Shower Valve Cartridge Replacement (NO HOT WATER FIX)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 фев 2019
- In this video I demonstrate how to fix a shower that had no hot water coming from the shower head or tub facet. The hot water repair in this case was to remove and replace the shower valve cartridge. The process to replace a shower valve cartridge is simple however removing the old cartridge can be difficult. A special shower valve cartridge removal tool is essential and acts as a cartridge puller.

I had a plumber come over and diagnosed my lack of hot water was due to a faulty hot water cartridge. He wanted to charge me $430! I watched your video and was able to replace it myself for $35 for the new part!
Thank you!!!
Great to hear the video was helpful in your repair of your hot water situation and saved you some money. Having said that good plumbers are worth every penny when needed. Trades professionals have a lot of overhead to do the work they do plus they have gained priceless amount of specialized knowledge through their accumulated experience. It is understandable their services come at a considerable cost.
This is how real projects actually go. You are a model of patience and perseverance. Well done.
O wow! Thank you kindly. It might be what you perceive as patience is actually selective video editing. HAHA
Excellent video. I appreciate the patience you tackled this with and showing all the steps and trouble you had. Most of the time people don't want to show trouble because they want to look so skilled and make it look easy. By you showing the trouble you had, it made you look like a true professional.
Thank you! It was a major effort to edit out all of the "bad words" that were shouted. HAHA
To the point and useful! Thank you!
Excellent video. Quality camera work. Good use of fast motion. Pause to show pieces. Clear explanations. Speaking clearly. Wish everything was this good.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the video. I just came from Home Depot with the valve and the tool and fixed my downstairs shower. Thanks so much!
Excellent! Congrats on your DIY shower repair. Awesome to hear this video helped you replace the shower valve cartridge.
Absolutely the best set of steps for fixing a defective cartridge. Other than the 3 trips to Lowes for items mismatched or packaged with parts missing, I was able to do this myself with no cartridge repair experience. Thanks for your help!!!
Awesome, So glad you were able to replace your shower cartridge and thanks for sharing that this video helped.
Lost my parents and live in the old home I grew up in. It’s in bad shape. For nearly 4 months I’ve showed with little hot water mixing in with the blast of cold water. Ice on the ground and heat provided by space heaters makes for tortured mornings! I kept thinking it was the faucet and not the hot water tank. I’m so glad I kept looking for the right RUclips video! Thank you for making the job seem simple and possible for me to do the job. You’ve helped so many with this issue! May great returns for your time and shared wisdom be in abundants!
Thank you. Condolences regarding your parents. If you have hot water elsewhere like the sink, it probably is not a hot water heater issue. The valve could be the likely culprit. Best of luck with your repair and fixing up your home.
I can’t get over how calmly you approach it being all stuck in there! Love it!
Thanks, the magic of video editing may explain that.
Thanks great video, I didn't think to break the plastic tabs off. I like that you didn't talk on and on and got right to the task at hand..thanks again
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the supportive comment.
First video I've seen that is realistic, showing a stuck valve and cleaning the housing.
Thanks Rick, ya I think it is typical the shower valve cartridges get stuck and are a pain to remove.
For real man...he films the struggle the tedious adjustments and everything this is important. Because this is what we go through!!!
Not that easy stuff that make ppl look smart
Lol the edits to the beat cracked me up. Very informative thank you
Thanks Vincent
Thanks for the video! We just moved into our "new" home two months ago, and have been using the guest bathroom to shower because we couldn't get hot water in ours. Nobody knew what the problem was, and we didn't want to call a plumber and drop all that money, if we didn't have to. I did some googling, and came across your video! Fixed it myself in less than an hour! Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing that this video help you repair your lack of hot water situation. Congrats on executing the shower repair yourself.
This dude is really repaired. Many other people's videos can be pulled out easily, which is obviously fake for the purpose of shooting videos, which is of no help to our maintenance. come on! You did very well!
glad you found the video helpful Andy
Great video! Followed every step and it works like a charm now.
