Everyday Home Repairs That Fix It Guy hi. A plumber installed a brand new tub faucet yesterday. Now there is an issue. When running the diverter, only water comes out of the diverter with good pressure. The problem is when running the shower, the diverter still running. Both at good pressure. When everything is turned off, there are no leaks. I noticed this after the plumber installed and I asked the plumber why the diverter would still run, when shower is still running. The plumber said that is what the new faucets do now. That seems like a huge waste of water when showering. Is what he’s saying true or did he install something wrong? If he installed wrong, what is the fix?

Nice video. As you pointed out, Teflon tape is not necessary to stop the faucet from leaking. Teflon tape may be a lifesaver in the future for someone who wants to remove that spout after many years. That tape will help it to come off. I often use Teflon tape for that reason or I use Pernatex Anti-Seize which I get at auto parts stores. After many years, these faucets get stuck on. That is why they make strap wrenches so you don't mess up the finish. Some people stick a dowel or screw driver into the spout to get some leverage. Vinegar works very well. It works better when heated up. I heat it up in the microwave. I don't know if I would do that with CLR.

Also, when the plumber changed the spout we suddenly got dripping from the spout!

The leak behind-the-wall could be stopped if the handle was pushed all the way in and turned all the way to the left; that is how I was told to manage the minor leak when I moved in. Two years later that fix no longer worked and you could barely hear water running at all times. I notified the landlord several times and nothing was done until far too late. Edit: I gave landlord 2 weeks notice to fix this and other major plumbing problems. Nothing was done so I forced myself to move out.

Mine worked fine until I got in the other day and as soon as I pulled down, it started shooting out sideways from the pull down diverter. As in, not from the core opening below in the faucet. I do still have about half of the flow going to the shower head, but it resulted in a very icy shower with that much water loss. I'm guessing that means it broke and needs a new one, as opposed to just cleaning it, correct?

I hope you don't mind me asking a loosely related question: In a condo where the plumbing is the responsibility of the condo association to maintain, and plumbing fixtures (sinks, bathtubs, showers, toilets) are the responsibility of the condo unit owner, what defines the dividing line between plumbing and fixture? For example, is the threaded pipe onto which the spout screws classified as part of the plumbing or as part of the tub/shower fixture? (To my eye, that pipe looks like part of the rough-in plumbing, not part of the fixture. My rule of thumb is that the dividing line is where connections are made, with threads or nuts and seals such as o-rings or plumber's tape.) Also, does the Plumbing Code imply traps are part of the plumbing, not part of the fixture, where the Code talks about the distance between the trap and the fixture outlet? (Except toilet traps, which are built into the toilet.)
@Christy.1
3 жыл бұрын
Just my opinion, for whatever that's worth :) You would think, as you said, where the connection is. If they the immediate pipe that connects is your responsibility as well, what if you damage it and it causes other problems in spots that are "their" responsibility? Most of those fixtures are cheap and easy to replace, as well as break due to their cheapness, hence why they say it's your responsibility. You'd be best catching the actual maintenance person and asking them directly-as opposed to someone in the office. Plus, the maintenance person may be pretty cool and do stuff on the side or a little extra on the company's dime. Never know :)

How about the opposite the shower head always runs (some of the flow) when the water is on. When the diverter is pulled all the flow goes to shower. We have a delta and have changed the cartridge and tub diverter to no avail.

Most likely the brass valve body was installed upside down inside the wall. The valve has 4 ports. 1 hot 1 cold 1 shower 1 tub outlet. Internally the casted porting for the shower outlet is smaller than the tub outlet. This is designed to cause some back pressure so the natural water flow favors the tub outlet. ( Gravity, height, and shower heads play a role as well) When the shower valve is upside down, the internal restricted port is hindering the flow to the tub spout and forcing the water out of the shower head by back pressure resistance. This will cause some water to run from the shower head every time the tub is running. If you inspect a new shower valve, you will see all the inlet and outlet ports are different. Shower valves are labeled embossed with "up" or "shower" to signify intended orientation.
