Recently purchased a Moen Caldwell with Valve, and shower head (Shower only) Model 82495EPBRP for a shower remodel. I connected everything up today and turned the water on. Had a drip at one lower connection (just needed to tighten a little more), and up at where the shower head will go had two drips (one at the Cap and one at the pipe). I tightened these and stopped it but as I got to thinking about it I was wondering why it was leaking at the shower head? There should not have been any pressure at the shower head to cause this to leak there. According the instructions on Moen's website this handle should only turn 270 degrees (6 O'clock to 9 O'clock counterclockwise). I put my wrench on the valve end and it spins round and round as much as you want to turn it either direction!!!!
Can anyone tell me why this would be happening? Did I get a faulty valve or? It is a posi-temp valve but I have not done anything with that yet as I am only roughed in currently. Please Help ASAP!
