My existing cartridge was a model# 9740420. I replaced it with this model for 2 reasons; l prefer the metal stem, and this model is double keyed like my handle, where my original cartridge is single keyed. This model seems to be a good upgrade and fits and works perfectly.

I had a Avalon 1-Handle Tub & Shower Valve and it was slowly dripping water. I ordered the 9745299 and it was a perfect fit. Installation was super easy and no more drip. Mine came with a white adapter that wasn’t needed, even though the manual said not to remove.

I do not write many reviews, but when something is worthy of it, I certainly am willing to put my words behind it. (the only caveat I would add to that statement, is these are only freshly installed, so I have not been using them save more than about a month and change. If something were to change, I will update the review accordingly.)I have to say I am very impressed with this cartridge. A few years ago I did a master bathroom full gut / renovation, & at the time I also changed out all the faucet fixtures in the house, except for one, which was in my upstairs guest bathroom, as it is behind a fiberglass tub enclosure, the wall behind it was the upstairs exterior stucco wall to the house itself, so there was no easy access to change out the entire valve body/faucet completely.I had an entire renovation project at the time, so I just left the old faucet in place.Fast fwd ,& I use this guest bathroom for fast showers since there’s no glass to squeegee as in my renovated master bath.But I quickly realized the old OEM cartridge with the rubber O-rings inside, was squeaking & getting harder to turn (also have very hard water), so I knew it would start leaking soon.So I found this retrofit, ceramic disc cartridge, as well as the accompanying trim plates by the same manufacturer. I’m very impressed with all of these pieces. Not only did they fit precisely with an OEM fit, there were no leaks (as a tip use KY jelly to lubricate all of the O-rings when installing), but literally zero issues with the install as well as post install operation.Turning that handle on the ceramic disc is just like all of the other Hansgrohe faucets that I put in the house during the renovation. Without fail, this was money well spent on this retrofit cartridge. (unless, for some unforeseen reason, it does not hold up reliably across time, which I have not had it long enough to assess.)

I have a Price Pfister OX8-JX8 shower valve. It's several years old, and was never "quite right." The only problem was that the water never came out quite hot enough in spite of the limiter being set to full hot. The hottest was just warm. I finally decided to replace the cartridge. Price Pfister lists two replacement cartridges, for this valve, the 9743210 and the 9740420. Which to use? So I bought both. The 9740420 was identical to the factory cartridge. The 9743210 was a couple bucks more and has a black body and a yellow temperature limiter. That's the one I put in.Installation was easy. Price Pfister has a nice how-to video on their site. There was only one problem. After installation, the shower handle didn't go fully onto the shaft. A quick measurement with a vernier caliper showed that the black shaft keys were about 1/32 inch wider than the original. This had an easy solution: I shaved about 1/64 off each key with a rotary tool to a depth of about 1/2 inch. It wasn't even necessary to remove the cartridge. It worked fine. The result is a shower valve that operates perfectly and is much smoother then the original.So here's the bottom line: Take the handle off your shower valve. If it's got a white nylon shaft with one key, the 9740420 is the same as the original. It will fit perfectly. The black 9743210 will fit the housing but may not fit the handle, depending on the handle supplied with your valve. If you're willing to shave a little plastic off the shaft, the 9743210 is a superior cartridge.The bottom line is that it's a great product and superior to the factory original. You might just need to shave off a little plastic from the shaft keys. That's the reason for 4 stars.

Worked perfectly for my 2017 single handled shower handle. Started with a slow drip leak, 3 YouTube videos, one wrong part from the Home Depot, and a 24 hour delay for shipping, and 5 days post install... No drip!

I had old cartridge which was really hard to fit to anything. After I talked to specialist, they recommended me that new design which fits to most of the shower handle. I also got the new handle, it so easy to install and pretty cool design. Its really good solution if you are having not fitting old cartridge/handle , hot water or similar problems.

I had replaced the original cartridge that lasted more than 18 years about 2 years ago with a cartridge made by another company (MOEN). It was much stiffer to turn the handle and lasted a little less than 2 years. It started making the pipes vibrate or shake when set at certain temperatures (the hotter the worse). Since I've installed this PFister cartridge, it is very easy to turn and I have no more pipe vibration or shaking. It was very easy to install and so far I am very very satisfied with this cartridge. Would definitely recommend.

I had previously bought another cartridge from HD, which was made by Moen. It was very flimsy and hard to turn. This one is night and day. Just as good as the original - feels well made, turns properly.. no leaks. 10 minutes to replace.

Installed this PB valve in a circa 2008 Pfister shower control and it now works better than the original. Easy installation, great fit (no leaks) and easily adjustable anti-scald plate. Adapter for older valves comes per-installed so unless you have a newer model it installs right out of the box as is.
