Thanks, i think because water leaks at the top replacing just ring might not do. I will try to open it although it is extremely difficult. If not luck I will replace it with american brand as you recommended. Those made in china unknown brands are the worse to service.

The faucet was purchased at Potterybarn couple years ago. (they dont sell it anymore) The hot water started to leak where the handle twists. (I tried to use some vinegar to clean it from inside with no luck) Can this cartridge be replaced? I cannot even loosen it up. Also, not sure where do i...

thx guys i did exactly what you told me. Did not know that this pipe unscrews. So far no leak anywhere. Crossing fingers!!! What i also noticed is that the faucet valve for the hot water moves little tighter then before. I had it disconnected with no water for a week as i was searching...

So i was able to fix the leak connecting the faucet middle element and water. I used the bushing to convert 3/8 male to 1/2 MIPS and then i used the flex wire to connect to T and hot and cold. It was impossible to find a replacement washer. I put the drain P trap back and i still see the...

I think i put it correctly. The side that is beveled goes down. Funny part is that i had my kitchen remodel recently and all my pipes there and connectors have tons of putty paste there. I told my installer that in my opinion putty should not be put there but because he cut the pipes uneven...

Faucet is new but purchased it years ago. Pottery barn gave me 2 faucets so i had one waiting for emergency. Finally i needed it but unfortunately the washer broke too fast. If i dont find a washer i plan to connect a bushing that will convert the male pipe to 1/2MIPS and i will connect it to...

Before I continue fixing this leak I need to work on another mystery. While I was testing the leak I was turning the cold water on and off and the washer in the T element that connects cold and hot water to the middle part of the faucet where the water comes out broke and I have another leak...

yes the 1 1/4 washer goes around the chrome piece and fits well. I looked at the pipe while I was draining water and I can see the water building up and coming from in between the chrome pipe and the washer. It looks like for some reason the washer does not create a perfect seal.

no its all 1 1/4 1 1/2 on 1 1/4 would be loose this one is tight

all parts are 1 1/4

I always thought that those type of fittings were designed to be leak free and no pipe dope was necessary to be used here. The leak is happening as the washer is not creating the seal around the pipe while it is pressed on. It is leak free on the outside side of the washer. I feel like if...

I tried to fasten it at different spots and different orders and it just does not seal where it is in contact with metal pipe. I wonder why the washer does not seal around the pipe? Is it normal to use pipe dope in this scenario or it should seal? Is pipe dope same as the TFE paste? (which I...

I tried new rubber washer , new t and noting works. The leakage is between the rubber and the silver pipe. The rubber washer actually allowed more leakage then the poly washer. Like for some reason the washer does not want to wrap around the metal pipe. I have some pfe paste but this one is...

The silver pipe is pretty long I will try new washer and new T. if that does not work I will be forced to use Teflon paste.

thx , I will get new washer then. What is the difference between blue and orange?

I have tiny leak (I marked its location with red color on the photo. What is the best way to seal it? Should not the ring inside compress and create a seal. I started to happen after I replaced the faucet with exactly same one. Could the silver pipe be little off and does not allow for the...

i cannot tell, the pipe goes into floor and possibly there is a T there , but as i said this is old building and unscrewing one thing brakes the other and so on. I tried that before on water pipes and ended up with new copper lines. (and all was done by pros, they broke all the pipes and were...

i am not sure how is it done , i will look when i get home

i cannot pull it up, it turns under tiles

yes , that's my biggest concern, i did some work on water pipes few months ago , and anytime I touch anything it brakes, so i dont want to touch that pipe at all, too risky and if it brakes i would have to redo tiles what about some extension that attaches to old thread and goes up a little?
