Plumbing success

Starting to think I’m ok at plumbing.

Replaced 2 leaky valves in 2 trips to the store.

Pro-tip for future self: sediment causes the ceramic cartridges to fail, and using the shutoff causes sentiment: run the system wide open into a bucket before installing new cartridges.

Thank you Sean at Aurora Plumbing.

Also, you bought the hot water cartridge and zip tied it to the riser tubes. Don’t buy a new one.
