I have a slow drip from my shower faucet. I replaced the cartridge but it still drips. (The cartridge was replaced a couple moths ago and we haven't used the shower)
Any advice would be appreciated.


If you replaced the cartridge... my only guess is that it’s dripping from the residual left in the head and pipe …..not from the supply itself

repairing a faucet cartridge?

I am replacing the cartridge on a single shower faucet, but the old cartridge broke inside the pipe, now I can't remove it to install the new one?


There are a couple things you could try...
A) see if you can get the rest of the cartridge out with a needle-nosed pliers. If you can't,

B) have an assistant turn the water on very briefly. The water pressure should eject the broken cartridge. (Just make sure your not near the faucet when the water gets turned on as the part will be ejected at high speed.)

Good luck!

I'm not getting any hot water from my Moen one lever shower faucet, I replaced the cartridge still not working

the cold water is fine, and I know there is pressure from the hot water, it just wont come through the faucet, even after I replaced the cartridge...
I know the pressure is fine cuz I took the cartridge out and turned on the water, it came shooting out, so I know the line isnt plugged, is this a common problem with Moen?
there is a central boiler for my building, and the hot water in the rest of the house is fine, this is in my guest room that has only been used for about 1 week since the building was built 2 years ago


Turn the water off and remove the supply line from the shut off valve. Remove the cartridge and try to insert something like a coat hanger thru the line to remove the debris. it's probably a piece of the rubber washer from your shut off valve.

Can water hammer rotate the cartridge in a shower faucet?

I have a Moen single-handle Posi-Temp shower faucet. After replacing my water heater and turning the water back on, there was significant water hammer when I turned on the shower faucet. After that, the water is no longer off when the handle is at six o'clock; instead it shuts off at three o'clock. Turning it all the way counter-clockwise is no longer warm enough. Could the water hammer have turned the 1222 cardridge inside the valve? If so, do I just need to remove the cartridge, realign and reinstall it in the valve so that six o'clock is the shutoff position again? Or does the cartridge need to be replaced? Note that it is not leaking -- just misaligned.


No water hammer would not rotate the cartridge. But is it possible the attaching screw has become loose betweent he henadle and the cartridge?
Also the hammer may have loosened up some crud in the valve body/cartridge. I'd pull it (carefully) clean and reinstall.

Replacing delta faucet cartridge 1700 series?

Water trickles from tub shower faucet. Is cartride gone bad? I have 1700 series delta faucet. If the problem is with cartridge, where do I find information how to do it. Delta website gives very little info. Please help


Delta has a replacement policy with Home Depot or Loews. Call them. It is just a matter of you taking the cartridge with you and they will give you a new one. Free.

It is as simple as that.

I have done it a few times myself.

  • Escondido Homes and Tips: Replacing a Shower Tub Faucet? Tips You ...

    Is the constant drip from the shower annoying you at night? Fix it. Replacing shower tub faucets is easy with the tips given below.

    The faucets come in various styles and sizes. The old ones used to have washers and newer ones have cartridges in them which control hot and cold water. If there is a leak it will be due to these. They start leaking or dripping when washers become stiff and corroded. Water pressure also hastens this process.
    So when you remove these take the faucets to the hardware store and get them replaced according to the correct size. Take an exact centre to centre measurement.
    Keep the correct tools with you. Basically you require two pipe wrenches one for holding and another for turning. For square or hex nuts open end wrenches are ideal as they have smooth jaws. If the pipe is of small diameter then you need to have vise grip wrench.

    YouRepair.com - » HowTo – Fixing A Leaking Bathtub Or Shower Faucet

    Repairing leaky faucets can be done by a home owner with only a few simple tools and some replacement parts.  The parts you need will depend on the type of faucet you have and which part of your valve assembly is giving you a problem.

    First you should check where the leak is coming from.

    Is the water passing through the faucet or is it leaking from the handle.

    If the water is flowing through the spout of the faucet and leaking because you just can not turn it off then you probably have a problem with your cartridge or valve.

    If the water is coming out of the handle and the water that exits the spout can be stopped then you probably have a damaged o-ring or washer that seals the valve.

    If you find you are leaking water from behind the wall of your bathtub faucet then you may need to remove a portion of your drywall to access the valve assembly. This could require a professional to help.
