    Shower control valve set too close to diverter tub valve

    Hi, we remodeled our bathroom and recently installed the new plumbing fixtures and found the tub spout was leaking at the wall when we pulled the diverter up for the shower. After troubleshooting with Delta, uninstalling the adapter and spout, o-ring, etc. the leak persists. Now we are told...

    Possible crossover issues in condo units

    Hi: I live in a 9 floor condo building. I’m on the 8th floor. No hot water tanks in units; hot water is pumped into units just as cold water is. A week ago, our building had the central hot water tanks inspected. This involved draining the tanks. After that, two or more riser tiers did not...

    Moen 1222 Positemp - Erratic mixing

    I'm having an issue (i think) with my Moen 1222 Positemp mixer being very erratic with the temperature of the shower from use to use. One day it'll work fine (mixes temp exactly in line with movement of the handle)... the next day we have to crank the handle all the way to the 9 o'clock...

    What brand is this?

    I have never seen one of these shower valves before. I’m trying to find a new cartridge for it. Retired plumber at the hardware store thought it might be a Posi-Temp but I’m not sure. Any thoughts on what it is and how to remove it? I can’t get the escutcheon off due to that metal disk in front...

    Too hot or too cold cartridge style

    Tub faucet is either giving very hot can't stand in it type almost scalding water or very cold icy. No nice warm shower. No happy medium temp. Just had cartridges replaced as it was not fully shutting off (constant drop). That drip is now fixed, but now it won't get mix of water. Seems only...

    Need help identifying Shower Control Valve

    I need to replace the handle to a shower, it is a single control (shower only, no diverter). It is a ball type valve turn left for hotter right for colder, water flow is increased by moving handle up, all the way down to shutoff.
