Installation tips
Before you start, shut off the supply lines and relieve pressure. Remove the faucet handle, locate and remove the old cartridge, and replace it with the Oakbrook Collection Essentials Hot and Cold Faucet Cartridge Assembly. Reassemble, turn the water back on, and test for leaks and smooth operation. If the handle feels stiff, ensure the cartridge is seated properly and not cross-threaded. Avoid overtightening parts during reassembly.
