How to troubleshoot common problems with brass diverter stems and cartridges

If you’re having trouble with your brass diverter stem or cartridge, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the problem. First, make sure that the diverter stem is properly installed. If it’s not, unscrew it and try screwing it back in again. If that doesn’t work, try replacing the washer on the diverter stem. If that doesn’t fix the problem, you may need to replace the entire diverter stem.

If the problem is with the cartridge, first ensure it’s properly seated in the housing. If it’s not, then remove it and try reinstalling it. If that doesn’t work, you may need to clean the housing and/or replace the O-rings on the cartridge. If the problem is with the flapper, first check to see if it’s stuck. If it is, then you may need to replace it. If not, try cleaning out the flapper seat and ensuring no obstructions in the drain.
