  1. Thanks hj. I got the job done, and it works...

    Thanks hj. I got the job done, and it works great. I used the Danco parts with no trouble at all. Only thing I found I don't like is how there is a tiny space between the new dome cap and sleeve....
  2. This has turned into a mess.......can't tighten dome enough

    I had to replace the dome cap on the old Delta bath valve. The new one is Rp50, the replacement for my old one. Everything worked out fine, except the 'collar' behind the dome cap, the chrome piece...

    Will do, just wondered if they fail. Mine are from the 70's and still like new. Just curious, are the Danco seat/springs ok, do they work ok on Delta? I would have bought original Delta, but Danco...
  4. Do the springs in a Delta single lever unit have to be replaced if still good?

    Or, can you just replace the seats?
    Do you guys see the springs fail often? Just wondered. Thanks.
  5. Thanks Jimbo. Are the Danco seats ok?

    Thanks Jimbo.
    Are the Danco seats ok?
  6. to clarify: Delta TPR type seat, is it the right one for the old valve?

    Sorry if my other post may be too confusing, what I really need to know is if I should use the concave looking seat with this old style valve, or, are the newer TPR (?) Delta seats better (or even...
  7. 1970's Delta single handle bath valve, springs, seats.........very confused......

    Hi,
    This old fixture has turned into a can of worms....
    I had a constant drip, soon a steady stream running all the time, like the water was turned on. So, pulled valve apart and bought Delta...
  8. Got my toilet back in service, thanks Terry & Jim...

    You guys know plumbing. Every bit of advice I found here was correct.
    The reason for the leak was the toilet was sitting on the flange, and I had used a 'No Seep' ring with the plastic insert. I...
  9. Thanks. I was just concerned about the exposed...

    Thanks. I was just concerned about the exposed plywood, don't want to replace it again. So the exposed wood is ok, or better to coat it with caulk or paint?
    I just measured the flange top surface is...

    I installed 12" ss braided flex lines on my water heater, and the directions say 'hand tight plus 1/4 turn'. I wrapped my fist around the fitting, and turned by hand until they stopped. No leaks, but...

    Legend cpvc, or Mueller brass ball valve?

    I just installed ss braided flex hoses from my water heater tank to cpvc. Would it be overkill to use cpvc to 3/4"npt brass transition to a brass ball valve? Or, should most applications warrant just...

    thanks, I am not sure about KBI, are they reputable?

    Never heard of them until yesterday, got two at Ace Hardware. I had a couple of Legend cpvc valves on hand, but wanted to use the best of the two. The KBI is made differently than any ball valve I've...
