Amateur plumbing, part II





I finally received the correct parts for my shower control valve from Kohler. Whereas the last time I had a really funny moment of high pressure water shooting out at me because I neglected to turn off the main property valve, this time all went well. However, being as lazy as I am and also slightly more cockily confident, I once again didn't turn off the main property valve.

Fortunately there are valves at the supply lines right at the fixture, so I turned them off there. I can't say I didn't have a slight bit of fear when removing the mix valve though.

Now the constant drip of the leaky valve is gone, though now my wife says that it's kind of weird not to be able to hear the leaky drip.
