until it slides down into place.

• Re-install the base nut with a pair of adjustable pliers. To avoid over tightening the base nut, hand tighten the base nut and then use the adjustable pliers to apply a quarter turn. Approximately 10-14 lbs of torque are required to properly install the base nut.

Step 3 – Test for leaks

• Once all of the parts are re-installed, turn on the water supply for the faucet and let the water run for approximately 10 minutes. If you notice that water is leaking from the ceramic disc cartridge, tighten the base nut and test again.
