After you work on a few frost free valves you'll replace them instead of fixing them. I've worked on many but it can be very frustrating. I have many spare parts that don't fit the faucet they were ordered for. The designs change often rendering replacement parts useless.
Yes, I removed the handle, and it does appear to be the same as the exploded view, but my problem is that I can’t find anyone who sells parts for a Nibco faucet.
Were you able to fix it. I have the exact same problem. Previous home owner did not fix it and was missed at inspection. Trying to see if I can fix it rather the replace it. Trying to avoid breaking the wall! Thanks Fig # 80 Nibco
What is the total length of that part ?
Is it stripped and won't tighten or is the sealing end broken ?
Usually once the length is established the part can be located.
Plumbing supply houses as well as most home improvements stores sell the internal parts.
It's easiest to bring old part with you.
[color=#141414]Hi,[/color]
[color=#141414]Plumbing idiot seeking advice. I replaced my strainer baskets in my kitchen sink and the pvc nut connecting the drain pipe to the strainer basket on the right sink doesn't thread onto the strainer basket threads; it also doesn't line up to the strainer basket opening very well. I cannot loosen the p-trap or anything below it because all the PVC pipe from the entrance to the p-trap down is glued together. This led me to the following questions:[/color]
[color=#141414]1. Should I cut the PVC pipe leading down into the basement/septic and just rebuild the whole system?[/color]
[color=#141414]2. Should I just replace the PVC pipe and locking nut on right sink and hope it lines up correctly?[/color]
[color=#141414]3. Why is there a vent pipe going nowhere and uncapped under the sink?[/color]
[color=#141414]Pictures attached![/color]
[color=#141414]Thanks in advance for any wisdom you can offer![/color]
[color=#141414]Regards,[/color]

I was thinking of adding the Moen Annex system so we could have both the shower head and the hand attachment on a bar. My question is this, is it a code certainty that our shower has this and it's removable.

The Annex system requires this "arm" to be removed. My fear is that mine of not removable. It's original to the home so which ever way saved the builder a .05 cents was the way he'd go if not a code requirement.
