4. Istruzioni per l'installazione
Follow these steps to replace the ceramic disc cartridge in your Danze single-handle faucet. It is recommended to consult your specific faucet's manual for detailed disassembly instructions, as designs may vary.
4.1. Prima di iniziare
- Chiudere l'erogazione idrica: Locate the hot and cold water shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise until fully closed. Open the faucet handle to relieve any remaining water pressure.
- Raccogli strumenti: You may need a flathead screwdriver, Phillips head screwdriver, Allen (hex) wrench (often 2.5mm), channel lock pliers, and plumber's grease.
4.2. Removing the Old Cartridge
- Rimuovere la maniglia del rubinetto: Typically, there is a small decorative cap or plug on the handle that conceals a set screw. Carefully pry off the cap and use the appropriate screwdriver or Allen wrench to loosen the set screw. Once loose, pull the handle straight up and off.
- Accedi alla cartuccia: Remove any decorative trim rings or covers to expose the cartridge housing.
- Remove Locking Collar/Nut: The cartridge is usually secured by a threaded collar or nut. This may require channel lock pliers. Turn it counter-clockwise to loosen and remove. Be careful not to damage the threads.
- Estrarre la vecchia cartuccia: Carefully pull the old cartridge straight out. Note its orientation for reference.
- Ispezionare gli O-ring: Ensure that all old O-rings (often three connected in a 'Mickey Mouse ears' shape) are removed from the faucet body. If they remain, the new cartridge will not fit correctly. Clean any grit or mineral buildup from the cartridge housing.
4.3. Installing the New Cartridge
- Lubricate (Optional): Apply a small amount of plumber's grease to the O-rings on the new cartridge for easier installation and better sealing.
- Inserire una nuova cartuccia: Align the new DA507348N cartridge with the faucet body, ensuring it is seated correctly. Push it firmly into place.
- Secure Locking Collar/Nut: Reinstall the locking collar or nut, turning it clockwise to tighten. Do not overtighten, but ensure it is snug.
- Rimontare il rubinetto: Replace any decorative trim rings and then the faucet handle. Tighten the set screw to secure the handle.
- Ripristinare l'approvvigionamento idrico: Slowly turn the hot and cold water shut-off valves back on.
- Rubinetto di prova: Check for leaks and verify proper water flow and temperature control.

5. Manutenzione
Proper maintenance can extend the life of your faucet and cartridge.
- Pulizia regolare: Periodically clean faucet components, including the cartridge housing, to prevent mineral buildup. Products like CLR (Calcium, Lime, Rust remover) can be used for this purpose.
- Lubrificazione: If the handle operation becomes stiff, disassemble the handle and cartridge, clean the components, and apply fresh plumber's grease to the O-rings and moving parts of the cartridge.
- winterization: In outdoor faucet applications, ensure the water supply is completely shut off and the faucet is drained during winter months to prevent O-ring damage from freezing.
