    Can't connect "simple" push-in Faucet connection

    So, I bit the bullet & removed the faucet, took out the collet & found the rubber o-ring was broken. Luckily, I had an identical one to replace it. Much easier working on the counter than contorted in a cabinet.

    Can't connect "simple" push-in Faucet connection

    Help identifying shower valve

    Thanks for your quick replies. I took pictures of all the plumbing and wiring for future reference before I closed up the walls, but they're closed now. I haven't grouted the tile yet though, so if it's going to be a nightmare finding trim, better to rip it out now I guess. I'd like to leave...

    Hi all. My name's Chris. Thanks for all the useful info I've gotten while lurking in the forums. I'm remodeling my bathroom but left the existing shower valve in place. The closest I can find appears to be similar to a Kohler 303-k, but mine looks slightly different. I'm hoping the Kohler...
