Review: Works great and easy to replace. - Replaced our leaking two pieces valves with this one-piece valve and everything works great. However, does not seem to let as much hot water through. We have adjusted the valve adjust piece as much has it allows, but still just not the same as before. I had already thrown all my old stuff away before really noticing this, but I think that it is just the old adjustment insert has a wider range on the old one. It is not that much notice, but if you like really hot showers, you may notice the difference. I would buy this again, so everything stated above is not a game changer for me. It stopped my leaks, and I thank them for that.
Review: Shower lever works again! - Part fit perfectly and shower worked like new after installed. Installation was moderate, as it required to remove and reseal knob plates. Quality seems to excellent

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this fit for model 28000-0100**
A: I also wanted to vouch that yes, this is indeed a valid replacement for the 28000-0100.  I had the 28000-0100 and this 9740420 model worked beautifully as a seamless replacement.  Just make sure you keep the bolt hanger plate with the 4 screws and the silver screw that hangs off the white nose, as these two parts are not included with this replacement part.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Price Pfister cartridge worked out great. We were not getting hot water
*by C***Y on March 5, 2017*

This Price Pfister cartridge worked out great. We were not getting hot water, at least not consistently nor for very long. This is a single unit as opposed to older units that are two pieces. Make sure you know which unit you have by Part number before ordering. Just shut the water main off, open all the faucets in the house to let water drain out and replace. When you disassemble the old unit make sure you cover the drain if you drop any screws. Just take note of the position of the old unit and make sure you replace the new unit same way. Its really an easy fix. Save yourself a plumbers visit $175-$250 and tackle this one yourself. A little suggestion: if your not getting hot water from the shower check your sink in kitchen and bathroom to make sure those faucets are getting hot water; if they are that way you know the bath faucet is probably defective. Causes of lack of hot water are mineral deposits and debris blocking the hot water passage. A plumbers trick is to soak the unit in vinegar for 24 hours to clean it out but for the relative low expense of this unit its probably better just to replace it. The best thing was I only waited 2 days for it to be delivered to my front door. If I went to a local plumbing store probably would have paid $30 -$40 instead of what $24? Love Amazon!
