This is caused because its not in the value...its either in the shower head seal or pipe or the tub spout...you have to turn it on and some how watch and see where it is coming from....sometimes you can pull back escushion from shower arm and look with flashlight when it is running and if you see leak where arm is screwed into pipe...unscrew and reseal with teflon tape and tighten...if not you will have to cut wall behind system and watch for area of leak...good luck

SOURCE: water leaking from tap when turned off

In order to remove the Danze handle from this particular model grasp the handle of the valve and then the body of the valve and turn the body counter clockwise in order to remove.

Hope this helps.

If you don't have a supply house near you that carries parts for the Danze products you can go to danze.com and order them there.

SOURCE: faucet in tub (behind in the wall) is leaking. It

A source leak will never be stopped by putty or any sealer. Remove and replace what is leaking, it will typically only get worse.

SOURCE: I have Danze, single handle

Replace valve canister- no construction- just remove after taking time to shut off water- a few screws and the job takes 15 minutes. I take for granted you have good water hot/cold to the fixture. This fix will cure most temperature balance problems.
The single lever system is a EZ care system. Note the canister can malfunction faster when exposed to untreated hard water.

How do you tighten or remove handle on a danze shower faucet

Not to familar with faucet itself, but on most shower faucet's, there is a screw that holds it on. Most of the time there is a plastic face plate on the front of the handles, you pop that off and the screw is beneath, as you loosen you have to hold the handle in place, otherwise as you loosen the screw it will turn the water on.

Other fauet handles will have a set screw , usually on the bottom side of the handle body,( the part of the handle closest to the shower wall, either a small flat head or allen wrech should be all you need. good luck.

New spout leaks does the copper pipe go to the rubber ring or does it have to go by it

Tub spout has an o ring that pipe goes through for seal. So it should go by it.
