Had a call on a dripping tub valve. When I got through fixing it, it still dripped. Not what I had in mind; let me paint you a picture and let's see what comes back.
Delta t/s valve installed in a knee wall as a tub only set-up with just a tub spout. I took out the little Pillsbury doughboy cartridge and installed new springs and washers. Still leaked
Checked the expansion tank and the bladder was obviously blown out, so I replaced it. Still leaked.
Went and got a new cartridge and installed it. Still leaked.
The pressure was hovering around 79#and wouldn't adjust at all, so I went and got a new PRV and installed it. Still leaked.
So what's left?
The only suspect I have is maybe the after-market cartridge I put in there. I went shopping for a Delta brand and came back with a Danco. They got what they got (HD) . The cartridge I replaced may also be aftermarket, not sure. I installed a Danco 10347 made for Delta 1300 and 1400 series T/S faucets. It kind of went in not smoothly.
Feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks.
