Got'er done ...

 

What faucet?

 

Brizo, it's Delta's high end brand.

 

I installed those once a couple years ago and did the exact same thing.

 

That's a strong magnet, and it's impossible to remove only pulling up on one side. I thought i was screwed until i found a marking flag to make a double hook out of. It still took a good tug to remove the adapter.

 

Hey, that's good to know. I don't know if their trims on thermostatic and diverter valves are like that as well but we will be installing it all when the job is ready for finals. I would probably do the same thing.

So far the shower and diverter valve trims have not been odd. The only kinda odd one mounted like the similar odd Delta trim that you screw that oval plate to the valve and then press and turn the escutcheon to lock some tabs into that plate. No weird magnets on the handles, but that's not saying they don't make it for some.

 

Its as if a convention of designers and engineers got together and and there mantra was" lets see how much we can over engineer holding an escutcheon to the wall" :blink:

 

I found this thread when I was trying to replace the cartridges in my Brizo Levior bathroom faucets. Include me into the fact that there is a spline adapter that fits around the cartridge in these Brizo handles. Desplaine adapter looks like a thick gear with a fine grooved circumference at the base. there is a screw at the very top that attaches the spline adapter to the top neck of the cartridge.

In my particular case, the spine adapter model number is RP 92382. Which connects to cartridges RP100222 (hot) and RP100223 (cold).

When removing one of the handles, the entire spline adapter seems to have bonded with the interior surfaces of the handle, making the removal far more difficult than just pulling up and breaking the magnetic seal. Maybe it was glued by an unknown plumber before me. I don’t know. It sure made my afternoon difficult to figure it all out.
