6. Zainstaluj nowy wkład: Insert the new Gerber 163079 92-298 cartridge into the faucet body, ensuring it is correctly oriented. The tabs or notches on the cartridge should align with the corresponding slots in the faucet body. Ensure the O-rings are properly seated.

10. Kran testowy: Operate the faucet handle through its full range of motion (hot, cold, mixed, on, off) to ensure proper function and check for any drips or leaks.

Note for 92-258 Replacement: If replacing an older 92-258 cartridge, you may need to use the limiting ring provided with the new 92-298 cartridge and remove the original limiting disc with a tab from the old assembly. Ensure proper alignment for optimal performance.
