In that case, you should see if you can replace the cartridge. If I'm not mistaken, the cartridge is the set of pieces that control the actual water flow from hot and cold. I've replaced cartridges on sink faucets before and I think this works the same way. See if you can identify the brand of the cartridge, snap a photo and then take it to the hardware store to show them what you're up against. Hopefully it's just that and not a whole new valve system. Best of luck!

Hi, have been living in an older apartment building for over 10 years. My unit has 6" shower arm with 1/2" connection with IPS thread and shower head with 1/2" connection with IPS connection. All new shower arm and heads I found has NPT connections. IPS connection and NPT connection do not match. But can I take out my current IPS connection shower arm and install NPT connection shower arm? Like I was thinking of getting rid of both the old 1/2" IPS thread shower arm and shower head first. And then install a new 1/2" NPT threading shower arm with teflon tape to prevent water leaks and NPT shower heads in their place. Is that possible if the wall holes accommodate? Is it even recommended to replace IPS shower arm with NPT connection in an older apartment unit? Can anyone please help with answers? Thank you

+Megan Kramer It depends on the state of your handle. If it's in the off position then you should be able to do this without turning the main water off. Worst case scenario - you accidentally turn the water on and it comes out the bath spigot or the shower head, so you twist the other direction to keep it off. If you're worried about this happening, it certainly wouldn't hurt to turn the main off.
