I had leaks on the hotside of two identical faucets from the handle only when I run the water. I changed the cartridges and the spring and seats since I got a package with everything in it and it fixed the problem.

Yes, but it was the internal "O" ring. |

Ah! I didn't know they had an internal o-ring. Good to know. |

Makes no difference. They do not sell "parts" for the stem. Just replace the whole thing along with the seats and springs. |
