Hey everyone, just looking for some advice. I tackled a bathroom reno, and im at the finishing stages. Happy just to have the shower back. Anyway, I had an old delta hardware on there prior. I wanted to keep the theme so I bought new ones. It is a pfister universal kit. I followed the instructions and used the pieces to adapt to it so this new unit would go on. Now when I turned the valve back on for the bathroom water, it leaks like a siv and then the pressure just blows the piece off. I tried looking at the o rings for the piece, they all look fine. I get it to sit in, and everytime it leaks and blows off. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There should be a retaining nut that fits over the cartridge and screws over the outside of the valve body. It's the silver ring in the pic.

I installed that kit on a pfister faucet a couple of days ago. One of the pieces should screw on to hold the cartridge in place.

I'm confused about the Delta/Pfister inter-compatibility.

The trim kit has nothing to do with the ring that retains the cartridge.

Pfister makes a universal trim kit.

The new kit may have a new retainer ring to accomodate the revised trim kit. I don't remember because I was working with the Pfister version, but there were many extra pieces for the Moen and Delta configuations.

Thanks, the ring was what I needed. It was not included in the kit. I had to go to a plumbing supply store. They took it off a delta piece for me. The shower is squared away, not I just have to fix the issue with the toliet. It never ends.

You had to have had one BEFORE you took the valve apart. If it did not come with the kit, then they expected you to use the original one. What did you do with it?
