20 Most Recent Moen 3175 Legend One Handle Shower Faucet With trol Pressure Balancing Valve.... - Page 6 Questions & Answers

the problem is in the shower fitting the part with the handle ,depends on who made it but you replace washers or a cartridge some times easy some times not

There is a puller that screws into the top. It walks the cartridge right out.

muratic acid, or hydrochloric does a real good job at hard water but watch your chrome trim because it will eat at that too

you need a new tub spout, the o ring goes bad and allows it to come from both at the same time, they are a pain in the **** to get out so i would just replace it , some screw off and some have an allen screw on the bottom of it close to the wall that you loosen up and it will slide off

most likely it is the cartridge,if you replace it this may fix this problem.you must remove the handle and a pin at the top of the cartridge,first make sure the water is off to the unit then proceed.

try and pull the cartridge out and look in there with a flash light and make sure there isn't any think lodged in the hot water side of the faucet, you might even want to leave the cartridge out and turn the water back on to try and flush it out. alot of times rubber from the old cartridge gets stuck in there as you are pulling the old one out especially if it's stuck in there good

I just installed one this weekend. Make sure that the cartridge has the embossed "HC" at the top (for Hot on left, Cold on right) when you slide it back in. Also, before putting the handle on turn the cartridge shaft so that the completely flat part is toward the top and the side with the small notch at the end is toward the bottom.

the joints at the body are not tight or leaking.Call him back to fix.

First determind what side is dripping(hot/cold) then turn off water to entire house unless you have separate shutoff for shower behind wall. take a screw driver remove handle then use channel lock pliers to remove stem on the bottom side of the stem there will be a screw with a rubber washer on it you must remove the screw and replace the washer them re assemble Oh go to home depot and buy a the assorted pack of washer for faucets and stems find one that fits the pack cost about 4.99 best to change both rubber seal washer on hot and cold sinc e you have the water off

You must of turned off your water to the house or maybe it was turn off in the street recently because it sounds as if you have debris in you strainer remove the head and rise of removing any dirt rise out both front and back of shower head while head is off run shower to make sure you are getting full pressure out of the pipe that the head is connected to

the screw should be a phillips head or allen screw

hi carey. turning the cartridge upside down will not change the direction. But tell me this, once you get used to the new cartridge won't it be fine as it is?

under the handle of the faucet reached by removing the covering cap and single screw is a plastic geared device which limits the travel of the handle to the hot side carefully reorient so handle will turn a little farther and reinstall handle screw and cap

The heat is most likely what caused this. It probably melted some rubber or plastic component in the cartridge in the faucet. The manifold would have been quite hot 2 inches from a copper joint being sweated.

The cartridges in the single handle units are prone to display this issue in hard water areas as mineral deposits such as calcium build up on the stem. The stems also have small rubber band like rings - for lack of a better term- that break apart and can clog the ports on the side where the are on. New stem should resolve the issue totally unless you have had a pipe break or other construction to the plumbing system recently. Thanks for using Fix Ya.

Do you have good flow if you remove the shower head, y/n if not how old is house,galvinized plumbing?? or copper plumbing. Sounds like you have a clogged valve and if so this link will be good.

Oops, Try taking a large drill bit and drilling out the center of the cartridge and then trying to "pick" out the remaining pieces. If all else fails, you will will have to replace the faucet. I wouldn't go back with a cartridge style faucet in the future. I have come across difficult ones in the past including my mothers own faucet! I replaced hers with a Delta. American Standard makes a good faucet these days as well that won't break the bank! Hopefully this helps.

Sometimes they are very stubborn. Get a pair of pliers or channel lockes and pull straight up. Try wiggling the and pulling at the same time. This is the only way it can come out so you just need to keep working on it. Good luck!

if you have taken out screw then pull off if you have a handle puller use it

Remove the cartridge and turn it 180 degrees and push it back in. When you pull the cartridge out, inspect the housing and make sure there isn't debris caught where the inlet to the cartridge is. Something could be caught in there. Also, remove the supply line with the cartridge removed on the cold side and blow through it. Air should move and if it doesn't, there is something in there. Try using some compressed air to blow through the line. Hope this helps.
