    Old Delta push button tub faucet still leaking after replacing push button

    The push button diverter should have fixed it. if you purchased an after market push button diverter (not original delta) then that might be the reason. sometimes the generic stuff doesn't always work right. good luck

    New Delta trim kit questions

    100% follow the directions and plumb to the ports they call out. It will not divert properly if at all if you plumb to a port that was supposed to be capped. Seen this mistake many times with this specific valve and the only solution is to open the wall again and plumb it properly.

    Looking for Faucet Supply Tubes for old A.S. Stop Valve

    **Its time to replace your Angle stops*** I have never been able to find supply lines to fit these old AS angle stops. They did indeed have its own thread. If you still have the old nut that fits it then you can build it... however finding a store or old plumbing shop with the hard 7/16th chrome...

    Need help identifying old Grohe shower/bathtub valve

    -The cartridge (46048000) is complete with the gaskets (5.1) ....... -Unscrew the plate from the wall anyway so you have full unrestricted access to your valve..... ...The cold water street shut off will turn both your hot and cold water off

    Cartridge is 46048000 part #2 just pulls off (it is friction fitted over an o-ring) once 2 is removed you will gain access to the cartridge. good luck

    Leaking faucet

    mfg is Delta, model is Leland....it is discontinued with two different generations. you need to id your generation and then purchase a new stem. The circled wye connector is a good way to id which generation you have. Either you have it or you dont. Good Luck

    1300/1400 delta cartridge

    maybe you purchased the wrong cartridge . the blue and white cartridge has shorter legs then the off white cartridge. Did you compare your old part to the new?

    Grohe Valve Modes

    Yes A & C can be pressed together. Just so your aware The flow rate will drop when multiple items are in operation. ie 9.5gpm when all three are pressed. Also Port A has the highest GPM so maybe do the body sprays on this one since you are driving two heads on this one port. Good Luck

    Kohler Tub Spout with Rear Thread Install

    It is possible, even likely that the plumber sweat a male adapter to the end of a copper stub out and screwed it into the drop ear 90 in the wall. Its done this way so either a screw on or compression style spout can be used. Did you try unscrewing that copper pipe? If you dont feel comfortable...
