my bathtub faucet drips and I cant identify the type/manufacturer but I have a picture of it
About a year ago I repaired a shower/tub cartridge exactly like
the one shown. I believe it was a Moen. I had to purchase a cartridge puller ($10) to remove the old one. Home Depot sold a repair kit (~$12) that included three O rings and two rubber tabs installed on both sides for hot and cold flow. Chances are one of the tabs is torn and not shutting off the hot or cold flow. A problem with an O ring would cause the leak behind the handle. Your leak is probably one of the tabs torn. Make note of the original cartridge placement and put it back in the same way. It is possible to install the cartridge upside down. Home Depot did not have a replacement cartridge in their inventory, so, be careful when removing the original one as you'll have to reuse it with the new repair kit. If the rubber tabs are torn inside, it may take a little effort to pull the original cartridge back out, thus, I had to buy the cartridge puller. Your local plumbing store may have the entire cartridge. I'm sure he'll know what is needed. Good Luck...Bob -- ______________ lvMMMCDLXXIX+1 "pronforall" wrote in message newsan.2006.03.26.19.13.47.789291@mindyourbusine ss.com... http://www.geocities.com/asa386/bathroom.jpg my bathtub faucet has been dripping for over two weeks now and steadly getting worse by the looks of it ...

From the pic it looks like something written on the bottom of the trim
plate. It looks like it says Delta, but I'm not sure. |

Yes, I believe you are correct. I mentioned a Moen, but, I believe
you're correct. It may well be a Delta. My memory was from a year ago. But, the information about the cartridge still applies.
