Hi all,
My plumber just installed a Moen T2133BN one handle tub and shower faucet with diverter spout. The shower head leaked from behind the threads. I tightened the head and it slowed the leak but drops still come out...is this normal? He did use tape. Should I take it off, retape and reinstall? Also, the diverter spout seems to be very delicate. It is fairly loose and one accidental knock would probably break it. It is attached to copper. The plumber told me that it is due to the inside of the spout having plastic parts. The diverter doesn't completely shut off the water stream but this is apparently the norm for Moen. Can I grout around the diverter to attach it more securely? I tightened the hex screw underneath and that didn't do much. So much for spending almost 200 dollars on a new faucet!
Thanks for all your help,
MEdwards
