How to remove the handle on a Kohler 12176?

To remove the handle on a Kohler 12176, follow these steps:
  1. Turn off the water supply to the faucet.
  2. Look for a screw or set screw on the handle that is holding it in place.
  3. If there is a screw, use a screwdriver to loosen and remove it.
  4. If there is no screw, use a handle puller tool to gently pry off the handle.
  5. Once the handle is removed, you can access the valve stem and replace any damaged parts if necessary.
Note: If you are unsure about the process, consult the Kohler 12176 owner's manual for specific instructions or contact a professional plumber for assistance.

Why does touchless water faucet only work when other faucet turned on?

It's possible that the solenoid valve in the touchless faucet is not functioning properly, and needs to be replaced. Another possibility is that there is a loose or broken wire in the electrical circuit that powers the solenoid valve. You may want to check the connections and wiring, and consult a plumber or electrician if necessary, to help diagnose and repair the issue.

What do I need to replace on hot water dispenser to stop water from flowing?

Try claiming on their 5 year warranty. It is probably a worn o-ring or a worn ceramic cartridge in there. If you phone them, they will tell you the part that has probably failed. This link shows parts for the HT-200, but shows the cartridges and o-rings. https://www.chicagofaucetshoppe.com/Franke-Little-Butler-Parts-s/11466.htm

I purchased a house that has a flotec laundry tray system Model #S1800v-03 and noticed it is leaking where the top and bottom case connect with screws.

It's possible that the gasket between the top and bottom case has worn out and needs to be replaced. You can check the manual for the system or contact the manufacturer for more information on how to replace the gasket. It's also possible that the screws need to be tightened to prevent the leaking. If the pump is not turning on, you may want to check the float switch and make sure it's functioning properly.

My unknown mfgr older 2 handle, lever type, kitchen faucet spout cap won't twist or pop off w/ flathead. Plz Help

The problem could be a failure or wear of the seal under the cap that is causing the leak. You can try to remove the cap by delicately turning it with a flathead screwdriver in the counterclockwise direction. If this does not work, it may be necessary to seek the help of a plumber or the manufacturer.

Water flow is low on WR Kitchen Faucet.

i'm guessing ...but... take it off ..take it to the outside faucet or water hose hold the hose end tight on the faucet outlet and turn it on to back flush it what went in should come out .. but have you checked the screen on the spicket (where the water comes out) that usually unscrews an you will see a screen inside there that can get clogged in addition to several plastic aerator bits that can get clogged and this is a LOT easier than removing the faucet and back flushing it ..

The clip on my push pull faucet is frozen and will not move up or down any idea how I can get it to move. Thanks

  1. Try applying a penetrating oil such as WD-40 to the clip and moving it back and forth to help loosen any rust or debris that may be causing it to stick.
  2. Use a pair of pliers or a small wrench to gently grip the clip and try to move it up and down. Be careful not to apply too much force, as you don't want to damage the faucet.
  3. If the clip is still stuck, you may need to remove the faucet handle and access the clip from the inside. Depending on the design of your faucet, this may require removing a setscrew or using a special tool to access the clip.

American Standard Kitchen Faucet Low water flow

I had the same issue with an American Standard faucet that I installed new 6 months ago. The diverter can be the issue if you have a sprayer attachment. Try unscrewing the sprayer head from the hose it's attached to. Now run the water full pressure with the hose pointed into the sink, obviously :~). After running the water for about 1 minute, connect the sprayer head back onto the hose, make certain the flat rubber washer and ring gaskets are seated in their grooves properly, and tighten until you have no water leaking from the sprayer head/hose connection. Now try the water through the faucet. If the problem was a temporary diverter issue, your pressure should be fine now. Good luck

I received a supposedly new faucet for my kitchen sink. When I hooked it up after, it wouldn't shut off when I turned knobs.

It sounds like you have some parts missing or the knobs aren't connected to the ceramic cartridge. FULL make and model helps in Fixya questions.

My main line sack in my house is crack how much

Like the other answers said, it depends on how bad the damage is, the difficulty level in fixing it, and whether or not there's an expensive part to be replaced. For instance, it's far cheaper to fix a leaky faucet than a water heater problem. When looking for contractors, you might want to check their licenses, experience, and reviews. Even if your budget might be tight, it's best not to book the first one you've encountered just because they're cheap. At the same time, you might want to ensure that their cost is reasonable for the services to be rendered and any parts that should be replaced. If need an emergency plumber in Guildford who can attend to your needs right away, contact https://first1right.com/service/plumbing/. They even offer various payment options such as VISA, Mastercard, Maestro, Contactless, Android Pay, and Apple Pay. It's good to know that you can hire them and pay via credit card if you don't have the cash to deal with your plumbing emergency.
