Ny nice way of identifying which model of Peerless Bathroom Faucet I have

faucet

I have a 2 handle bathroom faucet which says Peerless on the underside. It came with the house when I bought it and I don't have the packaging or manual for it. I am trying to identify the correct stem unit assembly for it to stop a small drip and I know how you have to get the right part for the right faucet or it will not fit. I tried the website for Peerless and the 3 candidates I came up with for replacement part are (although none look like the replacement part):

  1. RP70201 – Got a pack, doesn't fit
  2. RP71444 – Doesn't match the look of the old part, but it is a replacement for many models. Could try that next
  3. RP41701 – Doesn't match the look of the old part, but readily available

So is there anywhere/any way I can tell for sure. I could post a picture of my faucet if helpful. I could even uninstall my old cartridge and post a picture of that if it helps.

Best Answer

Since the cartridge is out, take it to a plumbing supply house not your local big-box home improvement center.

Odds are very good that they'll either

  • know off the top of their heads,
  • be able to find a part number that you're missing,
  • or just simply walk to the back and open 12 boxes looking for one that matches and sell you that one.

One additional tip: Call ahead. Some places will only sell wholesale, i.e. to commercial plumbers. Others will sell retail, i.e. to you.
