I have a dripping faucet. I can't tell what make it is. After much work I managed to get the old cartridge out. I went to Lowes and got a hot/cold stem part 6s-1H/C for Stanadyne.It looked very similar although not 100% to the original. I put silicone spray on it. It was a tighter fit than the original but went in except for the last little bit. There is a little notch in the pipe and it didn't quite get in it. The top gasket seemed sealed. I couldn't get it to go further. I turned the water back on and put the handle on top and saw no dripping. The I started putting the screw that holds the handle or knob on and after getting it part of the way in the whole knob and cartridge shot out and sent some water to the ceiling. Could someone tell me, by looking at the pictures, if I maybe got the wrong one and why it didn't stay in? New to this kind of work but wanted to give it a try. Thanks
