to me



Hello Jack- I recommend calling Graff directly for this situation. We are a retail location and I do not have much knowledge on how to fix issues with faucets. They can be reached directly at 1-800-954-4723. Thanks and have a great day!

Stuck faucet cartridge. Need advice (pic encl)


Got that sucker out!!

Since I knew I was getting a new one sent to me I put a little more force on it and it popped out.

Thanks everyone for the help. Much appreciated!

A couple of months ago I too was struggling with a faucet cartridge~Moen. No amount of force could pull that cartridge out. Putting together a lever jig and attempting I actually cracked the outer housing in the attempt this, after Moen said all I could do was to drill the cartridge out
Ultimately I purchased a replacement~American Standard

If the center of a moen cartridge comes out but shell is still stuck in there the easiest way i know to remove then is with a 1/2" pipe tap and a piece of 1/4" copper around 2" long.
Shove the copper down the hole where the stem came out till it bottems out on back of faucet housing,then thread the pipe tap into the shell and start cranking.
When the tap bottems out against the copper keep screwing it in untill the shell comes out of faucet.