SO cool to hear the video help you repair your shower. Thanks
Only took me 6 or 8 videos to see what to do when the plastic HC tab and the bottom tab bottoms out on the pulling tool. Thanks for including that in your video!
Glad it helped
Thank you for this video. You have no idea how much I needed this step step instructions video!
You're welcome! Thank you for sharing the the shower fix video was helpful for you.
Great video! I prefer DIY videos to the ones done by pros, because the pros never seem to have complications. The puller is an essential tool, too.
Thanks for the supportive comment Scott. Yes in deed the puller was essential to remove this shower cartridge.
Great video! Made my repair job quick and easy. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment and congrats on you shower valve repair.
Excellent! Also shows how to deal with hiccups &problems
You saved me a callout fee and probably a few hundred bucks or more. I used your links to buy the parts on Amazon. Thank you.
O wow thanks. So great to hear when one of my videos is helpful and appreciated.
Great job. Very helpful start to finish.
Thank you for sharing that the hot water fix video was helpful for you.
Just replaced mine today. Thank you thank you for this video! You saved me $$$, I was about to call a plumber.
Congratulations on your DIY shower fix and thanks for sharing that this video was helpful.
Thank you for teaching me . God bless you and your family.
Thank you for the kind and encouraging comment. I hope you were able to get your hot water working again.
Thanks for the video. I'm going to be doing this tomorrow and and preparing to encounter the same issues you did, as no project in my house goes as smoothly as other videos show it going.
Good luck!
Thank you for posting this video - very helpful. About to purchase a cartridge puller from a local hardware store. Now understand how it is used :)
thank you and best of luck with you your shower repair
great instructive video, nice pace really helped me out
Awesome to hear and thanks for watching the shower repair video.
Great video, very informative and your patience was exceptional.
Thank you however the power of video editing may slightly hide my actual patience. HAHA
@@MrKistel I am going to do mine tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks
@@jesseruss9987 you got this, let me know how it goes
Perfect! Thanks! Especially like the time you took on reassembly. I had to take mine apart...then was doing other home improvements, when I got back to this, I couldn't quite remember the sequence of how to put mine back together, and it's similar to the one you demonstrated here. So, great. Thanks!
Excellent!
Excellent!!! Thank you!!! Exactly what I needed to see.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for sharing
Thank you. Really nice to know that it is that hard to pull out even with a puller
Thank you for posting this!:)
My pleasure! Thanks
Excellent very simple and realistic, thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Hope you were able to troubleshoot any shower problems you may have been having.
Hands down a great video!
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope your shower has hot water again.
Thank you great job explaining everything i was able to fix my own shower knob with
Your instructions with no hassle or guessing if i did the job wrong , thanks now my parents have the shower working
So great to hear the video helped you repair the shower. Have a great week.
Best video! This exact same thing happened to me I followed everything as you did
Glad it helped and that you were able to fix your shower
Excellent Video. That's is be a professional Instructor!! Thank you.!! Saved my time.
Great to hear and thanks for the kind words. Hope your shower repair goes seamlessly.
Thanks for the detailed video. My problem is my hot water is out; cold water is flowing not the hot side. So i definitely will change my own cartridge. Thanks for sharing. Much love from Louisiana!!!
Thanks for the kind comment. I hope this video is helpful with your facet cartridge replacement and shower repair efforts. Let me know how it goes.
Excellent video. Very instructive.
Thanks J Cloutier, I hope the video help you repair your shower.

Nice shower valve cartridge install
Ok......soooo I wish I could thank you personally and tell you exactly what your demonstration video do for me. I seriously can't thank you enough. Such an easy fix that caused me some problems.....before I watched yours. I had watched a few others that just aggregated me and the situation. The first guy I watched used the cartridge puller the opposite way you did and took me almost an hour to get the cartridge out. You're explanation and demo was spot on. I thought I had a faulty puller. And that's the part of doing this job that is hard. The rest is just icing on the cake. Now I can finally take a shower after over a week. Massive hand shake bro. (took me awhile to get all the things I needed since we're on lock down here again).
