faucet

Hoping someone can help troubleshoot an odd situation that I haven't been able to answer via many Google searches! The hot water in our primary kitchen sink has begun working inconsistently. It may provide hot water immediately and then get cold and take many many minutes to get hot again. Or...

I have an outdoor faucet timer (https://www.amazon.com/Orbit-62061Z-Single-Programmable-1-Valve/dp/B004INGS8S) that goes to a drip system for some plants outdoors. Every time it turns on, I can hear a loud bang inside my house. I tried getting a water hammer arrestor, and it helped, but it's...

My shower faucet broke and I can’t find a faucet that works with my old plumbing. I believe the plumbing is from 1975.04B11636-BD99-44CC-B760-30A069AEAA41 by Eric9 posted Jul 31, 2019 at 7:55 PM6A1F12BA-2B79-49C5-BBD7-F0DEEF12664F by Eric9 posted Jul 31, 2019 at 7:55...

Hi, We live in Arizona (not sure if that matters) and we are remodeling our kitchen. We're having new countertops put in with a new undermount sink provided by the fabricator. The fabricator installs the sink basin of course and we are responsible for everything else. Given the age and poor...

I have a cheap faucet in the kitchen and it’s getting slower and slower by the day. Problem is, it’s brand new. Well, the guy I bought the house from put it in right before we moved in and said he got it from Home Depot. Even with the aerator off it’s still pretty slow. Any suggestions before I...

Hi, I need help with figuring out why the used sink I am installing is leaking from the faucet. I'm not a plumber, just a dabbler, so any and all help is appreciated. See the attached photo. I took a small video but I guess it's too large. Thank you.

Hi all. I tried to remove the cold water stem from a faucet in order to replace the gasket. As I was attempting this, it cracked and then eventually about 1/3 of the nut broke off. Threads are exposed and the nut is loose when turning the nut itself. Thus far with the main valve on there...

Hi, I decided to replace my kitchen faucet of roughly 10 years, but I am unable to remove the giant nut holding the sink to the granite top. I have tried dousing the giant nut and bolt with wd40, liquid wrench, and even CLR but I still cannot get the nut to turn even the slightest bit. I am...

I just installed a new sillcock faucet to replace an outdoor faucet pipe that burst last winter. I have sweated pipes before and I felt I did a decent job on it. I heated up the bottom of the joint of the sillcock pipe where the threads are located, applied the solder and I was happy with my...

I recently replaced my slip-on tub faucet because the old one was leaking from the spout and the base where the opening is for the hex screws. Now the new one is also leaking from the base where the hex screws is when the water is on. I say leak, but it's actually pouring out of the opening at...

I just bought this house. Built in 1977. When i go to turn the water on at the sink sometimes it comes on, sometimes it does not come at all or its just a slow drip. I went to turn the water off below the sink but neither one of the knobs will turn the water off. Im weak in the plumbing area...

My laundry tub faucet has started leaking at the valve on the cold side. Fortunately, the leak only occurs when the valve is open. Here's a video I shot: It started when I began using a portable reverse osmosis filter attached onto the faucet. I figure the resistance caused the leak, or at...

We had a new water main installed on our street and since we have a lead supply line, they trenched from the sidewalk to the house (a real mess) and installed a new copper supply line. After they flushed the system with the outside faucet I began flushing the other faucets. I had to take the...

We purchased a new Delta kitchen faucet from Home Depot (Canada) about 6 weeks ago. We noticed it started making gentle squeaking sounds when the handles were turned. The squeaking sounds were like rubber rubbing against something in the handle or cartridge - you could feel this as you turned...

Hi Folks. So I got involved in replacing a bathroom sink faucet and so far it's been a royal PITA! The homeowner originally tried to remove the old hardware and stripped the brass under the sink to the point that I had to dremel out one of the pieces from the top. Did I mention I'm not a...

We put in a new bathroom sink & faucet about six months ago. Noticed when running cold water there is a "rotten" smell. Replaced the aerator and didn't help; replaced the plastic supply line and smell was gone....for a couple of months. It's back. It's only when the cold water is turned on...
