My shower head leaks

Replaced Price Pfister hot water cartridge but it is still leaking! I removed several times and flushed the line then replaced without solving problem. Help!

You need to rebuild the cartridge. There are small o rings inside and dirt and other particles in the water tear them.

TAPE OVER THE DRAIN UNTIL FINISHED.

Turn off the water, pull the handle, unscrew the retaining portion of the bezel usually with thumb traction ribs. THe whole plactic part pulls out. Take this with you to a plumbing place, and likely you can get one for free...

Alternatively, you can call Price Pfister, and they well likely send what you need to your door...probably for free...

Replacement parts can be found on amazon. take a look here: Amazon com price pfister parts. I hope this helped you. cheers

I have a model# 17196-0100g cartrage and need a handel for it. How do go about getting one?

The 974-760 stem has the cool water screen plug with debris and you will need to disassemble the valve body to fix the problem. Be vary careful as parts for that assembly are real hard to find.

Two posebel coses i can think of.

1. the taps plunger is stuck in the off posision or 2. there is dirt loged in cold side of tap.

take off head part of cold tap and c if mabe the rubber is stuck or if u maby see some dirt in the tap ietself

hope it helps

Once your cover plate is removed you can access the cartridge. With different styles by Price Pfister there maybe an additional pressure balancing part behind the cartridge. If so they should both be replace at the same time. Remove and take to your local plumbing parts store for a match up.

Does the tub spout water flow stop when the shower knob is pulled?

Was the systems pipping flushed before the shower head was installed?

It may be clogged, remove the shower head and then attempt to operate. If it is clogged you will see debris trapped in the screen at its connection point. The shower head can be disassembled - cleaned - reassembled

Is the shower head an adjustable type, that may be in the off position?

Good luck

This sounds like a proper with your water heater. If you just installed this new shower head. First take it off and make sure that the hot water valve is opening fully if that checks out then go to the water heater and make sure the pipes check out ok and also that the heater is ok. Try putting a water heater blanket on it. Also try getting some pipe cover and cover the hot water line so on really cold days or not you will have warmer water
