I recently bought a Kohler Parallel (K-TLS23502-4) bath and shower trim kit. Three weeks after the first installation, the tub filler pulled out from the wall, with water pouring out from behind the tub filler until I shut off the flow. The plumber who installed it returned. He tightened a screw that he thought might be responsible.
It has now been about 10 to 11 weeks since that fix. I have noticed the tub filler pulling back from the wall again, although not yet to the point that water is coming from behind it. The plumber recommends replacing this tub filler with one that uses a threaded connection rather an o-ring with set screw. I get how that would help but was hoping to continue using this tub filler if possible. Any advice on why this might be happening and how to fix it? Thanks.
