Finally enjoying the one shower in the house we never used before because of your video!
Thanks for the info! I fixed my shower and tub today thanks to you.
I’m so glad to hear that Are you a subscriber yet ? Good luck!!
Im going to do this job tommorow for my client....hope it goes well...thanks bro
Good luck!!! buy two sets. just in case. Let me know how it goes.
Thank you Alex. Excellent and complete guide!
Thank you 🙏
Great video. Do you also use plumbing grease on the washers?
Hello, yes!! Please do it. I forgot this time. Thanks a lot.
Unfortunately, the new mixer I have does not show hot or cold side. I can’t tell because when it came out, it just fell out.
yep. thats also an assembly grease where it holds the washers in place as you push the cartridge. chances of success are greater if the little grease capsule that comes in the packaging is used
Interesting note: the back of the unit has ovals instead of circles. I called Koehler as this seemed liked it wouldn’t work. She assured me it would and that many plumbers have called with the same question.
Installed and no issues. Thank you.
Im glad it worked for you. Thanks for your post.
Not only that. The new one has a rounded top piece of plastic that seems like it would cause problems. I guess it doesn't. I have had problems with leaks if it's not on perfectly.
Thank you. Your video help to replace both parts in my faucet
I’m so glad !!!
Thank you for the information.
The problem is that the splined end of the spindle has broken off, rendering the handle useless. I think, fairly sure, that the valve is either GP500520 or GP800820. The instructions that I have, say remove 2 screws holding the chrome wall fitting and unscrew the valve handle. There is no threaded Nut or Collar, only a chromed metal sleeve that spins freely, but does not unscrew anything. It says to pull off the chrome wall fitting complete with the handle, but I cannot move it. I can still use the shower, by turning the piece that the handle used to connect to. Any ideas how to open up this valve??? please!!
Great Video. Thank you for sharing
If my hot and cold water inlet positions are reversed (i.e. cold on the left), should I flip/rotate the Pressure-Balancing piece or flip/rotate the actual mixer valve?
Yes. That's what was wrong with ours.
What BPU and collar replaces the old 737 K NA AA, brass 3/4 componets. it is a nitemare. The existing one have not pressure at all. Hot water is slow but not cold water.
It is a nice piece but a lot to desire
Tks
paisa! thank you hermano!
Merci beaucoup Mr

Excellent video. This is exactly the information I needed. --- thanks for the upload. ---

Very helpful thank you
Thank you Alex. It worked just liked you described.
Im glad to hear that. FYI. I have another channel in Spanish "Alex the handyman en Espanol". Just so you know. Peace!!

I think you should remove that last big O-ring before putting the new one in its place.
What is the plastic part called at 6:07? I need a new one. A screw snapped, so the plastic sleeve was damaged getting it off. I got the replacement balancing unit, but it didn't come with the plastic sleeve and I've been having a really hard time tracking it down.

