Default 1/4 turn ceramic tap inserts

I've replaced lots of ceramic cartridges that were only a few years
old. Spawn of Satan IMO.


Are they all the same? One size fits all?


Far from it! Not only do you have to match the cartridge, even the splines
are different sizes.

Kitchen tap works but the 1/3 turn taps have become 'sticky'. I'm
sure that prior to going away, when I had some plumbing done - motion
of the levers required much less effort (turnable with little finger
before, now not)


Worth descaling.
