Faucet Terminology ?
Hello,
Was wondering right the right name for this type of faucet might be. I don't think its termed a Cartridge or a Compression type, but not sure. I have a bathroom faucet assembly A separate hot and cold valve handle, with the water exiting from the middle spout. Sort of the standard bathroom faucet arrangement. Inside the valve assembly there is a small rubber "hat" with a small, tapered, spring inside. that presses this "hat" against the underside of the part that is actually turned. It certainly isn't a Compression type of valve faucet. Are these called Cartridge types, or is there another name for them ? Thanks, Bob |

The part with the stem that moves is called a cartridge. The rubber hat is called a seat. The spring is a spring or seat spring. For normal drips all you need to replace is the seat and spring. Bad drips sometimes need a new cartridge. Here is a link to the Delta site with illustrations. http://www.deltafaucet.com/wps/porta...avatory+faucet Colbyt |
