Most of those have a quarter turn plastic pie section at the top of the stem. It reverses for right or left (cold or hot) faucets. Turn off the water supplies, remove the top of the faucet and handles, put the pie shaped sections on opposite sides, reinstall the handles and turn the water supplies back on.

Each manufacturer has a different size shower spout. As long as the fitting doesn't leak, put a flange up against the wall and if needed, use calking to fill the space. This is an aesthetic issue only.

Is this a question?

Get some Lock-tight formula to apply to the screw. Let it dry a few minutes after application. Naturally, after application of the solution, you have tightened the screw to its maximum. Do not be concerned about ever removing the screw as the material will loosens when you apply manual force.

The issue might be the tub diverter spout. Most such do not seal well. It is a matter of jiggling the spout knob. It should seal better with a little experimenting.

It sounds like you might be missing a part. Check your list for all included parts. All parts are critical.

If your having major issues, I would try to locate the main on/off valves at your water heater and pump/cold water line in the basement. One the water is shut off, I would try to check if there is a proper seal...as required concerning the stem. It's probably on of the old gaskets that was not remove and doubled up. Happened to me. Good luck! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM-TxozD-b4

Make sure the flapper is seating properly. If you can't tell, put some food coloring in the tank part... you will see color in the bowl.

Turn off the water supplying the faucet. Now open the faucet. Remove handle by taking off index button and removing screw. You may need to purchase a handle puller, 10-15 dollars, and a stem wrench set. After removing handle, place appropiate sized wrench on stem and turn counter clockwise. Before installing stem, make sure it is in the open position. You may need to use the handle to turn the new stem. Screw in clockwise.

Looking into the opening in your pipe, wrap the tape on in a clockwise direction. The smaller the pipe, the less wraps. 1/8" to 3/8" I use 2-3 wraps. 1/2" to 3/4" use 4-5 wraps. Teflon fills any gaps or voids that may occur between the male and female threads.

Change the O rings in the mixer.

Put the large part of the spring into the plastic or rubber washer first, then insert into faucet. I use a little of petrolem jelly for easy instlation.

Umm, yeah I think so....

you have to disassemble your old faucet by using "Wrenches". than reassemble the new one

Thae stem you got that said hot/cold were designed to fit old style cross handle faucets. So both hot and cold turned the same way. If the cold side you are replacing turns the opposite direction then you will need to get a cold stem. Danco does make them. Ask the retailer where you purchased the H/C stem. I hope this helps..

change cold cartridge call danco if you can

The same part works for both Hot & Cold sides. Usually preset to work on Hot (counter clockwise on, clockwise off). To set for Cold, simple remove the plastic clip from the top, slide the ring tab off, flip it over and put back on (you can only put it on one way since there's a flat "key" in it matching the stem) Now its set for Cold (CCW of, CW on).
