How long is the warranty?

Can I use this to repair a leaking handle?
Yes, this component is the primary fix for leaks resulting from worn-out valve internals.
What tools are needed for installation?
Generally, a screwdriver for handle removal and an adjustable wrench are sufficient for the replacement process.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels stiff after installation
Ensure the headpart is not cross-threaded during installation and verify it is not overtightened in the housing.

Check that the valve housing was cleaned of old scale and debris and that the internal seat is not damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the main water supply to the faucet is completely shut off. Remove the handle of the existing faucet to expose the old valve, then use a suitable wrench to unscrew the existing headpart. Clear any debris from the valve housing before threading in the new 45888000 ceramic headpart by hand, finishing with a wrench to tighten firmly but not excessively. The unit is compatible with standard 3/4-inch faucet plumbing systems. For long-term care, ensure that the water supply is filtered if you live in an area with extremely hard water to prevent mineral scale from interfering with the ceramic disks.
