Tip Toe Drain Cartridge for Sterling A8179

chat iconWHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY…

“These people were extremely helpful in taking me through replacing a 25 year old hard water frozen cartridge on my Philrich sink faucet. They were able to identify the correct part I needed from a photo I sent (I had it figured out wrong). I was pleasantly surprised they had an obscure part like this, but they also told me how to extract the old one when I couldn’t get it out. They said to unscrew it after I had concluded from YouTube the old cartridge was supposed to just slide out. It threaded out as they said and saved me buying a cartridge extractor and a hernia. The whole experience has been excellent. ”

“I was very happy with Noel’s Plumbing. I was searching for a fairly rare part and saw it listed on their website. After placing my order, I was informed that the item was actually on backorder. Noel’s Plumbing was upfront and honest right away, letting me know it might take some time to arrive. Throughout the wait, they consistently kept me updated, which I really appreciated. When the part finally came in, they shipped it out immediately. It arrived exactly as described and was precisely what I needed. Excellent communication, honesty, and follow-through. Thank you, Noel’s Plumbing! ”
