Faucet repair

[whtshrk]

Can this faucet cartridge be replaced? I don't want to break it trying. When water is on there is a loose spot close to off. Just right spot for showering.

You can buy replacement 1/4 turn faucet cartridges for about $14 plus shipping: https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories...YaAsVkEALw_wcB

You can buy the entire faucet, ready to install for $18 on Amazon with free shipping: https://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-Valte...5410054&sr=8-2

If it were me, I'd spend a few extra bucks and buy a "upgraded faucet that is more reliable" rather than fix/replace the same type.

For most people, it's not worth the hassle to risk breaking a faucet stem or stem seat trying to repair something that costs the same as the parts to fix the original. YMMV

I was thinking they were these though:

It could be a Utopia faucet, but usually the entry level Keystone trailers have either Phoenix or Centurion faucets, which are "low grade Phoenix"... You'd be better off spending $25 and buying a better faucet than spending $15 on parts for that one, only to have the diverter fail next..... "Low bid parts" are exactly that, "Low performance/low reliability parts".....

So I tried taking out the cartridge today and I don't think it is replaceable.
I'll replace the faucet after we close on our house next month. We've been living in our camper now for a month and a half. It doesn't leak, that's a good thing. Just loose inside and hard to adjust but we can live with it for a few more weeks. Thanks again.
