Questions about this item

How do I install the PFISTERER 974-291 cartridge into a Price Pfister 0X8 valve, and what step is often missed?

Shut off water supplies, remove the handle and trim, pull the old cartridge with pliers, insert the new 974-291 unit aligning its tabs with the body slots, then reinstall the trim and handle. The step often missed is rotating the cartridge until the tabs lock into both slots before tightening the bonnet nut.

What future maintenance will the PFISTERER 974-291 pressure balance cartridge need?

The plastic cartridge may eventually develop mineral deposits or seal wear that causes temperature drift or drips. Periodically soak the cartridge in vinegar to dissolve scale, and replace the internal O-rings if leaking appears around the stem. Full cartridge replacement is required if the pressure-balance piston sticks.
