PfisterS74-2920 Avanti Cartridge

Our shower valve broke and we did a lot of searching on the internet to find the matching part - that was the hardest part of the project since the shower had a lever style handle without any manufacturer markings. Finally found out that we had Pfister Avanti push/pull type cartridge and also found a very helpful youtube video on how to replace it and decided to try it ourselves (had a plumber's number handy though just in case). I ordered the part on Saturday night and it arrived on Sunday morning. The quality of the part is good, it is plastic with metal stem. Googled youtube video title "How to replace a 30 year old Price Pfister AVANTI shower cartridge" and followed the instructions. The replacement was a success and works great!

Easy install, corrected hard to pull out handle. Shower handle like new. No leaks, pulls out with two fingers.

I always watch a lot of YT videos to learn how to replace this cartridge. I wish i took some pictures to document the install. Also, make sure to read a lot of the comments to get some good pointers. Very helpful. After i changed the tub spout with diverter, i wanted to change the shower cartridge. It wasn't smooth pulling the handle out. Doesn't look it has ever been changed. Make sure to use silicon grease. After i pulled out the old cartridge, i cleaned and greased the chamber where the cartridge goes in. When i tried to push the new cartridge in, it wouldn't go all the way in where i could screw in the locking nut. As i pulled it back out, i saw the O ring that was left in from the old cartridge. Its a good thing that i wasn't able to screw the lock nut. Otherwise i would have a major leak that i would not know about. I remember watching a video that the guy said to make sure there is nothing left in the chamber. Get a flashlight and shine inside. That tip i forgot to do.After i got the old O ring out, i greased the chamber again and slide the new cartridge in with no problem. I didn't install the cover plate yet. i screwed the handle back on to the cartridge and did a test run with the water on. Turning left to right, push and pull out several times. Looking to see if there was any sign of leaks. NONE! Then i removed the handle, put on the cover plate, and then screwed the handle back on.Now it operates smooth like buttah! Buying another to replace the master bathroom cartridge.

Price Pfister part works extremely well in Avanti single knob shower control. Old valve requires a gut busting pull to remove from plumbing manifold, but can be accomplished with confidence using longer central set screw and vise grip locking pliers

Easy to install

Easy to replace. no leaks at all. OEM part exact match.

Perfect fit. great.

I went to You Tube to see how to remove the old Price Pfister valve unit. That made a total frustration easy. The valve insert is working great now for about two weeks and it exactly matched to old one I removed.