It took me 5 seconds. I just google it., Enjoy!! Thanks
Thanks!
thank you so much. This is my second super thanks in 3 years.
I'm pretty sure this is the repair kit I need.....and am trying to gain the courage to try it. My set up has a diverter. Will this change the instructions at all?
Hello, it should be the same. You can do it. Just follow instructions step by step. Pay special attention on the O rings . Make sure they are place correctly. Let me know how it goes. Thanks
Thanks!!
Yeah!!!!
When you said it was leaking when using the new replacement was it the shower head ?
Hello. It was the spout diverter since I have a bathtub. But it is the same if you only have a shower head. Most of the time I have to install the same new one a few times because it keeps leaking. I alway buy two because sometimes the first (new) leaks. IN my opinion not very reliable product.
This is covered by Kohler via their lifetime warranty. Just contact customer service and they'll send you the parts.
Good to know. Thank you!!
P1016, couldn’t find it in the Kohler website. Daughter in law got fed up and we bought a Moen!
@@dam4274 call Kohler and they will ship you both parts in about a week for free. Amazon sells them as a set for 90.00 if you want/need it next day.
What would I need to give to Koehler to get the parts? I’ve never done a warranty
Hi, I have a customer with a Kohler valve and she has only hot water, I mean scolding hot water.
I removed the cartridge just to get photos so I can get a replacement. But when I removed it, there were blue pieces of plastic or paint in the ports at the back, I removed them and tested when I put it back together but still just hot water.
Is this likely just a cartridge replacement, or something bigger with the debris in actual feed lines?
If I put the cartridge back on in reverse that should give me just cold water if its the cartridge at fault? Or is my logic too simple there?
Hello. Remember if there is a problem with the temperature of the water, either there is only hot or only cold or it fluctuates, the problem is with the pressure balancing unit which its deeper in the valve.
The cartridge which is the outer part where the handle is, if this goes bad it would leak. So in your case the water is only hot . I ' ll replace the pressure balancing unit. Although I always, when replacing either unit, I always replace both. You dont want to take any chances. Remember to flush before inserting the new parts.
@@alexthehandyman3494 I figured it out myself later on by blowing through the pressure balancer. You are exactly correct, it was stuck to one side. Thanks man. :)
good stuff bro... helped out a lot
I’m glad to hear that. Thank you !
I have a constant drip from my tub spout. I replaced the pbu and cartridge but when i turn the water to my house back on, the water flows through the tub spout as if the shower valve is fully open. Turn the valve makes no difference in the amount of water flowing. Any idea why this might be?
Hello. I sorry to hear that.
Turn water off and do all everything again. Make sure all o rings are in place. Make sure you put everything back as it supposed to be.
Make sure everything is tight.
Try again. Get new parts again,
let me know.
Good help
I have to add that I am having the same issue with the unit still leaking after replacing.
Would replacing this fix a leaky shower?
if it leaks from shower head or spout, the cartridge is to blame. If hot /cold is not right then is the balancing spool. I would replace both. Please don't forget to like and subscribe. thanks
You forgot the silicone grease on the o-rings
yes, I forgot. Thx Jeffry. People please grease those O rings. 😃
The instructions said to grease one set of the o rings but not the other - any idea what’s the distinction or just poor instruction writing?
I order both parts from the link you provided. I installed exactly the way you did, but still leaks. Un installed and reinstalled 3 times and still leaks from the bathtub pipe. Any advice?
Hello Randy. Did you flush it before you installed the new cartridge. 2 out 5 cartridges I have to return. It is a pain in the back!! Get another one and return the faulty one. You can get them at Menards, Home Depot or Lowe.s.
Replace the cartridge one only . Leave the balancing valve. You ll replace the balancing valve only when it fluctuates hot and cold . Let me know what you end up doing. Some times it takes me 5 times to get rid of the leak. Make sure you tighten the screw very well. Good luck
@@alexthehandyman3494 had to return the cartridge and get a new one. Works perfectly fine now. Thank you
@@randyzahirudin7834 Im glad to hear that.
Any idea how to increase the flow rate on this valve? I believe the black part has smaller holes to reduce flow rate per manufacturer’s spec but I am working with slightly lower water pressure so I want to look into ways to increase flow rate. Any idea from anybody out there?
Hello Kim. This valve under regular conditions should not reduce the pressure. If the pressure before the valve is greater than after the valve, then the balancing unit is to blame. You should replace it. Might as well replace the cartridge too. Your problem might be somewhere else before it enters this valve. Let me know how it goes.
I have replaced both but it won't turn off at all... What am I doing wrong? I got another cartridge too but it won't turn off... Please help!
Hello Are you installing the o rings? it gets 3. 2 int the mixing valve and one big one int he cartridge.
watch the video again and see if y0u missed one step.
@@alexthehandyman3494 yep, I did it all correctly...I figured it out. You have to set the handle to the mid point so the water pressure doesn't blow past the gaskets and flood that chamber. The parts aren't faulty it just needs to establish flow through the new set up so it can properly seal and then you can slowly turn the handle off and it will work. I spent all night thinking about it and realized it is the water pressure... Thank you so much for replying and I hope my comment helps others too
After changing everything. The water doesn't turn off.
I had the same problem, its the Pressure Balance cartridge. The new ones are different than the old ones.
What did you end up doing? I'm having the same problem
Yo same wth
Hello, what’s the white cylinder part called?
www.amazon.com/Kohler-1006026-Replacement-Part/dp/B002J3ASI0
I have a kohler. How do I know what model I have?
Hello, Take a picture of the trim, remove the trim and take a picture of how it looks without the plate. Go to google and search by image. Use the picture you took. Compare yours with others.
Look at more videos and compare. That is how you find out. It would be nice if it had a model number right there in big numbers for you t see.
What to do if its stuck? I feel like I'll pull the whole pipe out
You have to keep trying . It will eventually free up.
Make sure the water main is off.
Watched 10+ repair video, this is the only one tells the function of the two parts: one for dripping one for hot/cold.
Thank you so much Peter!!
Did u have 2 o rings on the cap ???
I’m wondering. The same thing pls let us know?
What’s the whit piece behind that gold piece
Hello Bull, That is a plaster guard. Most mixing valve has them to help you installing the depth the valve. Depending on the manufacture they want you to have that white ring at the same level or behind the finish wall. (not past , inside the bathroom) After installation you may discard it or leave it.
Do you have the part number for this handle?
Hello Raphael. Im sorry I don't. But look for a Kohler temp rite handle. This one I did not buy or replaced. Thanks
U 4 got to grease the o rings
That's right. Thank you so much.

Thanks!
