I have had this same problem in the past, Delta bathroom item, all of a sudeen drips for a few seconds after shutoff and never did before. The cartridge was fine, the problem was seat and springs either worn, or replaced with aftermarket . Since your problem began without maintenance...

Speaking of expansion, I use a 5/8 barbed connector to repair a broken hose. Since the connector is going into 2 ends, I can't get the leverage necessary to seat the cut ends completely. I have put soapy water, silicone spray and other slick stuff onto the barbed ends and it only helps a little...

Lifetime warranty doesn't expire when the product is discontinued. A reputable manufacturer should substitute the closest replacement product available to make it right. Contact the manufacturer and tell them that.

Thanks. Will do.

Thanks to both of you "regulars". To answer you, havasu, this is the air chuck that screws on to the end of the hose of my 25 gal air tank, not quick release. Do you still think Rectorseal or white teflon paste will work better than standard teflon tape? I'm willing to try anything and play...

I have admired the expertise of the forum contributors for years and would appreciate advice on what is not exactly a plumbing question, but almost.:rolleyes: The threads around the chuck of my air tank leak air, even though I have sealed with teflon plumber's tape. Would pipe dope be better...

Appreciate the advice, as always. Thank you all.

I disassembled and reassembled, did not touch the seats and springs. The plastic adjuster was ever so slightly loose, so I tightened it. Now there is no leak and normal function is restored. What confused me was the faucet worked fine with the handle removed in terms of proper ball positioning...

I had a slight drip on an old delta single handle kitchen faucet. I replaced the seats and springs for hot and cold. After reassembly it drips unless I fiddle with the handle to find the sweet spot, and then there is no leak. If I pull the handle forward beyond the no leak sweet spot, there is a...

I didn't think of that. Good point, Get far enough away from the split to get to healthy pipe. By the way, I have noticed you are new to the forum, and you are contributing quite a lot of useful info in a short time. Thanks for that, and welcome!

Thank you, sarg. If I understand you, copper pipe called 1/2" actually looks on the outside to be 5/8", so we are referring to the inside diam. Therefore, the sharbite is called 1/2 in to match the internal diam, even though we see the outer diam of the pipe. Is it me, or is this illogical?

I appreciate the reply from a forum member whose name I recognize as a regular contributor. Please reread my post and you will see I am trying to predict the size fitting I need based on customary applications of copper pipe to a toilet. Access is difficult and I don't want to remove the pipe...

West TN home built in 1983. Heat is out. My toilet water line is apparently frozen due to current weather. It is the only water line that goes from the crawl space thru the external wall rather than up from the ground and interior to the wall. It has not thawed yet and I have mounds of snow and...

Just curious since no followup--Is my suggestion above doable regarding wall screws to anchor the escuchteon plate?

If the wall connection is easily movable and not under tork, why not drill 2 holes thru the escuthion and screw into wall with dry wall anchors to hold the screws?

bleach will destroy your flapper and you will get a progressive flush valve leak.

Thanks for the reply. Fluidmaster is sending a warranty replacement fill valve. No debris on seat, flush x2 and still runs. Internal valve defect.

I am able to change the diaphragm, as I have done before, when the symptom was restriction of water flow. My concern is the housing is cracked, so that water leaks from the valve body before the shutoff of the float. This would cause the tank level to slowly increase, rather than slowly...

I have a current model fluid master flush valve with a constant hiss after a complete flush that disappears after I turn off the shut off valve to the toilet. I have noticed the water level slowly rises in the tank after the flush is over. The level does not drop and phantom flush, which is a...

There is a 3/4"SB flex hose braided 18" and a SB 3/4 corrugated 24", both available at HD in the same area and seem to be for water heater application. I can see the black liner in the braided hose, but can't see a liner in the corrugated hose. There must be some kind of liner or the corrugated...
