How To Repair Replace 3 Handle Shower Valve

On this video we replace all 3 shower stems. Straight to the point. Remove this screw... loosen this... turn that... seriously! 👍

Great video. I just want to help other viewers understand that when you replace the shower faucet stem don’t over tighten the faucet to shut off the water. Be gentle because you will damage the rubber washer that pushes up against the valve seat.

[@roetemeteor]

I'm also going to add some of these fittings do *NOT* have this manual turn-off. If that's the case, you WILL have to turn off water at your main valve/breaker. It's just the nature of the beast. I will also add the hardest part of this job was just driving around and finding the replacement stems and who actually carries it. If you're replacing older stems, do yourself a favor and do _not_ go to lowes/home depot. They most likely won't carry it. Places like Ace Hardware or a plumbing store such as American Faucets will. A general hardware store MIGHT, but it's a longshot. Average cost is going to be about 30 if it's a modern or normal stem for both cold/hot and the diverter, or up to 100 if it's an older style fitting, which uses a mechanism similar to a diverter. This doesn't factor in replacing the knobs or base, but if they aren't damaged, you shouldn't have to replace them generally.

@@roetemeteor Thanks for the added advice. Mine do not have the water shutoff. I had assumed that to be the case so thanks for clarifying that for us.

[@modernspliff]

Very good point, as a plumber more people need to know this. Can be a mess if you mess this up.

Thanks for the tutorial....I tightened my diverter valve the first time with the valve in the off position....and hardly any water was coming out of the shower head so I panicked. 😅..... Took it back off..and redid it in the open position and it works good now. 👍

Thank you for this. I didn't realize the middle was different. I have hot and cold replaced, I just need to exchange this extra cold a get the diverter.

[@buttlessbandit6100]

Appreciate it sam, i'm just getting into this myself because the head of my diverter is missing at my rental property and i'm sick of having to go grab the pliers to let my wife take a bath, the threads are stripped on it because of the pliers and i may as well replace the whole thing at this point. Informative and helpful.

[@armandomadrigal9793]

You dont need to replace the whole stem, replace both hot and cold seats, and 3/8L washers for stems. If you dont replace the seats its still going to leak.

[@THECDG999]

On my case, the rubber seals were messed up., no hardware stores at reach I cutout a little piece of my truck rubber mats, rounder up, put some silicone grease., white tape., and it worked perfectly!.. no leaks!

[@cesar9496]

Good idea, Walmart usually sells those gaskets or seals in a pack for like 2 dollars so does Home Depot.

[@DiscipleoftheDumbOx]

Quick and to the point. Good video. Would've preferred that the fixtures were also cleaned as part of the production with recommendations provided on cleaning method. Finally, I would have loved a segment on replacing the stem seats, washers and O rings.

Have the same cartridge. For some reason the cold handle when I turn it on its hard to turn . You have to turn it couple times to even start a small flow of water. The hot side is fine. Both are brand new cartridges.

[@scottcrockett8270]

How do you determine what valves are correct? Manufacturer?

[@jasonsimpkins5040]

Hopefully you're still around to maybe answer this. When I want to take a shower and turn the diverter I get a lot of water coming from the tub spout. Is that what I need is a new diverter? Thanks

[@anthonygiunta9260]

I'm wondering if I have right video. My set up is similar but the faucet handles will not slide off after loosening the small inset screws. I have the same shutoff set up, and that works. But I'm stuck with stubborn handles. What am I missing here? A puller? I certainly don't want to bust anything.

[@kevinmetcalf6371]

Tks a lot bro. Hey if the cold one that I need to replace turns to the right to get the water on ..... Is this because the valve WASNT In the open position when 1st installed ?

[@davidthecardcollector]

Do you need to know what brand of faucet it is or the kits universal?

Any thoughts on what to do if the valve body is seized and the 'tool' socket doesn't budge them? I swear I can't go near plumbing without finding some headache I've never seen in 50 years of doing this stuff. Someday they'll come up with a plumbing robot. It will have 150 years of plumbing experience in its memory banks and even though they programmed it to be polite it will spontaneously begin cussing. Good video.
