This is a question that is hard to answer without a make and model or where a picture is worth a thousand words. It is a two tap mixer, it is the O-ring at the base of the swivel neck.
Individual taps leak from the cartridge or the gland packing just below the handle.
more specific please. so your saying that the actual faucet sticking outta the wall is PVC and not a Brass for plated brass pipe? Also what type of valve do you have. Is it a single knob valve that you rotate to turn on as well as adjust your water temperature, or is there 2 knobs one for hot and one for cold?
A picture would help me answer your question a lot easier
1. Measure piping size with tape measure or read printed on pipe. 2. Visit local hardware store and take the faucet. 3. Tell them you need a tubing cutter and sharkbite adapters for the faucet you have. 4. Cut pipe with tubing cutters. 5. Push on sharkbite fittings. 6. Install faucet and supply hoses. 7. Take Bath.
The A-S single lever kitch faucet is terrible. If it is the one I think it is, then it has three screws that mount the cartridge down into the faucet body.If these are not torqued perfectly evenly, the faucet leaks. I suggest getting a Moen to replace it.
I'm not aware of any problems with non moen replacement parts being the cause for a water hammer problem. Start with the simplest and cheapest correction which is using a moen replacement cartridge. If the water hammer persists then you may have to install a water hammer arrester in the plumbing system. This is basically a shock absorber in the plumbing system to stop the effect of water hammer. An arrester will cost you around $10 to $15 at your local plumbing supply shop. If you are not comfortable soldering copper then you will want to hire a licensed plumber to complete the work for you.
I had the same type of problem with an older toilet in my house. It developed a water hammer when it shut off after filling the tank. I replaced the fill valve with a generic universal replacement for about $10 and it stopped. Again sometimes the simplest fix will work. Let me know how it works out.
if it is standard shower where you pull the knob up when water is running. the pull knob lifts a flap to shut off water to bottom faucet it proably has some buildup on the flap clean well with some clr or other calcium cleaner like it so the flap gets a clean seal on downspout
When I went to take mine out I had to cut it in half. Before doing anything drastic are you sure there's no way you can excess the plumbing from the other side of the wall? Its a lot easier to patch drywall than pull a tub. The faucet and pipes should be attached to the studs in the wall and not really attached to your tub. I don't really know what part of your faucet is leaking.. Some parts you should be able to excess from the front without pulling your tub. If its from the down spout you could probably loosen a screw or allen head that's on the bottom pull it off replace it or replace the O'ring inside. I hope I have help out.
