    Can't remove shower handle

    Ahhhh right... thank you! Turns out that the Allen screw was holding fast. Tried to remove it a few months ago, but must have had the wrong size. Purchased a new allen set and was able to remove the handle without a problem. New handles, new life... happiness. Interesting that the handle...

    Can't remove shower handle

    Happy Holidays! I'm at my mom's and one of the faucet handles in the shower has become completely loose and just spins without turning the water on or off. Up until today, the handle would catch on the stem gears so it was still usable, but that is no longer the case. See photo or link for...

    Plastic spacers for pedestal sink

    Hi Jim - great suggestion! I was able to locate 1" long, 3/8" ID nylon spacers at Home Depot (kind of a miracle) and some new neoprene and metal washers. I needed an extra 1/2" spacer on one side, so I lucked out by grabbing a set of those. I still managed to make a mess, but my sink is...

    Plastic spacers for pedestal sink

    Thank you for the reply. Not sure if this picture shows the issue very well. The recessed area under the sink is about 1"-1.5" deep. I did find an installation kit that includes two white "spacers" but these don't look quite as thick or deep as the ones I had. It would not surprise me if...

    Shower Head Leaking

    the valve is a PP and model imprinted on it is 14. It's about 3-4 months old. When I removed it the gasket was toast, disintegrated. I took the gasket from the old one which was still good. Still leaks like crazy. Then I replaced the valve with the old one. Still leaks like crazy. It's...

    Shower Head Leaking

    I have a shower head leak. I've replaced the gasket and the faucet is new. It is still pouring out of the shower head (hot water). There is no tub. Could it be the shower head itself? Or is there something going on behind the shower? This sucks
