shower

The shower handle came off with the handle adapter still in it. I took out the set screw and reattached the handle adapter and then the handle. Now when I turn the handle it doesn't move as much as it should. Feels like something is blocking it. I can turn it like normal if I loosen the screw...

My wife and I have been remodeling our 1963 house for the last 25 years and we have finally gotten around to our bathroom. Yeah, we are a little slow. It's single level with cast iron horizontal line under a far too thin concrete slab that then transitions to a clay pipe lateral once it clears...

Hi I got this shower faucet with diverter which needs replacement but very tight access to see what's going on. I can't identify the brand.... Currently can open the water to the hose but the top rainfall head leaks lots of water as well. We can't give the kids a hose shower without getting...

Hello, I have the following Moen showerhead and handle/valve in an older home that I own. The showerhead is leaking pretty fast drips indicating that parts on the moen cartridge inside the handle are starting to fail. I have 2 questions: I am not sure what type of moen cartridge I need to...

Need help identifying the brand of this handle and trim kit to find a replacement. The valve and cartridge function fine so dont want to mess them if possible. The photos are from two different showers, one that is complete and has identical valve and cartridge. Thought it was Grohe but...

I'm working on a project with a client and my go to guy is on vacation. I'm hoping to get some help here. My client is remodeling their bathroom, and they would like to put the controls on a wall outside of the shower, but they will need a diverter on the inside to operate the shower head and...

I am working to replace my shower's cartridge, or at least replace an o-ring or two. In the process of removing the old cartridge, I came across this white cover which prevents me from removing it. I can rotate the cartridge with a pair of pliers but the white cover prevents me from taking...

Not sure if I'm just dumb or what, but I can't find any replacement shower\bathtub handles that have this same fitment. Is there a specific keyword or name I need to use to find them? Any help is greatly appreciated. Please see the photo of the inside of the faucet handle I removed. They are...

Hello, Ive been having a difficult time in finding a replacement Thermostatic Cartridge for my shower. The cartridge isn't branded, and I've looked everywhere. Chain stores, plumbing supply stores, mom/pop hardware shops, online... Trying my luck here to see if this community can help, or...

I have a shower that has had issues for a long time with sewer smell. I figured out that under the shower pan after the p-trap is probably an s-trap. Then the drain pipe goes outside. The shower drain is 15 inches to the outside of the house, where I could vent it pretty easily. If put a vent on...

I'm trying to get a wall hung toilet installed in my condo but failed permit review because as I understand it, the wet vented drain for the WC has to be at the same elevation or lower than other wet vented plumbing group fixtures such as the shower. Review Comment: "Bathroom, relocated toilet...

I stripped the screw and likely over-torqued the screw and it probably cracked the cartridge inside (we had hot water then we didn't). I used my stripped screw extractor bits and I can grab the screw but it just turns and turns without ever releasing from the cartridge. Looking at new knobs, it...

I have 40 psi water pressure in a 2-store townhouse and am looking for a shower trim that can handle such low water pressure. Currently, I am considering Delta shower trims and can't decide on H2Okinetic technology, In2ition or a separate head shower head and a handheld (which can handle better...

Hi everyone! We've had a bathroom shower that we never use because the previous homeowners decided to use half brick panels, almost like tiles of brick, as the wall's and floor. It gets moldy almost immediately with use, and it is a cleaning nightmare even if we routinely reseal it with a...

We had a contractor do our shower recently, and after several issues we're questionining more and more all the things where "this this is fine don't worry about it" essentially. One of these things is on the shower drain. The drain needed to be moved over about 1.5 ft or so. To do that, some...

I need help identifying replacement for my shower handle. One corner of the shower handle is damaged so it does not seat well onto the cartridge. When cartridge was replaced 2 years ago I believe plumber said it is Delta. The connection between the cartridge and handle has 4 straight edges...

Hello. I am new here. Posting to ask about an issue I am having. I am not a pro just a DIY guy who likes to learn. Question: I have a posi-temp moen single-handle shower system with no balancing valve. Uses a Moen 1222 cart. The tub spout had a constant small drip/stream of water coming from...

Questions for the gurus out there: I recently bought a 17 year old house in the DFW area and it has propane appliances. There is an electric recirculator that is operated by buttons at all the faucets and is on a timer. The house has Delta Monitor faucets throughout the house and I have had to...

An assistant plumber decided to run the pipe through the wall, rather than taking the most direct line, which would be from the shower drain to the main drain in a straight shot. When we asked the head plumber why this was done, he said he didn't know. Because we are forbidden to cut into the...
