single lever shower valve

I want to replace my older no name 3 piece controls with a 1 lever for shower/tub. I will have to do some cosmetic stuff and later and am ok with that. I have access to valve assembly front and back of the stall.
I want a lower priced but decent unit that is common...something that wont be obsolete soon.
I need the rough in bracket and valve. I will make it fit in my shower space with new connections.
Can someone recommend a model around 100-130$ complete( no shower head or bath spout)
that is decent....??

I'd go with a name brand such as Delta or Moen, I prefer Delta over Moen, but that's just personal preference.

Agree with Joe. Any of the know brands. some other names will be American Standard, Hansgroug, Price-Phister. They all have lifetime warranty.

Why do you want prices on replacement cartridges? It's lifetime warranty. I've sent many a customer back to Delta and Moen for warranty repair. Never a problem. Only thing is you need to wait for it.

Multiple waterfall shower heads

R

remodel566 on Jul 16, 2020

Hello all and hope all is well with you all. I would like to install 4 "waterfall showerheads " in a square pattern and get a real waterfall experience. Can you please tell me if I will run into any pressure / capacity issues? Is such a project feasible where the water pressure and capacity will be normal? Do they sell a "1 to 4" water connection splitter? An example picture of the shower head is below. Any and all ideas are welcome. Thank you

Kitchen faucet pull out sprayer drips water

P

purathal on Jul 12, 2020

Hello All, A newbie here - Both to this forum and to the world of plumbing since becoming a new home owner recently. Anyways, I got this kitchen faucet (as shown in the pictures) and the water continues to drip from the sprayer when the both the cold/hot taps are completely shut. It drips about 1 drop of water every 10 seconds or so. What exactly I need to do or where to start to fix the problem? I hope the entire faucet set does not have to replaced, if that's the case is anyone able to tell what make/model the shown faucet is? Many thanks for any any assistance or tips you folks can provide. [i]close up of the sprayer where the water keeps dripping[/i] [i]Kitchen faucet with pull out sprayer[/i]
