That was the story of my life for the first two weeks I owned the Liberty house, and it was mostly due to the fact that the house hadn’t been winterized properly.

None of this, by the way, was the fault of the previous owner. In fact, other than some questionable layout decisions in the master bathroom (which you can see photos of here, or with a video impression of just how awkward that toilet placement is here), all of the work the previous owner is exactly the type of work I would do myself. Moen Faucet O Ring RepairWhich is to say some of it was pretty high-end, and a lot of it was half-finished.Akita Puppies For Sale In Nebraska On the high-end side we have this jetted shower from Delta faucets, which isn’t exactly a cheap throw-er-on-there kind of fixture.Toy Goldendoodle Puppies For Sale Mn When I turned the water on in the house and this thing did it’s best impression of a car wash possessed by demons, my heart sank a little…

I figured replacing this trim was probably beyond me, but I was determined to give it a shot anyway. I started by turning the water off at the supply lines and then worrying at the different parts of the trim to get it to come apart. I figured this was installed at least 6-7 years ago, so crossed my fingers when I ordered the replacement trim that it would still be compatible with the rough valve. Here’s what it looked like once I got everything off… And the rather intimidating pile of parts I had to work with… I started with an open mind and the instruction booklet in hand, which is good because the first thing I attempted was to replace the adapter assembly in the back of the valve… And as it turns out this part was not compatible with my older valve. However the old gaskets didn’t appear to be rotted and I held them up to the new ones and there was no discernible difference in size or shape, so I decided to put the old ones back in and see how it would work.

The new cartridge seemed to have the same hole placement as well, so I felt pretty confident this would work. My confidence waned when I tried to install the new cartridge and found that the “key” on the new cartridge was a different shape from the old one (and there were two instead of one). The new had the triangle shaped notch and the old was square. Luckily it was a plastic piece and so I just made a few slight “modifications” with my utility knife. And check it out… totally fits! The cartridge is held in place by the bonnet nut, which is what I’m screwing on in the image above. Then the large o-ring… Then the piece I’m pretty sure is called a “stem extender”, which is basically the guts of the on/off switch for the jets, and fit nicely without any utility knife adjustments. And the sleeve for that as well… Then the new face plate, which I’m also pretty sure is called an “escutcheon”, but since I can’t pronounce that word and would feel like and idiot saying it even if I could, we’re going to go with face plate on this website.

The jets simply screwed into the valve after the face plate was on… And then– the five year old in me rejoices– stickers! And the actual handle/switch for the jets, which is held in place with a small set-screw. The final bonnet assemblies just screw on to finish off the jets… And the last thing was to install the “volume control handle.” I’m just going to admit that this was the first time in the process I made my WTF face at the instruction book. There is a whole lot of stuff in there about the temperature control knob and testing the water with a thermometer, and frankly, I just stuck the damn thing on and called it a day. Personally I don’t feel quite right if I haven’t scalded at least two layers of skin off when I shower anyway, so I wasn’t so worried about it. Despite a little MacGyvering, I have a fully functional shower, without any leaks, drips, or fountains shooting out from behind the trim. Now, you may be wondering how the jetted shower itself works, because you know I tried that thing out almost immediately after getting the water running.

So here’s the thing… I’m what you might call “vertically challenged.” I’m 5’2″ on a good day, and this trim is positioned perfectly for someone who is a foot taller than me. I love the idea of the jetted shower, but in practice it pretty much get a facefull of water whenever I turn it on. However, this shower is located in what will definitely be a guest bathroom on the first floor so I fully expect it to make the day of any taller people who stay over at my house, and that’s good enough for me. It’s possible that I’ll put something similar to this in my master bath as well, it will just be positioned a little more strategically for us smaller people.Delta faucet repair does not have to be an expensive or time consuming task. Instead of waiting around for a plumber and paying big bucks for the service call, consider doing the plumbing repairs yourself. Whether you are repairing a kitchen, lavatory, or shower faucet, a few basic tools and a bit of know how are all you need to get your faucet back in working order.

To perform the plumbing repair, first determine the source of the problem. The vast majority of required faucet repairs are related to water leaks. This may be due to broken parts, worn out parts or incorrect installation. As with any home improvement project, the right tools are required to ensure a successful outcome. Before starting the repairs, make sure you have the following tools: Smooth jaw adjustable wrench 1/8th inch allen wrench O-ring pick or dental pick Once the problem is identified and the tools are gathered, replacement parts should be purchased. These are available at home improvement and plumbing supply stores nationwide. If you are unsure of what is wrong, then take apart the faucet before purchasing the replacement parts. This will require the water to be turned off until the parts are bought and the repairs are complete. It is advisable to perform the repairs during a time where the water will not be needed such as while children are in school or others family members are at work.

Perform Delta Faucet Repair Turn off the water coming into the faucet. Kitchen and lavatory water lines are directly under the sink. There should be a valve with a handle. Turn the handle then check to make sure it turned the water off completely by trying the faucet. Shower faucets do not have an inside shut-off valve so the water to the entire house will have to be turned off to perform shower faucet repairs. The main shut off valve is located outside and is usually in the front yard near the street. If you are unsure, contact the water company for location clarification. Lift the faucet handle to expose the screw underneath. Insert the Allen wrench and unscrew to remove the handle. Remove the cap assembly with the smooth jaw wrench. It is important to use only a smooth jaw wrench because normal wrenches have teeth that will scratch the faucet surface. Lift out the cam, cam washer and ball assembly and set aside. Use the pick to extract the seats and springs. This will expose the spout which then should be lifted out and also set aside.

Remove the two O-rings by sliding the pick down the side of the spout and into the groove. If the O-rings are the source of the leak, they will most likely be cracked or damaged. Slide the new O-rings into the appropriate grooves using the pick. Take care not to nick the O-rings with the tip of the pick because nicks may cause weakness and leaks over time. Rub a pea-sized drop of stem lube around the O-rings to ensure the spout will move easily once the faucet is put back together. Put a bit on the inner part of the spout as well then sit the spout down over the stem. Insert the spring into place then follow with a seat. Do the same for the second spring and seat. Push down with your finger. Rub the ball with a small amount of stem lube then place inside the faucet. Repeat for the cam washer and cam and place inside the faucet. Top with the cap assembly and twist into place. Tighten until snug with the smooth jaw wrench. Reinstall the handle using the Allen wrench to tighten.
