Homeowners know how expensive it is to hire a plumber, especially if it is an after-hours emergency. The good news is, with a few tools and parts, you can perform many of these repairs yourself, which means you do not have to spend hundreds of dollars to hire a plumbing professional. While major repairs may still require a plumber, things like leaky faucets and toilets that do not stop running should be a breeze. If you have Pfister faucets in your home, you can find the faucet manuals online so you know exactly which parts you need to perform your repairs. Once you have made a list of the items you need, check out the prices and selection of plumbing parts and tools on eBay. One of the first things you need to determine if you want to fix your Pfister faucet is what the problem is. Knowing what is wrong with the faucet dictates exactly what repairs are necessary as well as which parts you may need to purchase. The term leaky faucet refers to any faucet that has water leaking out of it when the faucet is off.

Leaky faucets are a nuisance and they affect the cost of the monthly water bill. The extent of the increase depends on how much water is leaking and how long the leak has been active. The easiest and most common cause of a leaky faucet is a worn-out O-ring or washer. If, after replacing these two pieces, the faucet is still leaking, it may be the valve seat or a more serious problem. Although less common than a leaky faucet, you may encounter a broken handle or spout, especially if you or your family members are rough on your Pfister faucet. If water is shooting out of somewhere in your faucet other than the spout or if when you turn the faucet on, nothing happens, the cause may be a broken handle or spout. The first step is to try to determine which part is not working. Once you know whether it is the spout or the handle, you can look into ordering necessary parts. This list provides information on the tools and parts you are most likely to need when fixing your Pfister faucet.

Plastic Outdoor Furniture BunningsReplacing a faucet handle also requires you to know which model Pfister faucet you have as each model's handles are unique and may not work on other models. Before attempting any repairs to the faucet, you need to shut off the water supply to that faucet, otherwise you could end up with a wet mess on your hands.

To turn the water off, look beneath the sink for the water shut-off valve and rotate it clockwise until you cannot turn it anymore. Another important tip is to close the drain or put a towel in the sink basin. This prevents screws, washers, O-rings, and other small parts from falling down the drain. To reduce the possibility of mid-repair problems, it is best to collect all the necessary supplies and parts before shutting off the water and beginning the repair. Since there are no specialty tools required, only a couple of screwdrivers and a wrench, you may already have all of the necessary tools on hand. If you are ready to shop on eBay for the tools and replacement faucet parts you need, go to the site's homepage and type a phrase into the search box. For example, if you are looking for a wrench, you could search on that phrase or on "hand tools." Before making a purchasing decision, you should ensure the parts or tools you are buying are the correct size for your faucet.

Repairing your own faucet can be a quick, easy task that can save you hundreds of dollars. Saving money on the parts and tools needed means even more money in your pocket so be sure to shop on eBay for Pfister faucet repair parts and tools. 15 used & new Pfister 9740740 Avalon/Treviso 26/529 Series 25mm Cartridge Sub AssemblyDetailsPfister 9620750 Retainer Nut FREE Shipping on orders over $49.

Pfister 9510390 Avalon/Marielle/Treviso 26 Series Diverter Pfister 9417110 Retainer Nut Pfister 9509100 Amherst/Genesis/Marielle 34 Series Spout O-Ring Kitchen faucet (two separate handles, pull-out hose, Price-Pfister Catalina model) is dripping from the faucet itself. I shut the water from below the sink, determined it's a cold water, unscrewed the handle, removed and replaced the cartridge. As soon as I screw the cartridge in place, water starts dripping (both cold and hot water is shut off). If I unscrew the cartridge, water stops dripping (and nothing comes out of cartridge hole, so I suppose under-sink shut-off is ok). I tried unscrewing the hot water handle, same behavior exactly. Question: Why the water is dripping and how do I troubleshoot/fix it?
