@musherX Thank you for the nice comment. I did tech at a Trade School about 10 years ago. I loved what I was doing and the students where great to work with. But that was just part time at night.
Plumbing is a mystery and terrifying one at that. Someday I want to build a house so I'd take your class in a heart beat. You're so clear, that I suggest that you teach again. Thanks for all of you help.
The stem actually turns and allows the water to enter the faucet.The spring applies pressure to the rubber gasket up against the bottom of the stem.In a lot of cases you only have to change the washers and springs.Ask someone where you are getting them if they come free for your style of faucet because some manufacturers have a life time warranty on all parts.There are different length washers and springs;be sure to install the correct one.They are relatively inexpensive.G.L.and have a good day
@83papple Glad you ask. Yes you have it right. The spring pushes up on the rubber washer holding the water back, but when the handle is turn the stem come up away from the spring and wash allowing water to come through. Thank you for the comment.
Thanks, this is a really helpful vid! My 2-handled Delta Kitchen Faucet has developed a slow drip and since I'm old school, I was in for a surprise to see all the plastic parts inside....and basically, I got totally bummed out, with no clue how to take them apart. This video just saved me some big headaches!
My rubber washer seats didn't go in easy at all. Now my faucets won't shut off the water. Could the washers not be down far enough?
