I have a client with a Little Butler instant hot water faucet that is dripping.
It has both hot and cold levers.
I assume I can change the guts inside each side of the faucet, I just have never worked on this type before.
Is changing out the parts difficult or fairly intuitive?
First issue is it looks hard to get a wrench on the flats of the collar holding everything in place.
The two collars are crowded close together with the spout.
They mention using a 14 mm ring wrench?
Then, some sites seem to show parts out of stock for this, but maybe I am looking at the wrong model.
I also see at least two different styles of repair guts.
I have some pdfs of the procedure, but I am not sure which version of the repair parts I will need.
Changing the whole faucet would be expensive and almost impossible to reach it now, so far back and up, and buried behind a disposal, the heater, and a water chiller, and a rat’s nest of plumbing.
I included some pics of her faucet.
Any info is welcomed.
