How CartridgeID works on a jobsite

Submit Your Cartridge →
01
Pull it and snap a photo

Get the cartridge out of the valve, then open CartridgeID on your phone. One clear shot, ruler in frame if you have one. Tub or shower valve? Those pull differently.

02
Specialist ID, usually within an hour

A trained CartridgeID specialist reads the part against the full manufacturer catalog. Real humans, decades of experience. See what we check, or read our cartridge identification guide.

03
Approve the quote

Approve and pay through a secured Stripe payment portal. Tracking IDs are shared so you know every step of the process.

04
Install and invoice

Delivered in 3-5 days standard, with 2-Day Air and Next-Day available depending on location. Right part, first try, no callback.

Real orders, real people, real matches

Questions about finding your faucet cartridge

What if I don't know what brand my faucet is?+

You don't need to know the brand. Snap a photo of the removed cartridge next to a ruler and submit — our specialists identify the brand and model from body geometry, spline count, and stem details.

What if the model number is worn off my cartridge?+

Worn-stamp cases are one of our specialties. We identify from body geometry, threading pattern, spline count, and stem length. No model stamp needed.

What if my cartridge is discontinued?+

Discontinued cartridges are one of our specialties. We work across current catalogs and older reference material to find the correct aftermarket replacement.

How much does the identification service cost?+

Identification is free. You only pay for the aftermarket replacement part if you approve the quote and place the order.

What brands do you support?+

40+ brands including Moen, Delta, Kohler, Price Pfister, Grohe, American Standard, Symmons, Chicago, T&S, Newport Brass, Kingston, Peerless, and specialty/discontinued lines.

Standard 3-5 business day ground shipping. Next-Day options are available at checkout depending on your location. Parts ship direct from our trusted suppliers.
