Reassembly

RUBBER STOP VALVE

Re-insert cartridge by pushing it all the way into the body until the front of the ears on the cartridge shell are flush and aligned with the body, (see illustration). Replace the retainer clip so that the legs straddle the cartridge ears and slide down into the bottom slot in the body. This prevents the cartridge from rotating and locks it in the body. The notched flat on the stem must point UP when mounting handle, with pointer UP. Re-install stop tube, handle parts and handle knob or lever.

TO REMOVE STOP VALVE

Always turn water supply OFF before disassembly. Open faucet to alleviate sustained pressure.

Removal of stop valve:

1.Remove knob and escutcheon (pry off handle cap and remove handle screw).

2.Using snap ring pliers, remove retaining ring from valve body.

Re-Installation of new stop valve:

2.Insert stop valve until fully seated beyond retaining ring groove in valve body.
