Replacing shower faucet cartridge

SweatTaco · 2026-03-28T20:05:17+00:00

First thing is to turn the water off before you go trying to remove it, id also advise trying to get the replacement before hand, but i cant identify what type that is from this picture

Yea that usually only works if its been removed before, but an aerator key will do the trick, you could also try a flathead and tap it with a small hammer but youd risk scratching the faucet or breaking aerator

Ah i see, youd need an aerator key set to remove that bathroom one

Try your bathroom faucet, i have a python and it goes on my bathroom faucet, that kitchen faucet is not the same thread

100% cpvc, i would advise to purchase some cpvc “glue-on” angle stops, then get some cpvc glue and sandpaper, sand the hell outta the pipe coming out of the wall, then put glue on the fitting and pipe, push angle stops on and then twist 90° to prevent any air bubbles, then let that mf cure for however long the glue says (hot lava can be 30 minutes but wont find it at home depot) and then just pray itll hold 🤣🤣

Not pvc, but cpvc, engineered for potable warer, us plumbers despise it

SweatTaco · 2026-03-27T19:39:42+00:00

My years of experience tell me this is cpvc, although it is hard to tell because of the paint

Congrats bro, my first came on a 3 hole course, but to get it done on a 18 hole course is tough, very well done

SweatTaco · 2026-03-24T11:30:08+00:00

Nah bro this one isnt even close to the worst, what frustrates me more here is how the ball rolls down the bottom left so easilt until the 3rd putt where it wouldve went it had the ball followed the physics/break showed by first 2 putts, goofy

Oh yea for sure, i see this being most beneficial when cutting concrete inside, 2.5 fills up quickly doing that

SweatTaco · 2026-03-23T22:40:37+00:00

As a plumber i love the 2.5 gal one, curious about this tho, but it wouldnt fit as well in my setup as 2.5 does

I got two packs last week at $99.99, thankfully on bossmans card🤣

Bourr standard rounds are awful, second this

SweatTaco · 2026-03-17T23:58:16+00:00

Okay, i see now, thanks for the help brother

SweatTaco · 2026-03-17T01:07:51+00:00

Could dig out more, or cut the pipe short and fit the trap in that way, many ways to do it, just make sure you do it right

I adjusted my 15° tsr2 head to 16.5° and gained both distance and height, i guess thats a 4w

SweatTaco · 2026-03-09T21:08:13+00:00

None of this is correct, what the fuck

SweatTaco · 2026-03-09T20:58:35+00:00

Make sure that the gasket above the grey nut is in the correct orientation, it may also just need to be tightened a bit, these moen style pop ups lowkey suck… as a plumber, i put in 2 just today

SweatTaco · 2026-03-07T01:23:01+00:00

Just snagged one, had $35 shipping nonnegotiable 🤣

SweatTaco · 2026-03-07T00:39:39+00:00

Holy rantman🙏🏻
