Just wanted to update everyone on this thread, because I know it's important to let people know how things went. I successfully replaced the stem and fixed the leaking faucet. So, mission accomplished! Total cost: - $22 -- $16 for the valve (ordered online, $10 plus $6 shipping), and $6...

I have found what appears to be an exact match for this valve. It is made by Brasscraft (for Price Pfister). The one made by Price Pfister for this Treviso faucet does not look like mine, it is a bit different. Maybe it would work fine, but I would think getting an exact match is a better idea...

As promised, here's a few pics of how it looks now that I've removed the valve. As you can see, there's a lot of rust or something around the base in the first photo. Should I remove that? Or leave it alone? There was no leaking from the base of the faucet, so it had been okay in that area...

Success! I got the valve out. I went ahead and decided to pry the white plastic/nylon rim up, being very careful and using a small flat head screw driver. As soon as I put any pressure on it at all, it cracked and broke, but I was at least able to get it up which gave me access to the main...

Thank you for all your great help! I went to Price Pfister site and found my faucet! It's the Treviso, 8 inch spread, brushed nickel. Attached is a pic. I read some of the online reviews and one person posting in 2013 said they never could find the correct cartridge for this, that Price...

Thanks for the info about the brand names on faucets. Is there a way I can find out exactly what model Price Pfister to maybe download repair information? Also, the spanner wrench shown is a Delta wrench. Would it work for this Price Pfister nylon insert? How does it grip onto the insert? I...

someone on another repair forum suggested that this was a Delta faucet (although I have no idea why, because nowhere on the faucet does it say Delta or any brand name), and they suggested that I purchase a Delta repair kit that contains the attached tool, apparently to remove the white...

That's a thought (cutting off the splines from the stem). I'll consider doing that rather than buying a special deep socket wrench to get over the top of the stem. But as you say, I should buy the new stem first and know for sure what I'm buying before cutting off the splines, or at least...

How do you know this is Price Pfister? The faucet has absolutely no brand name markings on it anywhere. I've looked carefully and see nothing. Also, unscrewing the brass nut is the problem. I can't get at it due to the raised plastic/nylon insert or whatever it is surrounding the rim. If...

The hot water side on my bathroom faucet has been leaking, so I took off the handle and now don't know what the next step should be (I've never done a leaky faucet before). The sink itself is a Kohler but the faucet has no brand name on it, although someone at another forum said it might be a...

thanks very much for the further info. I think the part I'll be looking for would be a fill valve CAP. It's the cap portion that needs replacement and I do see online that Fluidmaster sells the valve cap. Now the trick will be to get the old cap off and get the new one on lol....but at least...

I just want to update everyone on my flapper problem. I did cut off the old flapper by snipping it (as it was very hardened from the water and no longer pliable). I put on a universal flapper easily and fixed that problem. Water now stays in the tanks and no more leaking from the flapper...

Thanks for further feedback. At this point, I'm trying to save myself a plumbing bill if I can replace the flapper, which is a $5 part, and get the toilet working again. If I'm unable to accomplish that, I'll have to call a plumber because I don't want to tackle the flush valve myself, even...

Thank you for your feedback on this.....I may have to cut it off, yes. I see no other way to get it off. I didn't know if cutting it off was a viable option, but if you feel it is, I'm gonna try it....and I will be very careful not to damage surrounding parts. I have a very small pair of sharp...

Hello all! Well, I'm a bit of a newbie DIY in plumbing, and think I've correctly identified the flapper as being the source of my problems with water leaking out of the tank, etc. etc. This is a low flow toilet, American Standard, currently has a blue flapper with a float. Anyway, I watched...
