Shower Valves.
by Portagie1968 on 4/12/2011, 5:34 am
Has anybody taken apart the shower valves. My hot water valve is leaking around the threads. Need to disassemble and see if I can service it. I know the handle comes off and yes I have taken ones apart in the house but are these the same. Anybody got any advise.

You talking about the faucet itself ?
If your wrenching on the faucet itself, I'd yank it on out , take it down to a local plumbing supply " not big box supply" , and get a "A" grade faucet that matches it. Its usually cheaper than the big box stores. I haven't done it yet, but soon as mine starts to leak or breaks, I'm yanking the plastic stuff out.

You are correct the body is plastic. Suggesting that the plastic be replace with an all metal faucet. Good idea
