Newport Brass 1-002 Ceramic Widespread Valve Hot Cartridge

Perfect replacement for Newport Brass 850C. Hot side water was just a trickle. I was going to buy new faucets but they are now over $700 each. Replaced two valves, 1st took 10 minutes and 2nd took 5. All work is done from the top of sink. Only tricky part is each handle has 2 set screws. Works as good as new, not bad for a 13 year old faucet.

NOTE: These cartridges are 16-spline, 2-5/8", with 3 sets of threads. The hot water cartridge turns counterclockwise to open, and the cold water cartridge turns clockwise to open. I ordered and replaced both the cold and hot water cartridges for my 15-year-old Newport Brass 3-piece faucet. The new cartridges were an exact replacement and installed easily. I was going to replace only the leaking hot water cartridge, but after changing it out I noticed that the new hot water cartridge was buttery smooth compared the older cold water cartridge. As such I also replaced the cold water cartridge and the whole thing operates like new again. Word of advice, use anti-seize lubricant on the top threads where the bell housing screws down. Years down the road you'll be glad you did. The included photo shows the new water cartridge on the left, and the old on the right.

Original product works well

No retailer in my city had the part I needed to fix a dripping faucet (drip...drip...drip for five long years)! Calls to plumbers said they did not know where to get the part needed and suggested buying a new faucet. I watched a video on U tube watched how to fix a "drippy" faucet. I removed the cartridge and took it to a local hardware store and they told me the brand and part number I needed and suggested I get on Amazon. Viola! found it, ordered it and installed it. No more drip to contend with. Now I am one very satisfied customer and very happy.

This is the third hot water cartridge I’ve replaced on my Newport Brass kitchen sink. Always the hot side with a slow drip. I always thought cartridges were supposed to last longer and not leak, but that’s obviously not the case. It would be a lot easier and less expensive replacing a rubber washer, but that would hardly fit the “new and improved” motto, would it!

Works as described I will put to the test

It's worth the price to have a perfect fit and high OEM quality.

Saved about 20 dollars buying it here than at a plumbing store, Works well and was easy to replace.
