I'm new, my first post. Thank you for your time. I am not a professional, but can do a lot for myself around the house. Here's my problem.
I have a two handle shower that will leak when I shut the hot water off. It is made by Valley. Bought the new stem kit, new spring and rubber seal. My problem is that I go from either that it won't shut off at all,the flow is all out or about half way on, but the water won't shut off or the way it is in right now, it will shut off....almost. There is a constant drip.
The parts that I replaced is this below and the spring and rubber seal.
They are from plumbing supply
The spring goes in, the rubber seal goes around the spring, the spring set also came with a plastic insert that goes into the rubber seal, the stem above goes in with the bottom part of the pic in first, then the extender thing that attaches to the top of the pic above, then the metal surround with the hole in it, that you tighten up, the reattach the handle.
I'm guessing that I am not positioning it correctly when I put it in, then reinstall, but I can't figure it out how or what I am doing wrong.
