   In order to replace the Pfister S10-034 with rubber compression washer, you must remove both the cartridge and the seat. Verify that the original cartridge plus seat is the same length as the new ceramic cartridge at the seal flange. Clean any mineral scale and rinse out the valve body. To the new Pfister 5084 cartridge you should apply faucet stem grease to the seal at the end and on the hard plastic ring seal – to hold it in place during install. Remove the plastic cover from the new ceramic cartridge to allow access for a shower valve wrench (socket). Do not remove the rotation limiter. If it falls out note that it only fits in one position and should slip on easily with no force. Do not push on the stem of the new 5084 cartridge as the ceramic disks and the neoprene seal can be dislodged and fall out. If this happens carefully replace into the brass body after aligning all parts with notches and grooves. Put the hard plastic seal ring into the valve body first, then thread the new cartridge into the valve body. Hand tighten to see that the ring seal does not dislodge from the recess in the valve body as the cartridge comes into contact. Apply some torque with the shower wrench (socket) but the hand tightened parts must already be in contact both at the seal ring and the back of the valve body where the seat was removed. If you did not remove the seat, stop now and remove it, you will break the ceramic parts if you continue. When applying torque to the cartridge with the shower wrench or socket, do not compress the hard plastic ring because you will damage the cartridge end where it makes metal-to-metal contact with the back of the valve body. Once the cartridge is installed, replace the plastic cover that holds the rotation limiter in place. If you have the one-piece escutcheon and tube that threaded onto a 1/2 inch nylon tube, you will need new larger threaded chrome sleeve Pfister 972-201A and escutcheon Pfister 960801A or brushed nickel equivalents. In the photos you can see I used an o-ring to hold the escutcheon tight to the tile while a small amount of silicone caulk behind the mating chrome surfaces was curing. Do not thread the Pfister 972-201A sleeve in too far as it needs to reach into the handle cap as shown. I did this on a 1980 Price Pfister valve that had been rebuilt in 2011 with the original Pfister S10-034 cartridges and new seats. In 2017 that valve body was removed and repurposed to an outside shower in 2018. The Arizona heat caused the rubber washers to fail rapidly. After changing 3 times in 2 years I have installed the new Pfister 5084 ceramic cartridges and it looks like the upgrade is a huge success. Of the 3 Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) – my favorite is REUSE!

   I had to replace an almost new one in a new faucet and this new one stopped the dripping.
