How to Replace a Faucet Cartridge in a Single Handle Nivito Kitchen Faucet

If you've ever wondered how to replace a faucet cartridge in a single handle Nivito Kitchen Faucet, you're in luck. It's actually easier than you might think, and it can save you a lot of money. Here are a few tips to get you started. First, turn off the water supply valve. If you see a drip, the faucet is likely leaking. A broken rubber washer can also cause the faucet to leak.

To replace the cartridge, you first need to unbolt the retaining nut on the top of the faucet. You may also need a special tool. Sometimes, you will find a brass nut on top of the cartridge. You can buy a new cartridge without it, but the brass nut is a bit harder to get off. Nevertheless, you can try it anyway!

First, you must disconnect the water supply before you begin. This step will prevent water from flowing into the faucet while you're working on it. You can also use a screwdriver to pry the escutcheon cap off. Next, you need to remove the ceramic disk and the retaining clip. After removing the retaining clip, you'll need to remove the handle cover. The new cartridge may require you to change the tap handle as well.

Once you've removed the handle, tighten the nut on the bottom. Don't over-tighten the nut, or you'll risk damaging it. Be careful not to damage the handle, as you don't want it to fall off the faucet. If you do, use plumber's tape to hold the lever in place. If the knob is still loose, it will fall off the faucet.

If you're not familiar with the screws that secure the faucet to the wall, you can use a flashlight to see them. You can then remove the bolt and lever. Then, you can unseat the handle using an adjustable wrench. You may have to do some awkward body positions to get to the lever. Finally, make sure not to overtighten the bolt. Then, you can install the new cartridge.
