sayco stems for shower hot, cold
I replaced yesterday my tub valve stems with a sayco stem kit for bathtub (with knobs
& all) from home depot. my original stems were also sayco and the hot & cold had a small leak so the kit replaces all three (hot, middle diverter and cold) question I had was about the small nut closest to the handle where I can tighten the stem before I screw it in. how tight should this be? currently with the new stems in, there is a small leak of water from the cold side when I open only the hot side and am not sure if that is due to the middle diverter stem or the cold stem needing the nut to be tighter I did first handtighten it and then with a small wrench, turn it 3/4 of a turn as I was afraid to overtighten it. |
