This little czcams.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
Should never use power tools on plumbing, and the amount of teflon tape applied was outrageous. That was a sealed valve so teflon tape was unnecessary. And if you have to use power tools to take a shower valve apart, you have more serious issues. But kudos to you doing your own fix.... hopefully that was your own fix at home.
All these shower valves I’m seeing on CZcams and none look nothing. Like mine 🤦♂️
Sorry about that..may be you can try to search more specific like type of shower or brand..
Same
Same
The head that you have is exactly what I have at home
No need to put Teflon tape, there is an o’ring. I actually changed from full turn spindle to quarter turn ceramic disc cartridge. So much better.
Exactly and he threaded teflón wrong direction. So point less. And the electrical screw driver about had me rolling. Need to change seat too. They always miss it. That's where a little pipe teflón comes handy.😅
You're not supposed to put that much teflon, and the direction you're supposed to wind it is left outward, same as electric tape.
Thanks for the comment..yup..actually no need to put the teflon. Since I always practice to put the teflon when changing the valve, so i decided to put it as well. I just realized that direction is wrong when people comment in this video 😬. Maybe that time Im focus more to shoot the video. Sorry about that.
Just what I needed!
Wonderful video. God Bless!
Very informative, keep it up dude ...
Hi Abe we, thanks for your support!
Terbaik Chip.. Keep It up!!
that's not a valve... that's a cartridge that goes into the valve (which is INSIDE DEEP in the wall...
Isn't it a shower stem? Sorry, im little bit off these kind of stuff, I'm leaning about it now.
There is a huge variety of these things, I'm quite lost
Wracking my brains to figure out how to find a replacement valve on google, and you come along and tell me to go old school, take the part to the hardware store 🙄, why didn’t I think of that 😅 thank you so so much, sometimes the most common sense approach is what’s needed and ima off to go find me a new valve, thank you 😊 xx
😁 help me to subscribe my channel too 😁
Very nice bro. Helped me a lot, been calling a plumber for weeks but not turning up. So need to become mcgyver. Your video sure comes handy. SUBSCRIBED 💪🏼
Thank you…
Just what i needed, thanks bro.
Thanks..please help me to subscribe and share this video..
Put the tape on the wrong way!!! Not required there was a rubber seal that will leak update your public liability insurance
Nice video
Dude, this is not a valve.... Its a cartridge. How has nobody pointed this out yet?
Do not put Teflon tape on the valve cartridge. That's what the seals are for.
Yes it was the norm back then but i noticed with the extra tapes they almost leaks all the time now.
Yes, the seals is just enough.
Thank you! I would have made that mistake too!
Way too heavy on Teflon tape bruh...
@@TeeStokes0825 Yes. It is not even needed, but even if it was... this is way too much. Great vid otherwise.
Where in the @(&@&&@&!!!! Blank, blank, blank where you when I was about to pulling my hair out I oil that thing then dried it then bought more stuff!!!! A freaking drill a drill omg!!! Yep still broken I will fix it this weekend!! Thanks
You have not changed the whole valve. You changed only spindle. Was spindle damaged ? Least chance of spindle damage. Old spindle can be replaced mere by replacing rubber washer. In any valve or tap leakage , most probably washer gets damaged / ruined. Next chance is of spindle failure. So, one has to change spindle otherwise only replacement of rubber washer works well.
Used this almost 10 years..not worth it if i change the whole valve as along as not hacking the wall. Anyway, thanks for your sharing and useful information.
thanks a lot sir.
Can we buy only the outer body(spindle + chrome handle,flange) without the valve for replacing in old building, you bought the whole set right, india...
So far spare part or hardware shop in my area just have full set only. If you get part by part much better and can save your money. Just make sure the thread and size are similar.
Thank you!!!!
It is helpful
Is the water supposed to be shut off when doing this?
Yes, just close the stop cork only.
