I have replaced the springs and O-rings in our showers several times, but this time I'm stumped. I can post pictures if needed and I probably am not using the correct part term but I'll do my best.
This faucet is the single, crystal knob-type handle, without pressure balancing. It has the chrome plated-nylon lined compression nut, another fitting that sits inside of that, brass cartridge and stem, and the white nylon stem 'guide' is oblong.
I had no problem removing the compression nut, the nylon 'guide' for the cartridge, the cartridge, and the old O-rings and springs. The new parts installed in a jiffy.
The faucet shuts the water off completely; however, when the faucet is turned on, water comes out around the cartridge and thru the white nylon 'guide'.
What have I missed? Or have we just not tightened the compression nut tightly enough?
At least we have water service and a 2nd shower to use in the meantime.
