Hi Everyone,

I just moved into a condo built in 99 and it apears that the handle in
the shower/tub has broken off. The single handle is a Delta brand and
I was wondering if this is the type of project that I can do by myself
or if i'm better off calling a plumber. I've tried loking for a screw
or something but can't seem to locate where it would attach to the
broken shower handle.

If part of the handle is still there, there is probably a set screw
needing an allan key to remove it. If its all gone, there will be a rod
sticking out with either a threaded hole in the end, or marks on the
side where a set screw was on it. Depends on type of handle. Can be
either a plastic knob or a metal lever with a ball on the end.

See what they look like at the borg. You should be able to get a
replacement there.

Also, since it's a condo, I don't have access to any shutoffs for water
that feeds into the shower/tub unless it runs off the same shutoffs
that control the sink.

There SHOULD be a master valve that cuts off the whole unit's water
somewhere. May be near the water meter or may be inside or outside the
unit. Note. "SHOULD be" not "is".

If its just the handle, it can be put on without cutting off the water.
