first off, put the spring in the faucet big end down. then put the black rubber boot seal in next and push it into place. Then place the Stem in but be sure to line up the notches before you screw it all down. I hope the will help you....

Is it brass, stainless, plastic or rubber? I think a stainless one might be for the knob screw, I don't think there is one inside, it might just have fallen into the pack. We get weird stuff all the time that doesn't belong. Hope this helps.

While there are several cartridges that look similiar to what you have posted, Danco it self is an aftermarket parts replacement business. From my point of observation, your posted pic is of a Delta stem which visually has some distinctive attributes. Most every thing Danco makes is a copy or OEM replacement part packaged under their name.

Danco is an after market faucet parts company that recreates parts cheap for hardware supply chains and such. You would be ahead to try and find the brand of faucet you are trying to repair and get OEM parts. They will probably cost a little more, but will hold up a lot better. I hope this helps.

Danco is an aftermarket supplier of plumbing repair parts for almost all major brands. Look for a danco part that looks like the part you need then check the "compatible with" list on the package.

Thae stem you got that said hot/cold were designed to fit old style cross handle faucets. So both hot and cold turned the same way. If the cold side you are replacing turns the opposite direction then you will need to get a cold stem. Danco does make them. Ask the retailer where you purchased the H/C stem. I hope this helps..

Each manufacturer has a different size shower spout. As long as the fitting doesn't leak, put a flange up against the wall and if needed, use calking to fill the space. This is an aesthetic issue only.

Most of those have a quarter turn plastic pie section at the top of the stem. It reverses for right or left (cold or hot) faucets. Turn off the water supplies, remove the top of the faucet and handles, put the pie shaped sections on opposite sides, reinstall the handles and turn the water supplies back on.

Is this a question?

The issue might be the tub diverter spout. Most such do not seal well. It is a matter of jiggling the spout knob. It should seal better with a little experimenting.

Umm, yeah I think so....
