valve

We are selling our home and need to install the trim for our shower. I called and sought local help, no one seems to know. We renovated the shower a year ago but didn't keep the trim or think to replace the value. I don't want to have to remove and replace the tile. Does anyone have any idea...

I've read what I could about this topic and have made a number of changes but still have the problem. I am renovating a house and one of the showers I ran 1/2" PEX from the valve to the shower head. When I turned on the tub faucet it would drip quite a lot from the shower head. I never...

I'm trying to shut off the sink so I can fix the leaky faucet.... but these valves on this particular sink are different than all the others in my house. Picture 1 looks like you'd turn it 90 and it would shut off, however it just spins in circle. So I thought maybe it was a push pull but as you...

Another one of the millions affected by the freeze down here in Texas. Have not been able to get a plumber out and cannot get moved back into our house until we get this issue repaired. We drained all the water lines before the freeze so we were fortunate to avoid any broken pipes. However, we...

Hi there! My wife and I recently bought our first detached home! We bought a Moen Trim Kit for our upstairs bathroom, however, when the plumber we hired to install it (among many other things) came to do the work, he said he could not install it because he has never seen this valve before...

Hi all, New member (and novice!) but have a temperamental problem with my Drayton MA1 3-way actuator. It’s recently started sticking on the hot water and I need to lift the actuator off the valve for it to switch over to CH. Once it switches back to HW I put it back onto the valve and it works...

Hi, Looking for some advice on repacking a valve stem on a hot water radiator. I have tried tightening the gland nut a few times, and there is still a slow seep of water. I purchased graphite cord to repack the valve, and I understand that I would just take the gland nut off and wrap it around...

Ah, the joys of older home ownership (1974). We thought our major plumbing issues were dealt with when we got rid of our orangeburg sewer line and our rusted out galvanized supply line to our house. It's still galvanized under the house, but we live in a very dry climate and the pipes/joints...

Hello, I'm hoping this is a simple question/answer as far as the terminology I should be searching for on Home Depot/Lowes/Amazon/etc. I want to find an attachment for my kitchen sink that would essentially allow for two separate aerators/valves to be attached simultaneously, and I can switch...

Hi, just after the mains stopcock under my kitchen sink I have a tee, one pipe to drinkable water+washing machine and the other to the loft cisterns (talking about an open vented pumped S-plan system, standard here in UK, aka "hydronic heating system" in USA). I was wondering whether it is safe...

I need to control the flow of water into a continuous mixer to within 0.1 Gallons per minute. Right now I'm using a normal gate valve but it is hard to get it to stay within 0.1. It needs to be able to go up to 10 GPM, city water pressure. I don't think my problem is due to water pressure...

I'm replacing an old dishwasher with a new whirlpool dishwasher. There is an old water inlet attached to the pipe coming out of the floor. There is also a water inlet valve attached to the new dishwasher. Can I use both of them at the same time? How do I wire them both together? Am I better off...

Hello, thank you for looking at this post, hopefully you can share some of your knowledge with me... ----------------------------------------------- Issue: None-functioning Taco 006 Circulator, causing low to no heat in the house. ----------------------------------------------- SPECS: Unit...

Trying to help a neighbor fix a leaking shower hot water stem. The back side where the rubber washer goes is broken. Need to get a new shower stem, need help figuring out what i need 20190922_181426 by Strider2323 posted Sep 22, 2019 at 6:16 PM20190922_181433 by Strider2323 posted Sep 22, 2019...

I had a new tub surround and shower valve installed. The brackets used to mount the valve (see photo) in the wall were not used. At this point, I've let the installer go and have no way to attach the escutcheon plate to the wall of the shower since there are no screw holes. An extensive google...

Hello all, in need of help! So I buy this classic single lever delta trim kit and try to install it, but after installing it (I did it without swapping out the old cartridge at first), notice that the handle is not like its supposed to be on the box..on the box it's supposed to be at a 90...

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...

We have a slow leak that appears on the 2nd floor ceiling in the general area of the 3rd floor shower. The leak only occurs when the shower is running and it takes a good 10 minutes before you start to see the water, so I think it's pooling somewhere in the walls before it builds its way to...

I recently had my water heater replaced with a tankless unit. It's an old house and during the install one of the valves started leaking, the contractor used a temp fix to connect it to the non leaking valve with a hose. I want to replace both valves but not sure what type of valve it is. It...

Hey! Trying to rebuild this valve if possible and can't seem to find anything like it thus far. Only thing I can see on the brass valve is a large "K" and that is all I can see. The plastic cover pieces and knob have some small part numbers but can't seem to find much with those either. It is a...
