What happens here

Carefully insert the new, lubricated cartridge into the valve body. Ensure that the 'top' notch or marking on the cartridge aligns with the corresponding feature on the valve body for correct installation. You may need to remove a metal ring from the new cartridge (if it came with one) and reinstall the old metal retaining ring that was previously removed. Once inserted, the cartridge should fit snugly. Then, secure the metal retaining plate back in place by reinserting and tightening the two brass screws with your screwdriver.

Goal: Place the new cartridge into the valve body and secure it.
