[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2083939, member: 109994"] Here's something I forgot to mention. This is the second time it's happened. I had the same valve put in yesterday (new) and it leaked. Luckily I caught it before screwing the backer board up because it was slower than this was. I pulled that cartridge out, inspected and didn't find any damage, reseated it, and it still leaked. So I took that one back and got the same one. This one looks slightly updated because the valve stem is brass instead of plastic. This one leaks too but worse!! I didn't use any heat on the body. I was thinking it's got to be something I did or didn't do, because what's the chances of it happening with two it in the same day that are obviously manufactured at quite different times? I opened a few kits before bringing home a second one and the Moen and Delta kits fit and finish seemed sub par, which is why I went with this one. If Moen and Kohler are ahead of Pfister, I may just go get one of those. The manual says nothing about leaks or inspecting the cartridge, or using grease on the oring. [/QUOTE]
