Bathroom Guide

I changed the O rings in my peerless bathroom faucet, but now the water won't turn off?

I changed the seats and springs in the stems of the faucet and I turned the water on and water came out of the faucet and you can't control it with the valves on the faucet. I changed the seats and springs not the O rings. The guy at lowes said that was what needed to be changed.

  1. Start by checking to see that the new seats and springs remained in place when the faucet was reassembled. Next check to see the the ball was installed correctly. Make sure that the cam washer is tightened enough to prevent a leak at the top of the faucet but not too tight as to restrict movement of the handle.
  2. I was one who suggested that. were you able to get the parts on warranty as I suggested? You may just have put the springs in wrong. They are tricky.
