Upon replacing the tub faucet (using a tub faucet rebuild kit - knobs, stems, etc), I stripped the hot water's seat. It came out, but upon putting it back in, it just keeps on turning, thus I conclude it is stripped. Would this cause leaking (warm water is coming out)? (It had held without leaking for about a month as when I put the seat back in, it was barely tight, but now it is very loose and now I have a lot of leaking without any other reason than that).
If it is stripped, am I left with having to replace the pipe fittings? Any other solution(s)? suggestions?
After double checking the seat, it looks a little stripped, but I can't be absolutely sure one way or another. I'll look for a replacement seat in the meantime.
