Delta Shower Valve leaking
The shower in my master bath started to drip continuously. Picked up new cartridge and what I thought was a straight forward replacement. Unfortunately the new cartridge leaks continuously as well. This is more than the drips that come after the shower gets turned off. Not a big leak but enough to be annoying.Did I miss something obvious. perhaps damaged one of the round gaskets. If I had to do it again, I would use some silicone plumbers lubricant but I wouldn't have thought it would ahve been necessary.

Did you use a Delta brand replacement cartridge or an aftermarket one? More than once I've had trouble with aftermarket. If you call Delta they will send you the parts you need.

This was an aftermarket cartridge so that might be a possibility. I have a replacement coming today. This is such a straightforward replacement. Would this mean that the leak is internal to the cartridge?
