Frequently Asked Questions Pfister General FAQs How can I identify the type of cartridge that I have? If you're in the hunt for a cartridge, chances are that you have a drip or other issue and we want to get you taken care of quickly. We have several options on our site to help you identify, order and replace your cartridge and get your faucet in working order again.
Here are some steps to help you identify what cartridge you need: Let’s start by identifying your faucet. If you still have your packaging or instruction manual, the product model number (usually an 8 digit code, i.e. F-529-7AYY) is displayed on the product package and on the instruction manual right below the product name. If you don't know your model number, we have an easy-to-use filter feature to help narrow it down. On the home page hover over KITCHEN or BATHROOM. Then select the type of faucet you have (for example BATHROOM FAUCETS or CENTERSET). From there you can easily filter by Category, Finishes, Price / Style, or use the Advanced filter feature. Select your matching product. Click on INSTALLATION & SUPPORT to open the PARTS DIAGRAM and identify your cartridge.
If you've already removed the cartridge and want to identify a replacement that way, you can also search our cartridges directly if you know the part number or what it looks like. From the home page hover over PARTS & SUPPORT, click REPLACEMENT PARTS, and select CARTRIDGES. You can filter by cartridge type to help identify what you are looking for. Once you select a cartridge there is a thumbnail image that shows the approximate dimensions of the cartridge. You can also scroll down to get exact specifications.
Once you have identified your cartridge, it's time to order! If your product is covered by our Lifetime Warranty, please contact our customer service team for your product parts: 1-800-PFAUCET (1-800-732-8238) – it helps if you have the part number from step 2) To purchase replacement parts for your out of warranty faucet, visit our WHERE TO BUY page.

Please call us at 1-800-PFAUCET (1-800-732-8238) so that we can get you back to loving your Pfister product again. How do I clean and care for the faucet on my product? Regular cleaning and caring for your faucet is the best way to keep its beautiful finish lasting a lifetime!
Here are a few steps you can take to ensure your faucet continues to look great: Wipe down your faucet with a soft cloth dampened with warm water. This will help clear away minor build up and some spots. Make sure to dry the wiped down areas with a dry soft cloth.
If you've already tried that step and still have some buildup on your faucet, you can try adding some white vinegar mixed with water (a 50/50 ratio of each) with your soft cloth. Again, you will use a dry soft cloth to wipe away any excess residue.
If you're still seeing buildup or spots on your faucet, using a mild soap or mild cleaner may help. Please note that you want to avoid using any acids or solvents on your faucet as this may damage your faucet's finish and can void the warranty.
A great option for high use areas of your home or for those products that seem to collect water spots is Pfister's Spot Defense™ protective finish, which resists the daily build-up of fingerprints and water spots. Along with regular wiping down as mentioned in step 1 above, Spot Defense™ finished faucets are a great way to keep your kitchen and bathrooms looking pristine.
Hopefully these steps have helped you, but if you still have some questions, don't worry, we've added some additional steps you can review in the troubleshooting section on our website. You can also contact our service team using our "Ask a Question" section on our website or by calling us at 1-800-PFAUCET (1-800-732-8238). What should I look for when purchasing a new faucet?
