Hi there! My name’s Katherine Duchanne and I wanted to post my own personal review for my Peerless Faucet Bath + Kitchen combo!

My husband and I have been remodeling our home (we’re excited first-time homebuyers) for the past few months and finally made it to the kitchen and bathroom. Our kitchen came with a decent faucet from American Standard, but it was so old that the chrome just wouldn’t shine anymore—it was just this sad, dull gleam. It was a downright shame, so I started shopping for new faucets. We went to Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart, and even smaller, local hardware stores comparing brands and prices. I really liked most of the faucets that I saw, but they were from scattered brands: Moen, Kohler, Delta, Peerless Faucet, American Standard. . . there were just so many to choose from.

We decided to take a break and instead took a good hard look at our bathroom. The showerhead would have to be replaced soon, but what shocked us the most was our bathroom sink faucet. When we first toured the home, there was this lovely chrome faucet for the bathroom, and after talking to our realtor, she said it was possible that the old homeowners had taken their faucet with them! So that left us with two faucets that needed to be replaced ASAP.

We decided on a budget of around $300-350 for both fixtures. I really liked Moen, but after looking at their prices, we decided it just couldn’t be done. The majority of their kitchen faucets were $300+, with the less expensive ones being kind of strange-looking. Next, we checked Kohler. I loved the innovative touch interface, but then I realized only select models had those, and of course, those cost more than we could afford at the moment. Since we wanted to have a matching set (the same brand for both the bathroom and kitchen), we ruled out Kohler.

We looked at Delta and American Standard, but they were just too pricy. We had almost given up hope when we reached Peerless. For the most part, all the faucets we had looked at looked pretty much the same. When we finally started looking at Peerless, we actually liked some of the ones they had because they were nice-looking and in our budget.

So we started looking at models we liked and checking reviews, and wouldn’t you know it, one of the reviews mentioned this site: https://www.plumbersstock.com/category/292/peerless-faucets/

We figured we would check it out and Hallelujah! We found our perfect faucets for our kitchen and bathroom! We placed our order and a few weeks later, they arrived, ready to install! My husband installed both of them and after a few weeks of heavy, continual use, they still work like a charm. They’ve even started saving us money on our water bill! We’re so excited that there is a nice, affordable faucet company out there, we just wanted to say thanks!

I’ve included a photo of the faucets we purchased off Plumbers Stock. Total price? Just over 210 dollars with shipping included!

If you are the proud owner of a Peerless Faucet, congratulations! You must have found this guide because your Peerless Faucet has a leak, however. In that case then you have a single handle faucet, read on to get step-by-step instructions on how to fix it. If you have double handles on your faucet, I’m afraid this guide won’t be of much help to you.

To begin with, here is a list of the tools you will need to fix the leak on your single handle Peerless Faucet:

-          New cartridge fitting your model of faucet

-          Washers (some faucets don’t have washers)

-          Needlenose pliers

-          All-purpose grease

-          Regular pliers

-          Set of Allen wrenches

If by the end of this guide your leak persists, consider buying a new faucet here.

            STEPS:

1.      Stop the water supply that goes into your faucet. If there is a valve underneath your sink, turn it to the right to turn off the water. If there is no valve, turn off the water supply to the whole house.

2.      On your faucet, you will notice a small screw located at the base of your handle. This is your setscrew. Use your Allen wrench to remove this screw.

3.      Remove the handle. You should now be able to see your cartridge.

4.      At the bottom edge of the cartridge, there will be a horseshoe shaped clip. Carefully remove the clip with your needlenose pliers.

5.      Once the clip is removed, use your regular pliers to remove your cartridge. To remove your cartridge, twist it while applying upward pressure until it comes loose.

6.      You’ll see a cavity where the old cartridge sat. Use your all-purpose grease and coat a thin layer on the cavity.

7.      Take your new cartridge and place it in the cavity. Make sure the hole on the cartridge is pointing in the six o’clock direction.

8.      Reassemble the faucet by reversing the process in which it was un-assembled. Turn the water supply back on and make sure that the leak is gone.

9.      Discard any used parts (like the old cartridge).

That’s all there is to it! If this still wasn’t enough to rid your leak, double check that the cartridge is in the right position before calling for a professional. You may, depending on the model of your faucet, need to apply the all-purpose grease to the new cartridge as well as the cavity in which it sits.