Much appreciation. Have a blessed year.
Kevin
Wow Kevin I really appreciate this supportive comment. It has made my day. It is awesome to hear when one of my DIY videos has been useful and helpful to a viewer like yourself. Congrats on your repair and happy 2021 to you as well.
What a pain! But saved big bucks. Thanks for the details !👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks and glad to hear you were able to do a DIY shower repair.
Very good .thank you . You covered a lot of Murphy's Law in your video. Thanks M jay
Yes it seems like "no good deed goes unpunished." In almost every case when I start a project I find out it is going to be more complicated then originally thought and/or find other items that need to be repaired along the way.
@@MrKistel yes sir .iam not a plumber but when I do small jobs always expect the unexpected .
Replace as much old parts
Perfect explanation thanks you
wow Thanks for the comment and watching this shower repair video.
Good video thanks.
Thanks for watching and the nice comment Carol
You made that look easy bro👍🏻
Thanks man, it must be the magic of video editing. Ha! I assure you there were a few choice words I may have blurted out when doing this shower fix that did not make it into the video. Replacing the cartridge can be pretty simple, it just depends how stuck in the old one is.
Thanks, worked like a champ! My old cartridge came out in one piece with just channel locks and almost no swearing on my part.
Wow you were luckily the shower valve cartridge came out so easily!
😂 No Swearing!? Show off! JK 🍻
Very useful tool, never realized that until today. I had always have difficulty to take that out specifically when stay there for years without being replaced. But I think the covering plate doesn't have to be removed to do the job.
Great tip!
Thanks for sharing very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful. Replacing my 1222 next week. I had way more trouble getting the handle off than you did.
Great to hear!
My water is luke warm and the dingle-berry who put the shower in, has the knob upside dwn. I was seconds from remodeling my whole bathroom jus to have the perfect walk-in shower. U might have jus saved me thousands.💃💃💃 Im feeling confident.
Awesome to hear the video may have helped you fix your shower. Best of luck and thanks for watching and commenting
Thank you to help us to share your experience, very interesting video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
I just fixed my tub and officially have hot water again!! Thanks!
Awesome and congrats! Did you facet cartridge come out easily or was it a bear to remove?
MrKistel It was a BEAST!! Took me a solid hour with the tool.
great instructions thanks so very much
Glad it was helpful!
Best instruction to use Moen puller on 1222 cartridge ( white plastic tap on top) , this white tap will prevent the tool to pull out further enough to get the cartridge out. The tool had been designed to pull out by turning the body nut . Keep turning until it run out of thread ( on the same time, just keep tool stays straight on line ). Then gently pull out on the handle . Many people using incorrectly this tool and messing thing up!
Thanks your video was very helpful let me tell you a little about my experience tho lol well the shaft on my cartridge broke right off that's why I had to replace it only had the plastic part that has H/C to pull on lol did buy the puller tool helped a little but after like a good half half hour with needle nose pliers finally got it off whewww. The new one went in like a charm. Thanks again for you DIY video
Wow that sounds like it was a project! Hope you are bathing victorious again in hot water now that you have repaired your shower.
You saved me $500. Thank you so much!! :)
Excellent!
Boy oh boy. You really have that thing a good finger. 😂.
Very helpful video.
Very Helpful. TY
Glad it was helpful!
Blind leading the blind. Good luck!
Nice video. This was a pain! I had the tool and kept pulling and pulling and ended up pulling only the metal rod in the middle out. The plastic sleeve was still stuck inside so I had to chisel and rip out the plastic pieces. Finally got it all cleaned out and thankfully after installing the new one my original problem was fixed.
wow that sounds like it was a real pain but glad to hear you got it all figured out
You just helped me fix my tub thanks a lot buddy
That's what I like to hear, Thanks and congrats on your hot water repair.
