Pfister Quarter-Turn Cartridges: Hot Side vs. Cold Side

Most two-handle Pfister faucets use quarter-turn ceramic disc cartridges: a quarter turn of the handle takes them from off to full on. The hot and cold sides turn in opposite directions, so they are sold as separate parts.

Pfister also makes a reversible quarter-turn cartridge (910-9000) that works on either side.

Which side is which?

Hot is on the left, and the two handles open in opposite directions. Pull one cartridge at a time so you do not mix them up, and replace both if the faucet is old. The second one is rarely far behind.

Questions we get

Can I use two hot-side cartridges?

Then both handles would turn the same way, which feels wrong and can confuse guests. Use the matched hot and cold pair, or a reversible cartridge like 910-9000 where it fits.
