How do you know if it’s the diverter or the hot/cold water faucet that is causing the leak?

@DIYwithMichaelBorders 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Is water hot or cold? If warm, it’s your hot water stem. If cold, it’s your cold water stem. If water is visibly leaking from diverter or the diverter is performing poorly, we definitely recommend replacing diverter. Please keep us posted. Us DIY’ers need to stick together! 😎👍🔧🔩

Just an observation, as long as you have the water off you should rebuild both the hot valve and the cold valve. If one side is dripping, chances are the other side will probably start dripping soon. Otherwise, nice video.

Hot water seems to be an issue on a lot of the plumbing issues I've had over the years. Seems to leak more on the valves/lines. For instance I install a washer, the hot water line leaks more often or not then the cold...course either I have insufficiently tightened it or added enough teflon. Likewise as in this video my faucet gasket/rings tend to go bad.

Good morning, it may be as simple as removing old spout and taking it to store to match it up with an exact replacement match spout. You can use caulk to create seal around spout once installed.

Trouble with those sneaky screws slipping through your fingers? If so, yeah you should plug the drain, but your average DIY shouldn't have trouble holding on to the screw if they know how to use a screwdriver properly and secure the screw before it's all the way out.
