1. Find the model number
The fastest route is the faucet’s model number. Look for it on the original box or receipt, the installation paperwork, or a tag on the supply lines under the sink. Pfister faucet numbers look like LG49-..., F-529-... or 0X8-... for tub and shower valves. With a model number we can pull the exact parts breakdown.
2. No model number? Take the cartridge out
- Shut off the water and open the faucet to drain it.
- Pop the handle cap, remove the handle screw and handle.
- Unscrew the bonnet nut or retaining clip and pull the cartridge or stem.
- Photograph it next to a tape measure, and count the splines on the stem tip.
Send the photo to our counter or bring the part in. We match it to the Pfister part number.
3. Know which type you have
| Type | Found in | Example part numbers |
|---|---|---|
| Single-handle ceramic cartridge | Kitchen and bath faucets | 974-0410, 974-0350, 974-1220 |
| Quarter-turn ceramic disc (hot / cold pairs) | Two-handle faucets | 910-0310 / 910-0320, 960-8060 / 960-8020 |
| Pressure-balance tub and shower cartridge | 0X8 series valves | 974-0420, 974-5319 |
| Compression stem | Older two- and three-handle tub and shower valves | 910-0130, 910-0340, 910-3740 |
| Roman tub cartridge or stem | Deck-mount tub fillers | 910-3050, 974-3590 |
Counter tip: Two-handle faucets usually need a hot-side and a cold-side part. They turn opposite ways, so order the pair unless you are sure only one side drips.
Questions we get
Are Price Pfister and Pfister cartridges the same?
Yes. Price Pfister shortened its name to Pfister, and the part numbers carried over. Many of our listings still say Price Pfister.
Where is the model number on a Pfister faucet?
Check the original box, receipt or install paperwork, or a tag on the supply lines under the sink. If you cannot find it, remove the cartridge and send us a photo.
