Why does my Artos Quarto faucet handle not stay open?
If your Artos Quarto lavatory faucet handle doesn't stay open, there could be two reasons:
- The top nut beneath the handle isn't tight enough
- The faucet cartridge needs replacement.
Follow these steps for solutions:
To start, locate the set screw on the back of the handle. Use an Allen key to loosen this small screw.
Once the set screw is loosened, remove the handle (part #3) and dress ring (part #4). This reveals the cartridge (part #6) and securing nut (part #5).
For tightening the nut, utilize a 1 3/32'' socket. Refer to the video link for visual assistance: YouTube Video
If tightening the nut does not fix the issue, a cartridge replacement is required. You can order the replacement cartridge directly from our website here: https://artos.us.com/products/xp-12980
These instructions will help you address the issue effectively.