Nice work.. Thank you
Thank you too!
Thanks for your video
Thanks again
Thank you for watching and commenting on the no hot water repair video.
excellent! using this today
best of luck
Now that you've mentioned it, this video was 100% helpful. The key stop system protects the hot water from scalding, and the knob doesn't stop northeast when it comes to the cold water. So that just leaves a metal plate that will display the instructions, a way to keep my old and forgetful father out of the way, and Ned's advice from "Spiderman: No Way Home" when it comes to counterclockwise.
Thank you.

Glad to hear the video was helpful. Thanks
Good video, good sir 👍🏼🙏🏼

Awesome, best of luck with your shower repair. Let me know how the cartridge removal and replacement goes. Hopefully yours comes out easier.

Thank you! I have issues with cold water! I think I can do this on my own! Woot!
Awesome, Thanks for commenting and best of luck with your cold water shower fix.
Hi, is this the same fix if it's my cold water that doesn't work at all?
Thanks you are professional
So nice of you, thanks for the supportive comment.
thanks my valve is slightly different but your video helped me to remove my old one, thanks again
Glad it helped
Thank you
❤️❤️
You are so welcome
Thanks for share video
Thanks for watching
Great help for me
Great to hear
Super, merci beaucoup cela m’a aidé beaucoup.
Je vous remercie
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks a lot.
Most welcome!
thanks for including the struggle!
Thanks! Haha, I am sure I edited out a bunch of bad words.
Thanks good example
Thanks for watching and best of luck with your shower valve cartridge replacement.
Fantastic video. I'm betting this is what's wrong with my shower control as well.
Thanks and perhaps a faulty shower cartridge is the problem if you are not getting hot water. It seems to be a fairly common issue and the cartridge replacement should probably even be considered a maintenance procedure after a certain number of years of use.
@@MrKistel changed it yesterday. Hot water!! Best part is that the local Emco gave the part to me for free! Both pieces.
Looks like a DIY hot water repair option for sure.
How to put a chain link
THANK you 👍👍👍
Thank you too
I just replaced that, by watching your video. Thsnks
Glad I could help and congrats on your shower repair.
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
Great Explanation.
Have you experienced any case where no water coming down the spout initially and after the replacement of cartridge?
I noticed no water output from the spout but only there is a shower supply.
Renewed the spout…
Renewed the cartridge..still
No output from spout.
Copper pipe from valve to spout appears clear.
Are there any narrow channels in the valve which could get choked?
Any leads?
Thanks.
You're welcome
Thank you.......
You're welcome!
Thanks for the video. I had a plumber come out to fix mine but wanted to charge me $500. Needless to say, I replaced it myself.
Congrats on DIY shower repair.
This is excellent Thank you for putting this up. How can I identify which cartridge I need. I haven't found any markings on the fixture
Thank you for the supportive comment. To confidently identify what replacement you need it might be best to pull the old shower valve cartridge out and take it with you to the home center or plumbing supply shop.
@@MrKistel Thank you Sir
It is a 7/64 Allen wrench in case anyone needs to know this.
thanks for the tip
I liked this video because really show step by step without problems, I have a problem in my
Water pipe in the shower, every time when open the valve the water running brown color can you please tell me why, I will wait your answer
Victor, thanks for your comment. I am not sure what the issue is with you your shower plumbing but please do share once you figure out the problem is and the solution. Best of luck with your shower repair.
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
How do you adjust the valve to get more hot water, going past the hot water limiter mechanism?
When he first closed the water valve on top of the water heater, do you need to also turn off the pilot to water heater? Or can I leave everything as is, and just close the main valve?
Great video. Wish I had seen it before I replaced my entire valve. I had no idea there was a replaceable cartridge--I thought the entire thing had to be replaced. Ug. Wasted all day and a lot of money.
Thanks. Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with having made the repair a brand new shower valve. No you at least do not have to worry about changing the valve out again anytime soon. Congrats on your repair.
