Tapco 974-035 Single Control Lavatory Cartridge

Product Description

The TAPCO 974-035 is a single control lavatory cartridge designed as a replacement component for Price Pfister lavatory faucets. The cartridge is the internal valve mechanism that controls water flow and temperature mixing through a single handle. When the original cartridge wears out or begins to leak, replacing it restores proper faucet operation without requiring full fixture replacement. Plumbers and experienced plumbing technicians handle this type of repair as a standard service call in both residential and light commercial settings.

This cartridge is intended for use in single-handle lavatory faucets, typically found in bathroom sink applications. Single control cartridge faucets are common in residential bathrooms and are serviced during routine plumbing maintenance or in response to dripping, stiff handle movement, or loss of temperature control. Installation is straightforward for a qualified plumber familiar with cartridge-style faucet valves.

Installation Notes

Cartridge replacement on a lavatory faucet is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply valves beneath the sink before beginning disassembly, and relieve line pressure by opening the faucet. Handle and retaining clip removal is typically required to access and extract the existing cartridge. Follow local plumbing codes, including applicable IPC requirements, for repair and replacement work on potable water fixtures.
