wnaplay1647545503 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 If the only thing it is doing is dripping then just put a on/off valve on it and save yourself a service charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 what do you mean? How would I put that valve on? When I was looking at it, I couldn't find an easy way to replace the valve without cutting out the old one and welding a new one in place.

Akula Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 You can buy an inline stop. It goes on the pipe between the wall and the showerhead. They are used to stop the water from running if you are into keaping the waste down. We had them on the submarine so we could take the 2 gallon shower.

nathan Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Josh, what is the brand on the faucet? You should be able to replace the o rings in the old one and it should stop the drip. Is it the cold or the hot that drips, or can you tell. I have replaced the insides a couple of times with good success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Nate, I might be needing your help with replacing it if you can... I have no clue what brand it is... it's whatever comes with an M/I home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I can lay some serious pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 No problem. If you can take pic of it and send it to my email addy tuttle_36atyahoo.com that would be most helpful that way I can narrow down the brand, probably American Standard though. The ACE hardware store by OSU generally has or can get any and all replacement valve bodies for showers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
