Shower valve cartridge replacement

要固定泄漏的淋浴喷头,请用相同的新墨盒更换旧墨盒。在本文中,我们将重点介绍用淋浴阀更换的墨盒风格的水龙头。墨盒阀有一个手柄,当弹药筒滑入和驶出时可操作。不要将它们与单柄球形水龙头混淆,后者在手柄下面有一个圆顶形的套管。

We won’t deal with two-handle faucets here, which may be either a stem-type valve or ceramic disc valve. Learn more about shower faucet cartridge replacement in the following steps.

如果被卡住,请使用特殊的墨盒拉杆。拧下六角螺钉和六角螺母,直到可见线。将拉杆滑到墨盒茎上,将刀具的耳朵与墨盒切口对齐,然后扭曲。实际上,每个水龙头制造商都有一种将墨盒固定到水龙头身体的不同方法。寻找夹子或弹簧并将其删除(照片3)。墨盒通常很难拔出。一些制造商包括带有新墨盒的清除帽。将帽子与旧墨盒耳朵对齐,并尝试将墨盒松动。然后用钳子拉出。

If you can't budge the old cartridge, you'll need a cartridge puller. Make sure the one you buy works on your brand of faucet. Look on the handle or trim for the faucet brand or manufacturer. A knowledgeable person at a plumbing parts store may be able to identify the brand and model from a photo. Review Photos 4 and 5 for instructions on using a cartridge puller. Make sure you twist the cartridge loose before pulling it out (Photo 4). Take the old cartridge with you to a plumbing parts store or a home center to find an exact replacement.

安装新墨盒

Turn the hex screw by hand until it bottoms out. Snug up the hex nut by hand and tug on the cartridge puller handle. If the cartridge won't pull out, hold the puller handle steady and tighten the hex nut two full turns. Pull the cartridge out of the faucet body. Buy an identical replacement cartridge, align it properly and reassemble the parts.
