6. Insert the new Pfister 9743210 cartridge into the valve body, ensuring it is properly seated and aligned with the hot and cold water inlets.
7. Secure the cartridge according to your specific valve assembly's requirements (e.g., retaining nut, clips).
8. Set High Temperature Limit Stopper: The high temperature limit stopper must be set during installation to prevent scalding. Consult your faucet's specific trim kit instructions for precise adjustment.
9. Reinstall the trim plate and faucet handle. Ensure the handle operates smoothly. If the handle does not fit fully onto the shaft, minor adjustments to the shaft keys (e.g., shaving a small amount of plastic) may be necessary for some older handle designs.
10. Turn the water supply back on slowly and check for leaks.