Thanks
You do not have to put Teflon tape😮
Mine is a plyrich and cant find any like mine. My stem broke off from handle . I dont know what to do🤦🏻♀️
We need an update on this stem breakage and dilemma.
sir anu kaya prob ng skin sobrng hina ng tulo ng shower pero mga gripo ang lalakas nmn
still looking for that valve no luck…plz help
I can't open my hot water shower valve because the valve thread is damaged on the wall so the shower is not working for 2 years now any idea how I can take it out
The valve thread damage probably happens during installation due to not properly inserting the valve or over tighten. I'm not sure what type of valve are you using and my suggestion better to get a plumber to change the new set of valves and might need to hack the wall. This is the best solution I think.
Bro agar same size na mile to kya karna chahiye??
Tile ko tod kar nya lgana hoga ???
Sorry bro, i cant understand you..
Our plumber said that the kind of valve in our shower is not available anywhere,he has to get the entire valve think changed by braking tiles and digging on the wall...if it is not available what can be done inorder to prevent destroying the tiles?
No choice. This is just an option to avoid braking the tiles if you have the similar replacement valve.
Check whether your plumber is actually correct in saying he cannot get that valve. Hes too lazy to go check, just wants you to buy a whole new tap so he doesnt traipse around! They should all be standard.
See if it can be done from behind the wall. If not use a diamond blade with grinder to carefully remove section with tile. If access from rear i recommend an access panel installed for any future maintenance, repair.. lol..
Boss. Saya nk fix yg stopcock untuk air panas sebab air panas x keluar langsung. Saya dah tutup valve air tapi yg air sejuk je tak keluar. Air panas masih keluar. Kenapa ye? Kalau saya bukak stop cock ni air panas keluar ke kat area stopcock ni?
Kena kenal pasti system atau laluan air panas dan sejuk rumah tuan..yg sy tunjuk ni hanya untuk shower biasa sahaja yg direct dari tanki
how to remove the T tube (not sure what's the term) so easily?
Which one?
Umm...
I think he put the Teflon Tape on backwards
Yeah clockwise motion starting from the thread.
Yes, teflon rolling direction is wrong.
that same my valve where to find it and name 1/2 ?please help
I just bring the old valve to hardware shop to get the same size. Then just buy the valve only instead of buy the whole set. More cheaper and save you money.
@@chipchannel174 i tried that already…you cant tell me the one you purchased name..why not?mine is same
@@geowilson1587 the spare parts just shower valve and I don’t know the specific name for this. As I said, I just bring it to hardware shop and show them the valve to ensure I get the same size.
@@chipchannel174 im after whole set
where do i get these large size hex sockets
Check at your nearest hardware shop..else you can try looking at online shop as well.
Hardware store. Or plumbing house. Even some autoparts stores might havem.
One valve? Is it just a cold shower?
Yes.
What's the music
Aiyyaa peeling stickers pn mau tunjuk ka? 😂
Hehehehe
Ano size ng socket wrech na gamit mo saka san mo nabili sir?
Im sorry, I can’t understand your language. BTW, if about the wrench size I forgot the size number.
If Hex socket 17mm
I see the new valve is bigger than the old one. Well my valve sticks out a lot, are there smaller ones too?
As long as the new valve thread and size is equal to old valve should be no issue. The design and looks might be a bit different and it could be because of different manufacturer.
They come in different lengths.
@@gary7vn better get similar size.
Ganyan ba mag teplon,
This music slaps
9 minute video and the only thing anyone got from it, is you put the Teflon on backwards 😂😂 Don't you love people? Lmao
The main objective is to replace the valve without hacking the wall..actually not required to put the teflon and just put it as additional..too focus on camera until not realised that the way I put the teflon on backwards..🤣😁🤣... sorry about that
Learnt something new. Teflon tapes must be applied clockwise.
@@chipchannel174 please help what valve set name exactly like mine im pampanga
no good tutorial
How STUPID is this
Wasting time and prolonging life of Commercial why would I wanna see u peeling price sticky tag for 5 minutes ridicules
