A technician demonstrates how to replace the cartridge on an Ella two-piece faucet set, addressing issues like faucet drips or a stiff handle.
The video begins by showing how to remove the spout handle of an Ella two-piece faucet. This involves taking off the decorative bolt cover, loosening the allen bolt with a three millimeter allen wrench, and then lifting the handle. This step reveals where the allen bolt is attached.
Next, the technician removes the old cartridge. This process includes unscrewing the escutcheon plate, loosening the brass locking collar, and lifting out the cartridge. When installing a new cartridge, it is important to align the two guide posts with the receptacles in the spout housing so the cartridge seats correctly. The brass locking collar is then replaced and tightened securely without over-torquing.
Finally, the faucet is reassembled. The escutcheon plate is hand-tightened, the faucet handle is placed back onto the cartridge, and the allen bolt is tightened securely without over-torquing. The bolt cover is then replaced, ensuring the red side is on the left for hot water and the blue side is on the right for cold.
