If your Price Pfister faucet is leaking it may be affecting your countertop. Water from faucet leaks cause mold and even rot in wooden cabinets. To fix these problems a simple repair is all you need. The Price Pfister bathroom faucet has an easy-to-remove handle and cartridge that makes replacing a worn or damaged cartridge simple. The entire project requires only minimal knowledge and about 10 minutes.
Instructions
1. Close the water lines leading into your faucet. Open the sink cabinets and turn both pipe valve handles to the closed position.
2. Loosen the base of the Price Pfister faucet handle by turning the whole base part counterclockwise. If the base is stuck, use a pair of large pliers and a towel to grip and turn the base. Once loose, unscrew and remove the whole base.
3. Grip the cartridge nut, a round nut immediately under the handle, with pliers and turn it counterclockwise to loosen it. Remove it by unscrewing it the rest of the way with your fingertips.
4. Pull the cartridge out and place a new one into the faucet. Only Price Pfister cartridges work in a Price Pfister faucet. Get the propel model number for your bath faucet to ensure success.
5. Replace the cartridge nut and tighten it. Slide the handle base back on and turn it to tighten it securely. Turn the water on and test the faucet. If the leak remains, perform the repair on the other side. Or take the handle off and tighten the cartridge nut to properly seat the cartridge.
