How to Fix A Dripping or Leaky Single Handle Faucet 

I thought the same thing. Let just get this done!!!

I’m having the same issue.

Way to go, Valera! We're glad this video could help.💙

Lol. As a lady I learned that the hard way. Had struggle with a calcified faucet.

I know! With her stupid manicured nails. My hands were black with degraded rubber after this repair.

did you solve it, I took the plastic that has 2 color to indicate water temp.. and could not find the screw.. I placed the s.driver inside and did not find anything... so the thing can't be lefted to change the rubber etc.. I do not want to force the handle it may break.. if you did solve it share here please.. thanks

@@sutil5078 I just replaced the whole system. They're not expensive and it's all I could do. - Mine was one that doesn't come apart.

@@JohnDisque I am planning to change it though it is 8 y/o , but wanted to see if it a rubber or little thing to do I would fix it, sometimes calling and waiting, and paying and standing with the plmber is longer than changing the rubber.. so yours can't come apart, maybe mine is like that I could not find away.. thanks though for your quick answer.. cheers.

Way to go!! 💪

Probably to late but for others. Theres a tiny screw somewhere on the side, l wrench or some sort. Or theres a sealed cap ontop you can pop out witha flat heador knife

I popped the plastic that has 2 color to indicate water temp.. and like Nancy could not find the screw. there is a hole I put the screw driver in in hope of finding a screw I even turn the ball in all direction and stick teh screw drivere to see if it in any side of the ball but could not find it . I placed the s.driver inside and did not find anything... so the thing can't be lefted to change the rubber etc.. I do not want to force the handle it may break.. if you did solve it share here please.. thanks a guy above said he replaced his because he thinks some models cant be taken a part, but I believe if there is a hole it must be for some reason.. any ideal?

@@sutil5078 hex may fit in the hole for turning

@@bobabooey285 thanks I notice that , when I tried 3 sizes one fit and snug but did not take out the screw... so I gave up on it, still leak from the side but lightly.. and they told me it is harder to change this system than the traditional knob faucet ... so I did not attempt to take it out and hanging on.. till find another solution, it work fine but leak from the "ball" so I avoid turning it right or left. any advice? if not, thanks anyways. Have a nice day

Hi there! To fix a double-handled faucet, you'll want to disassemble the faucet and remove the valve stem. Then, install a new O-ring and replace the valve seat. You can also check out the link below for more detailed instructions🔧: www.lowes.com/n/how-to/repair-a-leaky-fauce

past the set screw the parts aren't "fastened" to each other; just pull out/apart by hand... what is to explain?

Maybe you stopped the video in the first minute - each assembly type starts at 1:08 ish

So I pryed the extra metal piece out of the hole to find the screw, had an Allen wrench set, luckily, and was about to remove the handle. The cap was a struggle, but I forced it off with a rag and wrench. They simply pull out the ball like nothing, and i pulled up on it, but feel like there's more steps to unscrew and undo, based on it not moving at all. DIY sucks still.

And I finally finished the job, after $25 of parts and two trips to Home Depot. I replaced the cartridge, but that wasn't enough, so I replaced the o-ring set below the handle. This video was so far off from a real experience, it turned unhelpful.

@@frankjones6406 i got your luck Frank ..ugg ...i think i may just price a new one ...and prob f@@@ that up trying to swap it out !!!!😭

Don’t be rude

God forbid

With an attitude like that, I bet that DIY is all you get to do. Why would any woman want to DY? 😄
