Review: Our shower works again! - Suddenly, our shower started acting weird. We were getting scalded then frozen, then scalded then frozen while trying to take a shower. It was really bad. First I replaced the cartridge, but that didn’t work. Then I realized it was this inner pressure balance unit that had gone bad. Took me a little bit to figure out which part to order. You remove the cartridge and see a gray plate that is held in place by a brass ring. Take off the brass ring and pull this unit out. There apparently are several models that are similar but not exactly the same. I’m including a picture of the gray water channel plate that is the interface between this and the cartridge, and a picture of the cartridge itself (with the red ring). The cartridge is NOT included, but I’m showing it to help you determine compatibility. It might help you determine if this is the right part for you. Easy to install and once in place, we had control of the temperature in our shower once again. Very happy. Worked as promised. Direct replacement.
Review: Faucet function restored good as new - 13 year old faucet. Semi-functioning for perhaps past 5-6 years; low grade dissatisfaction. Was agonizing about build quality, thinking that remedy was higher grade new faucet, an expensive undertaking. Studying the other desertcart reviews, glad to find I'm not the only one fearing bathroom remodeling, ripping out drywall, finding/buying entirely new faucet. Phoned AmStd customer service line; excellent responsiveness walking me through replacement of diverter valve, balancer, and cartridge and part numbers. I indeed did everything myself with all parts from desertcart at excellent prices. Did not waste time chasing around locally hit or miss games; content to wait on delivery however much longer it takes than searching at stores during their business hours. Outcome: faucet works just as new. Resolved to replace all parts after 5 years whether they need or not. Significant relief that all thoughts of professional intervention be banished.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: After changing this unit the hot started coming from the right side and cold from the left side, what did I do wrong?**
A: Yes, you need to rotate both pressure unit & valve 180*.

**Q: How do you service this?**
A: There is no servicing required it is to replace a faulty unit.  The assembly is secured by a brass retainer ring with three screws.

**Q: Will this solve my problem of not getting the desired water mix (hot and cold) ? Water either comes out as hot or cold, and nothing in between.**
A: Amazon Customer, the pressure balance unit does control the balance of hot and cold water and should take care of the problem. The model number of your faucet will determine which PBU is required. If assistance is required in determining this please contact us directly through the American Standard website "Contact Us" located at the bottom of our home page so we can assist you. Sincerely, your American Standard Consumer Connections Team.

**Q: How many mounting screws?**
A: Simple fix two or three!
