Thank you so much for making this video, and including links to the parts at ace hardware. You are a lifesaver! I was just about to give up and call a plumber.

Thank you I have the exact plumbing! So very helpful in my repair. This is the only video I have found on American standard barrel DYII.

What did you replace the spout with? What was the brand of the original spout? I have a 1940s American Standard spout with a rear diverter that I cannot easily remove. It works fine when I periodically spray WD40 into the opening and onto the shaft of the diverter pull mechanism. The shower is not used often so maybe that is why this works. I'd still like to replace it someday but probably won't go to the length that you did. Enjoyed your comments.

Dude, your presentation style is making me fall a sleep!!!

Wow! Thank you very very much. The guy at the store could not tell me what to do. He had never seen that type before, and I certainly would not have figured it out. So. You Rock buddy. Saved me time and money, and frustation. Ps. Made it out of plastic also.

Wood shims are great, I have some but also several packs of composite shims.

I’m having leak on the head shower from this stem I replaced with the new one and still the same , does this kind of shower body has seat inside or how to fix this problem.?

Thanks for relating, sharing this!

Thanks for the video. I have the same problem. I have searched everywhere for a video or some kind of info and luckily I stumbled up on this one.

What tips do you have if my barrel doesn’t come out and is stuck

Btw, I tried searching for the brass washer online and couldn't find anywhere that you could buy it. I don't think I was even able to find a part number for it when I looked about a year ago. The tupperware fix seems to work fine though as it has been a year since I did it and the problem has not returned.

Thank I’m having the same problem with the cold water handle on my sink. I’m going to try this fix today. My original had a thick washer between the barrel and valve stem. The re-nu replacement just had a thin brass washer

They look old Buddy

thank u sir this helped me change out my first barrel seat on american standard

Thank you sir, really helpful video. Curious where did you find the valve gasket and the O ring to replace ?

Thanks for the video. This is probably a stupid question...but: If the barrel isn't screwed in like a seat, what holds it in place and stops it from turning when you turn the knob/stem to turn the water on and off. It seems like it would just turn freely.
