For one-handle faucets with a 1225 cartridge, replace the cartridge.

For two-handle faucets, we recommend replacing the cartridge. The part number for a two-handle kitchen cartridge is 1224. You can purchase these parts online by visiting our Replacement Part Store.

For one-handle faucets with a 1255 or 4000 cartridge, replace the cartridge.
