Great tip to cover the drain before starting. I wouldn’t have thought of that and would totally lose the parts down the drain.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Yeah that would have been a bummer! Then you have to pull out the shop vac and sort thru the nastiness of the drain. Thanks for watching.

[@stevesproul3744]

Great tips brother. I am the one that wouldn’t think of covering the drain 😂. Little tips like that can save you a lot of headaches.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Thank hank you Steve! It is one step that can make a job suck. Thank you for watching.

[@maxwellmarlin880]

Hello. I’m a little late but do you know what model/trim this grohe is? I have the exact same one I need to order the inner parts for. Mixer and the plastic adjuster piece.

[@sandy-001]

Seems like modern and fancy = complicated. I guess because I'm old, I like to keep it simple. We have started to look at how to install and potentially fix before we purchase lol

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Oh Sandy I totally agree! I like simple too! Grohe makes great products, but they are not really DIY friendly. Not saying it can’t be don’t. I like the idea of looking and install and repair before you buy. The maintenance side is the killer. There is a good sized price gap when fixing a moen shower valve verse a Grohe Shower valve. Thank you for watching!

[@stevephla]

This video was a huge help for me with a 2003 valve that ran too hot. But I could not find the set screw. Aha!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

so glad this was able to help.

[@susanseymour2997]

Thanks for the tips Brian! Plumbing made easy!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Anytime! I am happy to help!

[@brittblanton8342]

Hey Brian thanks for the great information, by it not being installed properly it made your job more difficult 👍

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Did it make it harder Britt! He asked me to check the other bathroom as well, but by time I was don’t fiddling with that one I quit! 😂 thank you Britt!

[@CristianSAluas]

I have a shower nozzle like the firs tone you showed. The entire part with the white band jiggles. To tighten that, do I open it up like you showed at the 1 minute mark and there should be a similar screw to tighten it up inside?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I feel like you should be able to screw that down to tigten it up.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

So come along....let's get in the shower together lol

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Lol! Maybe that is how I should have started that out!

[@dalefoot8232]

Thank you! Great video.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Thank you Dale. At some point I will do a live stream and talk about my friends house. So many things wonky!

[@dalefoot8232]

@@ThatFixItGuy I wish I had you in NC where my daughter and her husband just bought a home built in 1984. Good luck with your channel. I expect to see your subscribers grow. I live outside of metro Detroit. I found you through Stoney Ridge Farmer.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Awesome Dale! I have always wanted to check Detroit out. Been to a couple other cities in Michigan, but never there. If SRF had it his way I would be moving to NC. It is beautiful country. You Daughter and Hubby can always hit me up with plumbing questions. Thank you for subscribing! We really appreciate it.

[@peterarnal212]

Hey, thanks for the video. The handle is stuck on the stem after removing the screws, any idea how to remove it without yanking it?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

You could try a little penetrating oil in the hole. Pb blaster just saved me with this.

[@halfdohm]

Have you changed the Thermo Cartridge on the Grohe? I have Grohe Seabuty model 19614 and need to change the thermo cartridge (It is similar to what you have here). I called them and the lady said just screw it out, but easier said then done. I found the set screw, but maybe there are two, just as you showed. Anyway, thanks for the video, every bit helps.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

There is only one set screw I believe that you have to loosen then you can screw that cartridge out. Were you able to get it?

[@halfdohm]

@@ThatFixItGuy Correct, I thought there were two set screws, but there is only one. The handle is stuck on the stem. I've just applied some vinegar with warm water. I don't want to yank on it and damage the valve. thanks!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Sweet. Glad you got it hooked up.

[@CristianSAluas]

Do you have to turn off the water in the apartment?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

No you don't have to shut the water off unless your are going to open up the shower valve for a repair.

[@joe.halstead8822]

Appreciate the vid, but Idt I’d use the loctite

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Why not? It is removable locktite.

[@Nancy-xg9nc]

Hence the big line of silicone😑 perhaps they make a thinner escutcheon?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Very true. I actually to call grohe about another issue in the same house so I will ask the thinner escutcheon question. Thank you for your comments!

[@maxwellmarlin880]

Do you know what this model of grohe is? I’m working on this exact one and I need the inner parts. Mixer/ and plastic piece

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I do not but I can find out for you.

[@mastertileandrepairs]

How I can remove the catrige

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I have not done a video on removal yet, but here is a good one I found that is similar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIHZaWCQocabhbc

[@gerrymarmee3054]

Man, we had a shower and tub installed and the handles are loose. Lousy installation. Makes me so mad!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I know. I feel so bad for my friend. Big reason why I am helping out with all these little things. I will help him find a good person to help fix the big stuff as well.
