On monday we were called by a customer that got us from Google search engine in looking for a plumber for a repair in a bathroom. The task was a tub faucet replacement. This faucet had been broken for over two years. Given that family company is soon to arrive at this customer's home, the installation of a new tub shower faucet was requested.
The project, as the video shows below, multiple steps were taken to rework this shower valve in the wall. The existing hole in the wall had to be widened, along with the cleaning off of the old silicone that once provided a waterproof seal from the cover plate of the shower faucet to the shower's fiberglass wall.
The customer opted to reuse the existing trim on the faucet that was on before. This faucet was out of commission for over two years, the water lines were cut and removed from the faucet at time of incident. The tub/shower faucet was the old style Delta Faucet where the 3 copper tubes from valve to valve body was damaged in the process of removing the bonnet nut.
