Water Hammer In Shower Pipes!...I Tried This First

What happens here

Prepare the new cartridge for installation. Apply a small amount of plumber's grease, like Super Lube, to the large O-ring on the outside of the cartridge and the smaller gasket on the face. This helps it slide in easily and creates a better seal. Also lubricate the separate large O-ring that goes over the valve body. Carefully insert the new cartridge into the valve body, making sure the hot (H) and cold (C) indicators are correctly oriented with the hot and cold supply lines.

Goal: Plumbing Fixture Installation

Tools and materials

  • Plumber's Grease Super Lube — Lubricating the O-rings and gaskets for a better seal and easier installation
  • Shower Valve Cartridge Danco — Replacing the old, faulty cartridge to fix the water hammer

What they say

Crazy me that this is just glacier bay. I mean, maybe they're aquasource in glacier bay. Same scenario. Somebody let me know this because really this is the cartridge. Hold on. Give you a little how to inside here. You can say a lick about it. So that's a bummer. Thank you, Danco, because it's the only one I can find. So check it out. Pretty much similar except for this ring right here. This is just a different design of anti-schooled. This little red knob, right? You can turn it to make the water hotter or notter. There's no small children. But if you did want to turn it down, you always could, right? And then that limits how far this valve opens and closes. See that? Plus minus right there. We'll just go all the way to the plus. So I want to put a little something around this o-ring and around this gasket right here. I recently ended up buying another tube, a super lube. All right? Not going to use tons. A little dab will do you with this stuff. Just right around the o-ring. A little touch right on the top of this. Get this right here. Popped in place. It only goes in one way. So if we zoom in, we got a little red, a little blue. Kind of let you know that you're in the right way. This o-ring right here. We're actually going to pop that off real quick. Open this off and loop it up too.
