valve

Hoping someone here can help me identify this valve stem from a 1950s-era two-handle tub/shower setup. It’s from a home with original tile and plumbing, and I’m trying to find a replacement for a worn/broken stem. Details: • There are two separate controls (hot and cold), one for each...

I want to install a splitter between the old toilet supply pipe (which appears to be copper or brass) and the existing shutoff valve so I can attach a spray hose. The house is 65 years old and the pipe looks to be original. The valve is a Sharkbite 1/4 turn with what looks like a 3/8” female NPT...

Hello all, I haven't posted here in a bit, been in hospice for a few months, but I tricked them and didn't die. I don't know if anyone here is into MSLA 3D printing, however I thought this might be of use to someone... When I got out I found that the moron my wife hired to replace the media...

I will be replacing a 12 year old softener and iron filter and I would like to know people's opinions on: 1) The most reliable control head / valve 2) The easiest to maintain I know that these may be different, but I'm hoping I can there's something out there which is very reliable and easy to...

Hello, I'm looking for some advice on replacing my bath valves and I'm not real sure where to start. I've actually already replaced these once 16 years ago, but the local parts store that I bought the parts from no longer sells them and I didn't keep the information. I'd like to replace the...

Helping a friend with a failed diverted valve in a home built in 1937. Tried to find some matches at Home Depot but had no luck. Would love some help! Thanks! Counting 18 teeth on the stem.

I'm trying to determine what application this style valve would be used in. The only markings are Price Pfister USA 23083.

I’m trying to figure out what could possibly cause what appears to be a strange reaction inside a newer shower valve. I have a Kohler valve that is about 1.5 years old. Got around to replacing the cartridge but the cause seems to be some build up around the valve that shifted the o rings. Had...

I was shutting off the water supply via the shut-off valves shown (circled in red) in order to replace the shower valve cartridge. However, they're in pretty bad shape and leaking a bit as I was turning them to the off position. I need to find replacement stems for them, but I'm not sure how to...

Hi, the water line in my house is 1.25” after the pressure regulator (Larger from the street). For what it’s worth, the water heater is 1”. The house has 4.5 bathrooms. 2 people unless we have guest. I’m planning to buy go with a clack softener. My understanding from UPC is that I should use a...

Hello, I am having an issue with my shower and I was hoping to get some advice on what could be causing it. Every morning, I make sure to push down the diverter valve after turning off the shower valve. However, lately I have been noticing that the diverter valve is being found in the closed...

I just discovered the pipes run to the tub/shower valve stick out past the studs below the valve and above the valve before the pipe goes back more inside the wall cavity about 1' up. If the tile guy was planning to use backerboard, I believe this would pose a problem but if he floats the wall...

Having an issue with the Symmons shower/tub valve (shocking I know) . The volume of water/pressure is low, and the temp does not get very hot. The diverter (ta-25a) was stuck, so I removed it. it is working now (unrelated but I wanted it fixed) Removing the shower head, the volume of water...

No make or model... its a single handle. I already removed handle and was able to unscrew the back plate, but don't know what to do next. I tried pulling it, but without more knowledge I didn't want to force it. Any ideas what to do next?

I have been working on this shower for a long time and am completely stuck on the purchase of a new faucet/trim kit. I threw away the old hardware already which I will never ever do again. Please help. Is this the MOEN 2400? I have already purchased a 1200 replacement cartridge that I think...

Hoping a new post brings fresh ideas. I have a 25 year old Moen positemp bathtub /shower faucet. It's been dripping for years so I finally decided to tackle it. I had waited because there's no shut off valve and I was afraid to shut off the whole house in case I screwed it up. Got my cartridge...

Hello - I found an issue with my water intake valve where there is a drip from the valve when the water is on. It drips from the right most side of the valve where there is a horizontal line/cutout. The valve seems to be one solid piece with no removable parts so I think my only fix for this is...

Hello, longtime lurker here with my first post! I'm a DIYer plumbing a tub/shower with Moen m-core parts. I had intended to follow the layout in the first image from Moen's online design guide, which caps the shower port and includes a twin ell. However, the instructions with my mixing valve...

I need to swap these valves out but am not confident in the approach. I've replaced sink valves before.

I have a hot water cast iron radiator system. It has separate supply and return pipes. My kitchen had slant fins that never got warm. I do not want to rehash that issue. The kitchen had not seen heat since at least before 1998 I recently learned. In a desperation to troubleshoot I cut the 3/4...
