    Perfectly what I needed, thanks. It was the same model or clone. Worked great. $13 gaskets, springs, AND new cartridges. So cool.

    Thanks for the video, Roger! Just so others are aware, their faucet (like mine) may be different. I was prepared to replace the spring and washer, but turns out my 2-handle faucet was different. It deployed screw-on brass valve stems that had a size 0 rubber washer that was held on at the bottom with a Phillips screw. Also an easy repair, but just a different configuration.

    Process of elimination is very important I have bath faucet that dripping & since it is old I not sure if it has cartage or the old rubber type will not know until I remove them I plan on replacing both and hopefully I not need the whole new faucet setup.

    Well THAT sure worked out perfectly! Lol! Were they ALL this simple & accessible! Lol
    I think you missed one of the most important steps:
    Step 0: COVER/PLUG the DRAIN(S) in case you drop a screw/washer/spring etc. into the sink and it rolls down the drain (as you curse in slow-motion!)

    Hey Roger,
    With so many differant types/brands of faucet, do you have to take the cartridge out to referance what to go buy? Or are they basic and easy enough to find whereas a guy could not have to make 2 trips and have the homeowner be without water
    How about making sure your basket strainers are in?
    Removing the airiater also not a bad idea and being prepared to replace bad shut-off valves. In advance.

    Hello Roger. I was not able to find an email address or a way to contact you other than left a RUclips comment. Regardless I was wondering if you could help me prepare for an interview I have coming up with my local plumbers and pipefitters union. I love your videos so much it has inspired me to pursue a career in plumbing and hopefully one day become a master plumber and be able to teach younger generations.

    No problem getting the handles off, allen wrench and philips head, but I cant get the cartridge off. Its cheap plastic and im afraid to use too much force and end up stripping the threads. Bathroom faucet, 2 handles, cold is a very slow drip, but hot recently started getting worse. Ive resorted to turning the sink water off at bedtime because I know the drip is costing me on my water bill. I guess call a plumber??? Unless someone has advise on how to get a stubborn cartridge out? The nut that it sits on will not turn and im afraid to force it. My husband installed this stuff 18 years ago, so it's old. This only started after he died earlier this year. Of course. Happy Holidays!!! 😂😂😂 Thank goodness for the easy 1/4 turn individual shut-off valves at every water source. Gotta find every silver lining. Going to spray some wd-40 and let it sit overnight.
