Good Product, NO INSTRUCTIONS
Good Product, There are no instructions included. I had to check various YouTube videos for guidance. Valve needs to be installed perfect or it will fail and start dripping. Mark the old valve location in the stem sleeve for a reference point.

Not reliable stem peice
This would be my fourth replacement on the same bath tub which I'm not buying anymore from the handle breaking an the brass breaking where the handle is place an even the rubber piece tearing because of asessvie handling it's not worth buying thinking of replacing the whole bathtub handle into a 3 way for each to have its own bathtub handle cold n hot separate instead of the one piece combo I have now because I'm tired of buying the same part over an over again.

    Easy replacement for old contractor style Mixet shower valve. Works smoothly and saved me from having to replace the valve at a very high cost.

    These are too wide
    Bought this to replace a mixer cartridge in a 1974 built apartment. Couldn't get it inside the valve. Called Brasscraft who said that this is a common issue and the cartridge O.D. changed when they went from an all brass to brass/plastic valve. He recommended using the retainer to force it into the valve. I think this is a terrible idea since if it needs that much force to get it, it will damage the washer and good luck taking it out later. I reinstalled the old cartridge with a washer as a temporary fix since the non-replaceable seat has some damage anyways. Next we will install a new moen posi temp valve in its place and have years of no issues or possible hot burn liability. If your valve is pushing 50 years old, it might be worth the upgrade to a moen posi temp for $100 plus labor.

      May not fit your valve
      This cartridge is slightly larger in diameter than the one I was replacing. I phoned BrassCraft and an engineer told me he gets tons of calls about this. Apparently the valve you need to buy for the shower/tub valve is a Mixet MXT05. My Home Depot doesn't carry that part but they did have the Danco MX-1 which worked perfectly

      Easy item to install and if you have doubts watch the You Tube videos and you'll see. Pay attention to part number and positioning as they mention. You will also need some plumbers grease, a small round wire brush to clean out pipe and a new knob temperature control.

      My old one has been leaking. I bought a new one at Home Depot and installed by my plumber. It’s working ok, no more leaking! But Mixet shower cartridge always causes the same problem with Hot water is crossing over! That’s also happened to my other shower too! COLD side for hot water and HOT side for cold water!
