The Price Pfister faucet parts that regularly wears or fail are the rubber seals. Constructed of stretchy soft material they are used to shut off the valve mechanism inside the faucet. Every time you tighten up or rotate the knob to shut it, the stem forces it towards the valve seat. Each time you shut the faucet, the rubber seal is packed in between the stem and the valve seat. Imagine how many occasions you do this in one day. Eventually, the rubber seal can lose its rubberize characteristics and will become brittle, breaking into smaller fragments.

When purchasing Price Pfister replacement parts it is encouraged to buy an additional set or two if you have several faucet around your place, keep it in a safe place for an instant replacement next time you need it. Replacing your kitchen faucet by yourself will save you quite a lot of money on service expenses but if you don’t know what you are doing or if you don’t have any kind of experience doing them or if you do not have the correct plumbing gear, it is better to call for a professional plumber to prevent further damaging it.
