I have the old 2 knob shower faucet. I replaced the gasket and spring but it has not stopped running. It is like it is half way turned on. Is there something else I need to replace?

If this is a single handle, you just need to turn the water off and remove the insides or guts. You will need to replace the ball because this is where the handle screws into. If it is a 2 to 3 handle faucet, you will need to remove the stem and replace it.

Sounds like you might need a gear puller -- hardware stores would have them -- or auto parts.
Spray with contact cleaner wd-40 first, then install puller, depress ring and crank away at the puller.

SOURCE: single knob for shower and tub wont stop running

I had the same problem, you need to shut off your valves and remove the handle that turns the water on and off. You need to turn the chrome front piece counter clockwise to remove it from the front of the unit. Pull the ball out and you should see 2 rubber o-rings with springs inside. My guess is that you have a bad o-ring that should be replaced. After you buy the kit from your local Home Depot, Lowes etc, you install the pieces the same way you removed them!

SOURCE: water will not turn off

are the handle extensions on the cartridges all the way. i know sometimes the moens are a pain after you put the trim on to get them on and seated right so it actually spins the cartridge. also check the cartridge alignment the cartridges have little white tabs on the sides that correspond with a slot in the valve body if they aren't aligned it won't shut off either

SOURCE: repairing a delta single shower faucet. The handle

There is a nut that needs to be removed, allowing you to remove the ball assembly.

Look at the ring nut right below the #1 in this pic.
Your's should be similar to this one.

System won't switch to shower

You need a diverter in your spout. The spout will screw off and the new one will screw on. Lift the ball while the water is running and it will divert the water to the shower.

I have an american standard shower knobs for cold and hot with a center control that directs to shower. Tub faucet leaks. How do I fix this?

Hi,
Pull the knob off...usually the screw is behind a cover in the center of the knob...
Behind the knob you will find a nut that is the packing nut ... this is what keeps the water from running out around the stem...turn that nut clockwise a quarter to a half turn or until snug...
this iwll fix your leak...

I put a new shower valve on a delta shower faucet with a handle for volume control and a handle for temp. control. When I turn the water supply on, the water runs continuously and I cannot shut it off no...

The first thing I would do is to start over Remove the cartridge and look behind it to make sure the Quad seal and seats and springs are all in place, It sounds like a least one of the seats fell out of their home. Also double check that the spring are in correctly with the tapered end pointing towards the cartridge. The link below may or may not be helpful.

The all in one tub/shower faucet constantly flows. What can I do to fix this problem? Now I am a woman, so please make it simple.

Go to home Depot or loew and buy the seat replacement kit for your model of faucett. Your going to have to break out the tools (Philipps Screwdriver and a larger adjustable wrench) The remove the shower knob cover with a knife to access the mounting screw. Remove the screw and then the knob. (STOP!) Go turn off the water for the residence now! Then come back and remove the nut holding the faucett in place. The whole assy will with a little effort will come straigth out at you. Moen isnotorious for having to remove a plate from the bottom of the valve. NOTE the position of that plate and then remove it. Remove all of the seat seals one at a time and replace them with the new ones you purchased. Reinstall the NEW lower plate in the same position you removed the old one. Reinsert the assy back into the valve body. Tighten the retaining nut. Reinstall knob and secure with screw. Replace knob cover. Turn on the water NOW. Enjoy the non-leaking faucett.

Single knob for shower and tub wont stop running

You may have debris caught in the cartridge. I'm not sure which faucet you have but if it utilizes a ball, there is a retaining ring that is either grey or white that you have to tighten. If not, I would recommend contacting American Standard. You might have a bad cartridge or missed replacing another part. Sometimes they have small round washers at the back of the housing that need to be replaced as well.
