siliconing the sink valve cartridge - Fritz - 02-25-2023 prolly not a word either. in putting the kitchen faucet back together, for the time being .... I have always greased the cartridge threads and O ring. I assume in order top avoid the extraction debacle again, I should also be silicon greasing the escutcheon threads and stem hole ribs? That is the best idea? Re: siliconing the sink valve cartridge - Cary - 02-25-2023 I think I would use some ant-seize compound, rather than silicon grease on the threads. Re: siliconing the sink valve cartridge - Fritz - 02-26-2023 Permatex or the like? Re: siliconing the sink valve cartridge - RAMd®d - 02-26-2023 I think I would use some ant-seize compound, rather than silicon grease on the threads. Exactly. Silone lube might work if it were inconvenient to get actual an actual anti-seize compound. And one is not going to wait 30yrs before accessing the innards. I'd just look for a familiar brand name and make sure it said 'anti-seize' in the description.
