View Full Version : Shower faucet problems  08-05-2007, 11:38 AM
We recently had our tub enclosure tiled and the tilers didn't
leave enough space to put the escutchen back in place, so I
removed the faucet handle and figured I would nip away some of
the tile. When I put everything back the way I thought it was
supposed to go, the water doesn't turn off! There is hardly any
difference between when the knob is in the up or down direction!
I am including 2 images which may help. I think it is an old
Delta model faucet, but couldn't find any markings. It is the
single handle type, and has three holes (see image) I think
there were washers and springs in all 3 holes but I couldn't
swear to it because when I pulled the front off the springs came
out and I could only find 2. So I went to the hardware store and
bought a Delta replacement kit and thought it would be an easy
fix, but it made no difference at all. So I hope I'm missing
something obvious. Thank you for any help.  08-05-2007, 01:25 PM
