Bathtub Faucet

Replacing Kohler Mix Kit Cartridge in a Bathtub/shower faucet. If you have trouble with no hot, or only hot/only cold try replacing just the pressure balance unit. (In this case it is Kohler Pressure Balancing Unit GP500520.)

Thanks, I ordered the cartridge from Kohler and replaced it myself. You saved me a couple hundred bucks on a plumber.

@nseybert Hope you took yourself out for dinner and used the rest for good.

Thanks for the video, i am using the same brand in my 20 stories building. My problem is i am not getting any cold water in the shower, spout, sink and toilet. When I remove shower control, mixing valve and pressure balance and then open the shut off valve for cold water, lot of cold water comes but as soon as I put back everything, i loose cold water. Please help.

@tasq10001 I'm no expert. Sounds complicated and probably a task for a real plumber.

Thanks for the video. Plumber just left after telling us our cartridge needed replaced and he'd have to order the parts. (we need this done on 4 faucets!). He said he'd come back and replace them for $260, plus the cost of parts. So we called the 1-800-4KOHLER, described which cartridge we needed and they are sending us 4 of them via fed ex at no charge!! No questions asked! Now we can do it ourselves when they arrive! Thanks!!!

@JMeBo Great. Don't forget to make use of your plumber for other projects.
