Gerber Plumbing Round Stem Washerless Cartridge for Tub and Shower

It fit, the dripping stopped when I replaced the original. What I expected.

Pretty straightforward to install, no surprises, no leaks! The seal is good and it matches with my showers. Just need to swap the small gear to the new one and lubricate with the white lubricant.

Our tub faucet (installed sometime prior to 2013) has been dripping for *years*, and when I finally got around to taking it apart to find a part number all I could find was the brand (Premier, which is now a Home Depot brand) and a number that didn't seem to lead me anywhere ("018771A-1").There are plenty of washerless cartridges out there, but most have much shorter stems. After reading a few reviews about the Danco 89932 not fitting right on other Home Depot house brands (Pegasus, Glacier Bay, et al), I decided to bite the bullet and pay for the Danze part (especially since it includes replacement springs and gaskets).After installing last night, I stepped into a dry tub for the first time in years this morning. Absolutely worth the money, and I'm ashamed that I didn't fix this sooner.

It fits, it works right and no leaks. But, the details to tolerances... and the material. The washers had a burr and just fit, I fear they will 'wear' to quickly. The chrome-plated (not brass) strike-plate is not as good as the original. And the chrome-plated plate seems to stick; that is, the handle doesn't move as smooth as it did with the original parts. The handle has a sticky spot as you go to turn it on and off. And the opening are slightly bigger then the original and it is causing the mixing/adjusting of the temperature of the water to be very 'sensitive'. But, with that said, it work, it does not leak and it was a fair price.

This worked for this Danze shower diverter. (I don’t have a tub just shower) and it works great. My shower was dripping for years. Plumber said he couldn’t get the part and would have to break out part of my tarrazzo wall to rough in a whole new diverter. No thanks. Turn off house water first. Trick to getting handle off it turning the wide ring counterclockwise by hand as indicated is photo. Then it is obvious. Make sure to note the orientation of the cartridge and the gray & white temp limit gears (you need to reuse these as they do not come with the new part) Also note the position of the tear shaped holes on the silver plate relative to the gear stop on the main part of the cartridge. I put it in upside down and thru trial & error finally got it right so that to shower was OFF when handle was in down position. I popped out “washer Spring doohickeys” with a screw driver. I also cleaned the brass where the cartridge inserts with steel wool since there was hard water buildup. I put a tiny bit of silicone lube on the faces ofthe spring doohickeys & the O ring around the cartridge. Put everything back (notch on cartridge must line up with notch on diverter becareful) walla! No more drip. I did it. I’m a 50 something pretty handy mom type. You can do this too.

Perfect OEM replacement, Easy to install.

Only place to buy these part

If you are trying to repair a vintage Home Depot Pegasus Shower Tub fixture you are reading the write review. I spent hours researching purchased a diverter twice and now can say if your Pegasus is like mine look no further… You will need three components to rebuild this valve; a diverter kit, a washerless cartridge and a pressure balance insert. I’m attaching this review to each of the amazon webpages they are listed on. Danze makes two of the rebuild kits and though I tried the Danze diverter kit, I had to return it and get the Toto diverter kit. The three parts you need are: Danze round stem washerless cartridge DA603567, Danze pressure balance insert DA507041, and finally Toto diverter kit THU4131. Installing these components requires an assortment of tools that an experienced handy person might have though you might have to go to the store for a socket or hex wrench. I used plumber’s grease to hold some parts together and enable the components to slip together easier. You will need some mechanical skills and be a little lucky nothing goes wrong. I stuffed a rag in the gap between the fixture and the hole in the wall to ensure I didn’t lose a small part in the wall. I also left the trim off and watched for any sign of leaks for a few hours. If you don’t think you are up to the challenge purchase all the parts and hire a trusted plumber to install them. This will be a lot more economical than tearing the wall apart and purchasing a new fixture and trim. I’ve attached a couple pictures so you can see if your fixture matches.
