 New Danze cartridge stem is longer than the old one
Author: rwhirley (TX)

Thanks to this forum I was able to replace my shower cartridge on my own!!

My question is when I replaced the cartridge I noticed the new one is a bit longer and now looking at the old one, it looks to have one section of the cartridge scored off. There is a bit of a gap between the handle and decorative cover. Will this matter? The screw still tightened when I put the handle on and the shower is now working.

Thank you,
Renay

some stems are made extra long and you cut the excess off to fit. I am not sure if yours is one of these however.

Yes, I noticed that the stems are in "sections". How do I cut it off?
