Tub faucet started dripping(steady drip) other day.
I just replaced this:

It didn't help anything(I used the grease they gave me)
I then replaced the o-rings in the other piece:

And that also didn't help.
I tried flipping the first part upside down, but no difference.
Not sure what the bleep is left, except the brass piece it all fits into...


Thoughts?


Thanks fellas,

ok, I guess I'll reply to my own thread...
I'm going to go & buy the pressure balancing unit, and replace that as well.
I really hope that does it: I'll be almost $100 into fixing a leak at that point...

The valve shuts the water off completely if it is in good repair. The pressure balancing unit has nothing to do with shutting the water off, so spend wisely. Do you have the right replacement part? Are all the seals in good repair?

howdy, the seals were all new, when I replaced the valve.
Kohlers site calls for replacing both, so I took a chance at the Home Cheapo..
Sure enough, she's not leaking now.


somehow, the PBU was leaking.. I dunno... something caused it to do so..
seals, something internal..


thanks for the reply,
